On this page, you will find some important information for quick and easy operation and setting of the
Timken C-Power. Before the first installation of the Timken C-Power, and whenever you need detailed
instructions, you should read the complete Operating Manual, which contains information that must
be observed. Make sure to follow the instructions given in the chapter “Safety Notes.”
1. Assembly of the Timken C-Power/Exchange of Timken C-Power
LV-Unit (refer to Chapters 4 and 7)
Mount the drive unit on the mounting plate and secure it at
•
the three pre-drilled holes (see attached template).
Insert a new battery set into the battery compartment (follow
•
directions of the arrows).
Place the LV-Unit inside the cover and remove the plug of the
•
LV-Unit.
Push the LV-Unit into the cover until lubricant comes out of
•
the opening.
Place the LV-Unit with its cover on the drive unit. Make sure
•
that the catch locks and that the teeth of LV-Unit and drive
unit interlock.
Turn the cover clockwise until the bayonet catch locks.
•
2. Determine the Discharge Period (refer to Chapter 6.7)
Refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines about the lubrication point that you want to lubricate
•
to determine the required lubricant amount in cc per one hundred operating hours.
Refer to Chart 3 (Chapter 6.7, Chart 4) and find your required lubrication amount. Based on that, the
•
chart will show you the required C-Power LV-Unit size, the setting of the discharge period, and
the setting mode.
You also may refer to our Timken Select program, which can be downloaded from our web page
•
free of charge. It helps you in selecting the correct settings.
3. Setting of LV-Unit Size, Discharge Period, Outlets and PIN (refer to Chapter 6.8)
Hold down the MODE/SAVE button until the set time is displayed.
•
Hold down the MODE/SAVE button again until you reach the current PIN (PIN cannot be changed
•
here/PIN setting at delivery is “00”).
Hold down the MODE/SAVE button again until you reach the other setting menus:
•
LV-Unit, discharge period, outlets and PIN change. Change settings with a short push of
MODE/SAVE or ON/OFF/SELECT.
4. Save Settings (refer to Chapter 6.8)
Keep the MODE/SAVE button pressed until display shows “– –”.
•
5. Starting Timken C-Power (refer to Chapter 6.5)
Hold down the ON/OFF/SELECT button until the “Remaining Volume” appears in the
•
display and the green LED starts blinking.
6. Stopping Timken C-Power (refer to Chapter 6.6)
Keep the ON/OFF/SELECT button pressed until the display shows (“––”).

On this page, you will find some important information for quick and easy operation and setting of your Timken
C-Power Distributor Block. Before the Timken C-Power Distributor Block is used, prior to the assembly of the
distributor with a lubricator of the Timken C-Power range and whenever you need detailed information, you
should read the complete Operating Instructions, which contain information that must be observed. Make sure
to follow the instructions given in the chapter “Safety Instructions.“
Additionally, you have to observe the Operating Instructions of the connected lubricator.
1. Assembly of Timken C-Power (refer to Chapters 4.1 and 4.2)
Screw connections into the outlets that you want to activate and seal the other outlets with plugs.
•
2. Connect Timken C-Power to the Lubricator (refer to Chapter 4.2)
Connect the lubricant tubes (Ø 8 x 1.5, inner-Ø 5mm, admissible total length per pipe up to 5 m) to the
•
connecting pieces of the distributor and lay them between the distributor and the lubrication point.
Connect the lubricator with the distributor using the enclosed connecting cable. For this, the
•
lubrication system must be switched off.
3. Determine Discharge Period (refer to Chapter 6.7)
Determine the required lubricant volume (cc) per one hundred operating hours while taking into
•
account the number of open outlets. For this, you have to multiply the lubricant volume with the
number of open outlets.
You have to take into account that this distributor is able to supply an equal amount of lubricant to up
•
to six lubrication points.
Determine the required discharge volume using the Operating Instructions of the lubricator. Depending
•
on the size of the Timken C-Power LV-Unit, you can then determine the setting of the discharge period
and the setting mode.
You also may refer to our Timken Select program. It helps you in selecting the correct settings.
•
4. Setting and Starting the Complete Lubrication System (refer to Chapter 6.5)
Set discharge period or Impulse mode, size of Timken C-Power LV-Unit, outlets, PIN (refer to
•
Timken C-Power Multi-Point Lubricator/Timken C-Power Control Multi-Point Lubricator operating
instructions, Chapter 6.8, of each lubricator).
Keep the ON/OFF/SELECT button of the Timken C-Power Multi-Point Lubricator pressed until the
•
display no longer shows “––” (for Off).
An automatic initialization is carried out by the lubrication system and the display shows the counting
•
of the outlets.
After the initialization is complete, the display of the lubricator shows the remaining volume and the
•
lubrication system starts to operate.

standard grease?
Correct Answer: 3 m maximum tube length for standard grease, 5 m maximum tube length for low
temperature grease (arrow 1 meets the dashed line of the standard grease range at 3 m)
2. You want to use a 4 m tube. Up to what temperature can the system be used?
Correct Answer: +10° C/50° F with standard grease -5° C/23° F with low-temperature grease (arrow 3
meets the dotted line of low-temperature grease at the -5° C mark; and the dashed line of the standard
grease at the +10° C mark)
