Changing the discharge period or triggering additional discharges (PURGE) is possible at any time during operation. The APP reports error messages, such as overpressure, an empty LC, or a deviating temperature range. Depending on the equipment requirements, you can use the perma CONNECT APP to switch lubrication systems on and off on your mobile device, localize lubrication systems via a signal, or even display the lubricator history.
