PRELUB OVERVIEW
Purpose of Prelub System
The RPM Prelub System was introduced on Cummins high horsepower engines to distribute oil throughout the lubrication system in the engine before starting. This automatic system uses a motor driven pump to supply oil from the sump to the main oil rifle prior to starting the engine. A prelubrication system assures oil pressure in the main rifle and oil availability to all friction surfaces in the engine at startup. Thus, engine wear is reduced. It also reduces the risk of starting the engine without oil in the engine sump or dry oil filters. There are three types of prelubrication systems. Integral Prelub This system is an integral prelubrication pump and engine starter motor. Integral Prelub is mounted at the lower starter bore location. Integral Prelub is available for engine sizes 30 liters and less. Non-Integral Prelub Features a pump and electric motor assembly that can be engine or chassis mounted. The non-integral system is available for engine sizes 19 liters and less. High Volume Pump (HVP) Prelub The Prelub HVP has increased flow capability. The HVP series was mandated for engine sizes of 45 liters and larger. The Prelub HVP can be engine or chassis mounted.

PRELUB APPLICATION
QSK45/60/78
These engines will offer the higher capacity HVP pump in order minimize engine pre-lubrication time. The Prelub HVP is a stand-alone pre-lube pump. Also included is a new timer solenoid, 2-terminal pressure switch, and 400 Amp fuse. Because the pre-lube pump is separate from the starter motor there is no need to delay engagement of the starter motor when the oil rifle pressure has reached the 2 psi trip point. Therefore, the HVP uses a .5 zero-second delay timer in place of the three-second delay used with the integral pre-lube pump. For the QSK45 engine, the Prelub HVP is available only as a remote off-engine installation due to space constraints. For the QSK60 engine, the Prelub HVP is available both on- and off-engine.
QST30
This engine will continue to use integral Prelub starter motors. Product improvements implemented include a more durable timer solenoid, a 300 Amp slow-burn fuse, and a 2-terminal 2.5 psi pressure switch. The pressure switch trip point has been reduced from 4 psi to 2.5 psi in order to ensure adequate startability.

Plumbing Required plumbing includes suction side hose to oil pan, pressure side hose to engine, and check valve at the engine for the pressure side hose
Wiring and Harness with Fuse Integrates the electrical components of the Prelub system Connects the pressure switch, key switch, and starter relay to the timer solenoid and Prelub motor
The chassis mounted Prelub HVP uses the same motor and pump as the engine mounted system. A bracket for the HVP motor/pump assembly is provided with the engine in kit. The OEM is responsible for mounting the pump on the chassis. The OEM is also responsible for installing the plumbing, wire harness, and timer relay. The HVP engine mounted bracket is in the appendix for reference.
Prelub Plumbing
Suction Side Hose The suction side hose will connect the oil pan sump to the Prelub pump. The suction hose will be installed at the factory for engine mounted Prelub systems. For optimum performance, the length of the suction side hose should be minimized. The OEM is responsible for installing the suction hose for chassis mounted systems. For standard Prelub system, engines larger than 30 liters should use a #20 with 1 1/8 ID for the suction side hose. A #16 with 7/8 ID hose should be used for engine sizes 30 liters and less. The HVP system will use a #20 with 1 1/8 ID. HVP system oil pan suction fitting should have at least 1 ID (1 5/8 ORB, 1 NPT, M42). The suction hose length is not to exceed 1270 mm [50 in] in length. The OEM should cut the hose to fit the installation. The oil supply port location varies by engine model. Refer to the oil pan option in the sales handbook for the designated Prelub port. The oil drain ports must not be used. Clips for the hose need to be used to avoid rubbing or excessive vibration. The clips are OEM supplied. Pressure Side Hose The pressure side hose will connect the Prelub pump to the engine. The pressure hose will be installed at the factory for engine mounted Prelub systems. For chassis mounted Prelub systems, a #10 hose with ID is supplied in the Prelub kit with the engine. HVP Prelub systems will be supplied with a #16 hose with 7/8 ID. The kit pressure side hose should be cut to fit the OEM application. HVP system oil return port should have at least 0.6 ID (3/4 pipe, 1 1/16 ORB, M22). The length of the pressure side hose is limited by diameters of the pressure and suction hoses as well as the length of the suction side hose. The table below provides the maximum pressure hose length to suction hose length ratios. Installations should use only high quality SAE connections and fittings for oil lines. Maximum Hose length: Ratio of maximum pressure hose length to maximum suction hose length Suction Hose Size #16, 7/8" ID #20, 1 1/8" ID HVP - #20 Pressure Hose Size #10, 1/2" ID 2.5:1 1.5:1 N/A #12, 5/8" ID 4.5:1 2.5:1 N/A #16, 7/8" ID 10:1 7:1 4:1
The port location for the oil pressure hose will vary by engine model. Acceptable port locations are documented on the engine installation diagrams. For every installation, the pressure side hose must be connected before the engine lubrication filters. The check valve is to be installed where the pressure side hose is attached to the engine. Flow through the valve is to be toward the engine. The valve will prevent reverse flow after the engine is started. If the check valve is installed incorrectly, Prelub motor failure may result.
Pressure Switch
A pressure switch (normally closed) is included. This switch must be located to sense oil pressure after the oil has passed through the full flow oil filters. Switch has a 2.5 +/-0.5 psi pressure setting and a 2-terminal Packard connection which will improve assembly of the wiring harness to the switch. The recommended location is at the main oil rifle at the rear of the block or flywheel housing. See the appendix for pressure switch performance and terminal specifications.
Timer Relay
The timer relay must be mounted off the engine. The mounting technique should protect the unit from shock & vibration, excessive temperatures and direct high-pressure sprays. The relay must be mounted to minimize the shock and vibrations along the axis of the relay canister. For most wheeled applications, the timer relay canister should be mounted with the canister horizontal and axis of the canister at 90 to the crankshaft centerline. Mounting the canister horizontally will minimize the chance of the switch being actuated because of vertical shock loading. Mounting the canister at 90 to the direction of travel will minimize the chance of the switch being activated due to shock loading from the vehicle.
The relay must also be mounted to avoid heat sources such as mufflers and exhaust manifolds. The relay should not be exposed to ambient temperatures over 185 F (85 C). The relay should be protected from direct contact of a high pressure wash. Moisture may enter the canister and damage functionality. Refer to the appendix for the timer relays terminal specifications and bracket mounting details.

Wire Harness
A wire harness for the Prelub system is provided in a kit with the engine. The provided wire harness will connect the pressure switch and the Prelub motor to the timer relay. The OEM is responsible for providing system voltage to the B+ terminal on the Prelub starter motor or the B+ terminal of the chassis mounted Prelub harness. The OEM is also responsible for providing a ground wire from the Prelub motor back to the batteries. The wiring for the Prelub system and cranking motor must meet Cummins wiring requirements. See AEB 111.15 for wiring requirements. The harness will also include a fuse to protect the Prelub circuit. In accordance with Cummins AEB 111.15 all circuits (except cranking) must be protected by a fuse. The nominal, steady state, current draw during a Prelub cycle is approximately 200amp, and maximum current draw is approximately 270amp. Consequently, the Prelub harness is sized smaller than a cranking motor harness. However, if the motor fails during the Prelub cycle, the motor is capable to pull much higher currents. The smaller Prelub harness is more susceptible to damage when compared to the larger cranking harness. The fuse will protect the Prelub harness from progressive damage. It is recommended that the wire harness included with the Prelub system is used in the engine installation. However, if the OEM is unable to use the standard harness, the OEM may accept design responsibility and develop a custom harness. If a custom harness is developed, refer to AEB 111.15 design guidelines. Additional recommendations unique to the Prelub system include: Minimum wire size Prelub: #4 gage Prelub HVP: #0 gage Maximum resistance of main power circuit 0.004 ohm (24 volt standard system)\ 0.003 ohm (HVP system) Wire installation temperature capability o 120 C Wire installation material Thermoset plastic Fuse Prelub: 300 amp maximum Prelub HVP: 400 amp maximum The OEM is responsible for wiring from the battery to the B+ terminal on the Prelub motor and for the wiring from the ignition switch to the timer logic module or the RPM harness. Refer to Cummins AEB 111.15 for wiring recommendations. The wire diagrams of the standard RPM harness are in the appendix.
