Frequently Asked Questions About perma STAR VARIO BLUETOOTH
Find answers to common questions about configuring, monitoring and using perma STAR VARIO BLUETOOTH for automatic single-point lubrication.
perma STAR VARIO BLUETOOTH is designed for the automatic lubrication of a single lubrication point. It can be used with roller and sliding bearings, sliding guides, open gears, gear racks, spindles, shaft seals and chains. Its precise lubricant delivery also makes it suitable for electric motors that require defined lubricant quantities.
Both systems provide precise, electromechanical single-point lubrication with adjustable discharge settings and lubricant canisters in 60, 120, 250 and 500 cc sizes. The Bluetooth model also connects with perma CONNECT, allowing users to configure, monitor and maintain the lubrication system from a compatible smart device within a Bluetooth range of up to 30 m.
perma CONNECT can be used to configure and monitor perma STAR VARIO BLUETOOTH remotely. When connected to the lubricator, users can view live status information, turn the lubricator on or off, change discharge settings, view lubricant fill levels and initiate purge cycles from a distance of up to 30 m.
No. perma STAR VARIO BLUETOOTH operates automatically without a Gateway BLUETOOTH. Users can configure and monitor nearby lubricators directly through a compatible Bluetooth connection using the perma CONNECT app. A Gateway BLUETOOTH is only needed when access is required beyond the normal Bluetooth range. The gateway transmits operating data from compatible lubrication systems so users can monitor current lubricator information through perma CONNECT from outside the immediate area.
Yes. perma STAR VARIO BLUETOOTH operates automatically according to its configured discharge setting and does not depend on a continuous Bluetooth connection to dispense lubricant. Bluetooth provides additional configuration and monitoring capabilities rather than powering the lubrication process. This is supported by the product page’s description of the unit as fully automatic and battery-powered.
The correct configuration depends on the amount of lubricant required by the application and how frequently it should be delivered. perma STAR VARIO BLUETOOTH is available with 60, 120, 250 and 500 cc lubricant canisters. The discharge period is selected through the drive, with standard settings from 1 to 12 months or 1 to 52 weeks. The appropriate canister size and discharge setting should be selected based on the equipment requirements, operating conditions and desired lubricant output.
Yes. The system provides pressure build-up of up to 109 psi, or 7.5 bar, and supports remote mounting with a lubrication line up to 16 feet, or 5 meters, depending on the application. This can place the lubricator in a safer or more accessible location while continuing to supply the lubrication point.
The system can dispense grease up to NLGI 2 or oil. The lubricant should be selected based on the equipment manufacturer’s requirements, the application and operating conditions. When the system is remotely mounted, the lubrication line and connections should be prepared according to perma’s installation instructions.
Before installation, clean the lubrication point and remove the grease fitting. Prefill the lubrication point and any lubrication lines with the same lubricant contained in the lubrication system. Confirm that the mounting position, connection parts and lubricant are suitable for the application, then install and activate the system according to perma’s installation instructions.
