Block Diagram for the Vital Information Management System (VIMS) (1) VIMS main module. (2) Message center module. (3) Cat data link cable. (4) VIMS keypad module. (5) Electric solenoid air valve. (6) Pressure sensor for the lubricant. (7) Interface module 1 for the VIMS. (8) Interface module 2 for the VIMS. (9) Interface module 3 for the VIMS. The electrical system for the automatic lubrication system consists of the following components:
VIMS main module (1)
Message center module (2)
VIMS keypad module (4)
Electric solenoid air valve (5)
Pressure sensor (6) for the lubricant
Interface modules (7), (8) and (9) for the VIMSNote: The components for the VIMS are connected with the Cat data link.

View of the Pressure Sensor (6) Pressure sensor for the lubricant.The VIMS energizes electric solenoid air valve (5) at specific intervals.Note: The automatic lubrication system is only active when the engine speed is greater than 1000 rpm.After the engine has started and the engine speed is greater than 1000 rpm, there is a two minute delay before the automatic lubrication system begins. While the engine speed is greater than 1000 rpm, the VIMS will energize electric solenoid air valve (5) for 60 seconds. Then, the VIMS de-energizes the electric solenoid air valve. At every 15 minute interval, the VIMS will energize the electric solenoid air valve for 60 seconds. This continues unless the engine speed is lower than 1000 rpm or until the machine is turned off.Note: The duration of the cycle is adjustable from 60 to 120 seconds. The default is 60 seconds.The lubrication interval can be adjusted. The time can be adjusted from five minutes to 15 minutes in one minute increments. The default time is 15 minutes. In order to adjust the lubrication interval, the operator must enter "582738" or "LUBSET" on keypad (4). The operator must then press the "OK" key. The duration of each cycle is fixed at 60 seconds. For additional information on adjusting the cycle time, refer to the following section: Service Manual, RENR3312, "Electrical System - Test".The autolube system can be activated manually. In order to manually operate the lubrication system, the operator must enter "582626" or "LUBMAN" on keypad (4). The operator must then press the "OK" key. This will activate the automatic lubrication system for one complete cycle. The engine speed does not need to be greater than 1000 rpm for manually operating the lubrication system.The VIMS monitors pressure sensor (6). If the pressure of the lubricant is not correct the VIMS will display a warning. For additional information on the pressure sensor, refer to the following section: Service Manual, RENR3312, "Lubrication System".
