C-Power LV-unit, which can be supplied in 250 cc ➞ and 500 cc versions. Lubricant can be requested by the customer. Use only Timken C-Power LV-units. Battery set, consisting of two batteries. The ➞ batteries are not rechargeable and must be changed every time the C-Power LV-unit is replaced.
Before connecting the outlet of the drive unit to the lubricant tube, make sure that the lubrication points and the complete lubricant tube are pre-lubricated with the same lubricant that is contained in the C-Power LV-unit. To do this, Timken offers a 400 g lubrication cartridge for manually operated grease presses.
Assembly of the Lubricator ■ Insert the battery set into the drive unit (according to the direction of the arrow on the label). ■ Check the position of the jumper. It must correspond to the size of the C-Power LV-unit (refer to figure 4 and chapter 7.1).

■ Push the C-Power LV-unit into the protection cover until lubricant comes out of the opening (refer to figure 6). Figure 6 ■ Place the C-Power LV-unit, with its protection cover, on the drive unit. Make sure that the catch locks in place and that the teeth of the C-Power LV-unit and the drive unit interlock (refer to figure 4 and figure 7).
DISPLAY AND CONTROL ELEMENTS OF THE LUBRICATION SYSTEM Display Elements The operating status of the C-Power can be determined via the green or red LED and the display screen on the C-Power unit (refer to figure 8). The C-Power offers a menu-guided setting. Changes to settings are shown on the display.
The tube must be a Timken product. ■ Please verify that the connection threads of the Timken C-Power (G 3/8 or G 1/8) correspond to the connection thread of the lubrication point. If they do not match, a corresponding reducer or other parts can be ordered from the Timken accessory range.
■ If a malfunction is indicated on the display, use the troubleshooting guide (table 4, chapter 8.2) to determine the cause. If the problem cannot be fixed, contact your Timken supplier for technical support. Additional discharges and prolonged idle periods must be taken into account when determining the remaining discharge period of the lubricator.
This information can be obtained in technical documents by the manufacturer of the lubrication point. Using this information, determine the appropriate discharge setting. See table 3. Table 3 Timken C-Power Normal Settings 1 month = 30.4 days • 1 week = 7 days • 0.5 cc/shot Average Discharge...
The discharge period can be set any time without having to install a new C-Power LV-unit (refer to figures 15 to 18) and without having to interrupt operation. The Timken C-Power can be switched on or off, because the system switches back to its original operating status after the changes have been made.

Days MODE Time SAVE Figures in the display are blinking. Display shows “– –,” if Timken C-Power was previously off. Display shows “. % Vol.,” if Timken C-Power was previously Figure 18 switched on. ■ To check the changes, press the MODE/SAVE button again, until the display switches to the configuration mode and shows the current settings.
Example of a Calculation of the Remaining Discharge Period The Timken C-Power with a 250 cc C-Power LV-unit was originally set to a discharge period (SDP) of eight months, because the lubrication point needs 4.3 cc lubricant /100 h. After two months, the Timken C-Power indicates a remaining volume (RV) of 75% Vol.
REPLACEMENT OF THE C-POWER LV-UNIT Remember the Following: When a C-Power LV-unit becomes empty and must be replaced, the red and green LEDs will blink simultaneously. Also, the display will indicate that the C-Power LV-unit is empty (refer to figure 21). % Vol.
C-Power LV-unit and the drive unit interlock. The control system will automatically recognize the new C-Power LV-unit. The display will indicate “– –“ if the Timken C-Power was switched off prior to the replacement of the C-Power LV-unit. It will indicate “99% Vol.“ if the Timken C-Power was switched on before the replacement.
