Parameter 179 controls lube pump behavior.

A default setting of "0" in parm 179 turns on the lube output anytime a program is running. The default settings should be used with Bijur and other "one-shot" style pumps that uses a timing motor to slowly raise a spring plunger in the lube pump until it reaches the top of it's stroke and the plunger then shoots a shot of lube into the lube system before cycling again. Typically the height at which the plunger is released is mechanically adjustable which lengthens/shortens both the stroke (the amount of lube released) and the cycle time between shots.

Pumps with electronic timers are also supported -please see parm 179 in the manual for further info.

if you are asking when does out2 relay close then:
during execution of a program, AND when you enter MDI mode if I recall. I just completed mine and I checked both of these conditions and they worked for me. Hope this helps. PM me if you want to possibly trade emails as new DC-AIO Centroid users.
Best,
Jeff .
