General notes
The Multi-System 5000 made by HYDROTECHNIK GmbH Limburg, Germany, is an efficient battery-powered hand-held measuring instrument
for various physical variables. You can choose from two digital and 4 analogue inputs. The digital inputs can be connected with sensors with
output signals between 2 mV and 10 mV and sensors with standardised output signals from 0 to 20 mA and 4 to 20 mA can be connected to
the analogue inputs.
Thus others than HYDROTECHNIK sensors may be used, provided that their output signals do not exceed the above-mentioned values and that
a voltage of 10 to 30 VDC is supplied.
Today, modern measuring instruments do not only have to acquire and display measuring values, but, to an increasing extent, should store
these values, too.
Therefore, the Multi-System 5000 disposes of two independent memories, one of them being a min/max. memory, permanently calculating and
storing the min/max. values of the six measuring channels. The other memory with its capacity of 250 kB (250,000 measuring values) allows
the storage of a maximum of 20 data files. For the storage of measuring data there are different trigger adjustments, which can be adapted to
the various measuring tasks.
A special option enables the user to display and store quantities, calculated by the linkage of two measuring channels (subtraction or addition).
The stored data files are automatically provided with date and time and can be printed as tables or graphics, even at a later time. This is
possible either for the complete data file or for a special part.
The software of the Multi-System 5000 was developed and tested most carefully, but even that cannot totally rule out software errors. Should
you dectect a software error, please inform HYDROTECHNIK accordingly within the guarantee period. We will send you an update, free of
charge.
For the first time you have the possibility to invoke and display the stored data file directly as a graphic course. In doing so, you can directly
see the characteristic course of your measuring curve, correct it according to your measuring tasks and modify the measuring parameters in a
way, that you will receive the required measuring result.
The min/max. values of a stored data file can be displayed at the same time.
Via the RS 232 interface, data can directly be transferred to a PC or Laptop with a rate of 38400 Baud.
The PC-software „HYDROcomsys“, developed by HYDROTECHNIK, is designed to process large data volumes with both, tables and graphics,
and to analyse measuring values with statistical evaluation.
For that, a text editor to enter useful comments and the possibility to select several windows is advantageous.
Technical structure
All electronic parts are in a plastic housing with a special battery compartment on the back, the lid of which can be unscrewed, so that the user
can easily carry out a change of the high-performance nickel-cadmium battery (14,4V/1Ah).
For recharging the batteries and for long-term stationary operation HYDROTECHNIK offers a separate plug-in power unit 230 VAC / 24 VDC.
A characteristic feature of the Multi-System 5000 is its surface with only 4 keys that control all subroutines.
The start/stop key serves for a manual start or stop in the memory and printer programme, only.
All other keys serve for the input of measuring ranges, calibration values, linearisation tables, scaling, etc.
In the eight-line graphic-display six external measuring values and two internally calculated measurable variables can be displayed at
the same time, as a maximum of six sensors can be connected simultaneously. As there are only four measuring inputs at the front of the
Multi-System 5000, a divider cable is needed for the simultaneous connection of two pressure sensors to one analogue input (to K1 and K2,
or to K3 and K4).
When using a dual sensor for pressure and temperature, this cable is not necessary.
The internal software of the Multi-System 5000 can mathematically evaluate a pressure- or temperature differential and display it, however two
corresponding are always needed for this.

Description of the function keys
Contrast
By continously pressing key „Contrast“, the brightness of the display can be adjusted
individually. As soon as the key is released the respective brightness will be stored and
will remain unchanged even when the instrument is switched off.
Esc.
Programme interrupt
By pressing the „Esc.“ key any subroutine can be left and the previous function will be
displayed. In certain subroutines, where an input is required, a program interrupt is only
possible after the confirmation with key „ENT“ and a stroke of key „Esc.“ afterwards.
Measure
Selection of programme „Measure“
There are four subroutines available:
- definition of measuring channels
- definition of calculation
- selection of display
- definition of display
Programming
Input of data for the measuring sensors:
analogue sensor type 0 to 20 mA or 4 to 20 mA,
calibration value, zero point correction or linearisation values
measurement of frequency by turbine or gearwheel
Memory
Selection of programme „Memory“
There are six subroutines available:
- display of all parameters
- input of individual parameters
- start of a storage
- display of memory
- deletion of memory
- deletion of the min./max. values
These subroutines are necessary to fulfil all requirements of the measuring values and
parameters to be stored.
Printer
Selection of „Printer“
There are three subroutines available:
- selection of printer
- printout as table
- printout as graphic
7
Start/Stop-function
With this key, the programme can be started or stopped in memory- and print mode.
Movement within the display

The two cursor keys serve for the selection of preset values in the display according to
their direction, or for the switching to another display.
The selection needs to be confirmed with key „ENT“, for example the changing of the
storage time from seconds in minutes.
Selection of sign
This key serves for the input of the sign into the X/Y-axis for the printer scaling,
e.g. -50 °C.
Correction input
With the cursor key, wrong inputs can be corrected. The cursor is set to the left side and
the wrong input can be overwritten.
Block of numbers with decimal point

Input of the requested numbers with or without decimal point, e.g. calibration value,
measuring range end value, etc.
Confirmation
After having entered a value, you have to confirm this input with key ENT.

Instructions for charging the batteries
Before each operation of the measuring instrument, you should make sure that the nickel-cadmium batteries are fully charged.
The use of a HYDROTECHNIK plug-in power supply unit (primary 230 VAC, secondary 24 VDC) ensures a continuous charging
of the batteries.
Please take into consideration that the batteries are only slightly charged when leaving the manufacturer.
We recommend connecting the plug-in power supply unit to the measuring instrument for at least approx. 14 to 16 hours
prior to initial use.
The measuring instrument is able to measure when supplied by any other power unit or a car battery but in such cases
the recharging of the batteries can not be ensured, as a stabilised power source of 24 to 30 VDC is needed for this.
If a battery is discharged it should be recharged for 16 hours, the instrument being switched off.
The service life of nickel-cadmium batteries can be very long, depending greatly on their respective working conditions. It should be avoided
that the batteries are totally discharged, permanently recharged or immediately recharged after each use. Discharging them below 50 % and
recharging them afterwards has got a positive impact on the life span of nickel-cadmium batteries. Due to the so-called memory-effect that
reduces cell capacity, recharging nickel-cadmium batteries after very short time of use cannot be recommended. If the battery is repeatedly
discharged to a minor degree but immediately recharged, the cell‘s capacity will soon be reduced. If that is done over a longer period of time
the battery can suffer permanent damage. There is a chance, however, to regenerate said damage by a number of discharging and recharging
cycles, i.e. by using the instrument for a longer period and then recharging the battery.
Should the batteries not be charged sufficiently, a warning will be displayed „Charge batteries“. In such cases a minimum of 16 hours
recharging time is urgently required.

1. Putting into operation of the measuring instrument
Before describing the measuring instrument in more detail, we want to assure you that it was our aim to write a practice oriented user manual,
which will enable you to understand the logical connections within the structure of the programme, through its clear structure and easily
remembered graphics. By this, you will soon need it only in very specific cases.
If you have to carry out measurements that aren’t applied frequently, a short look at the index should be enough to bring all steps of the
operation back to your memory.
When the instrument is switched on, a display will be shown for about 4 seconds that indicates the initialisation and the current programme
version.
For technical inquiries it is imperative to state the respective version in use.
Initialisation
Programme version version 2.9
(250.000 values)
After the current programme version was shown, the measuring value display will automatically appear (the example shows an arbitrarily
chosen 8-line measuring value display).
P1 : = 0.00 bar
P2 : = 0,00 bar

P3 : = 0,00 bar
P4 : = 0,00 bar
dP2 : = 0,0 bar
Q1 . = 0,000 l/min
N1 :=0 U/min
With the following four keys, the subroutines are invoked, in order to carry out the required commands and programme steps:

The Multi-System 5000 provides menus for the different programme steps, so that you can choose, in some cases enter some data and
confirm. Once all steps are chosen and programmed it is very easy to carry out measurements with the instrument.

measuring range, both pressure sensors can be aligned to 10
different working pressure situations and the corresponding values
can be stored within a single measuring range. This increases the
accuracy within a flow rate measuring range. The internal software
considers the dependence of the root of the pressure drop related to
the flow, adds all alignment parameters and calculates the volume

In practice an alignment is carried out as follows:

purpose best if the maximal possible flow or the highest possible
working pressure is achieved to carry out the alignment.
This is necessary, if only one alignment is carried out.

10. Menu Memory
10.1 Carrying out an optimal storage
With its programmable parameters Multi-System 5000 (from version 2.5 onwards) offers a variety of options for carrying out storage
proceedings. Before storing, you should know exactly, how to carry it out optimally for your purposes.
From version 2.5 on, there is an extended memory available (max. 250,000 values) for newly purchased instruments - in addition to the
standard memory (max.120,000 values).
This larger memory capacity can tempt to carry out a detailed storage with a scanning rate of e.g. 1 ms over a long period of time.
However, this cannot be recommended because the memory would be filled with unnecessary data.
Your should rather select a certain part (window) at a measuring cycle by selecting scanning rate, storage time, type of trigger and pretrigger
adjustment, to obtain a certain excerpt (window) of a measuring circle, as in this case, only a fraction of all measuring data has to be stored.
The following explanations shall help you to find your optimal adjustment of the storage parameters:
10.2 Memory channels
You should select only those channels (variables) which are really needed for the respective measuring task. Please take into consideration
that unnecessary data that is activated when storing, needs a lot of storage capacity and may reduce the processing speed considerably.
Nevertheless it is, of course, possible to correct or detele unnecessary measurable variables with the instrument as well as via the software
HYDROcomsys.
The timely selection of measurable variables to be stored avoids possible restrictions of the memory capacity and the processing speed in
advance.
10.3 Scanning rate
This parameter fixes the duration of storage. In connection with the scanning rate the number of measuring value sets to be stored is defined
at the same time. A measuring value set can consist of one or several measuring values related to different measurable variables.
The measuring values are stored as a measuring value set at one single point of scanning.
For clarification and better understanding, please see the following example:
The measurable variables pressures P1 and P2 and temperature T shall be stored.

A scanning rate of 1ms and a storing time of 5 seconds is defined.
Consequently, 3 measurable variables are stored per scanning (1ms).
After a storage time of 5 seconds 5.000 sets of measuring values, i.e. 25,000 individual values, are stored.
The measuring values of one storage are called data file.

Max. 20 data files can be stored in the Multi-System 5000 and each data file may consist of many measuring value sets.
The storing time is comparable to a window, reflecting a certain section of time of a measuring process. You should select a sufficient
length of storing time to show all desired results but to leave out most of the irrelevant details.
Max. 6 measuring values can be stored simultaneously. The memory capacity is app. 250.000 measuring values and can be divided
into 20 storage locations. The division, how many measuring values are stored to one storage location, depends on the input of the
storage parameters.

The following storage works as follows: after the selection of „memory start“ and input of a group of max. 12 figures , press „ENT“ to prepare
storage. In the menu „Measuring value“ a bar is shown, that indicates the state of the storage, and that, in this case, remains unaltered.
The selected memory variables are not marked by the star symbol.
Only by pressing key you will start the prepared storage, it starts and ends according to the programmed storage time.
To interrupt the process at any time, press key . In doing so, remaining storage capacity is released and available for future storage.

11.2 Trigger type „KEY“
With key the trigger type „KEY“ is selected. In the next line line of the display no measurable variable, but key „Start“ is defined automati-
cally. Additionally a pretrigger can be adjusted, 20% in this example.

A storage is carried out as follows:

The size of a memory range has already been defined with the input of storage time, scanning rate and memory channels. After selection of
„memory start“ and input of a group of max. 12 figures, key „ENT“ needs to be pressed and the storage is activated immediately.
The measuring values of the selected channels are stored.
As soon as the end of the reserved memory range is reached, the oldest data at the beginning of the memory is overwritten, what means that
it is a ring type memory. In the measuring value menu a bar is displayed, that shows the state of the storage.
A flahsing star symbol is displayed in front of the variables to be stored. In the example the bar-graphic shows a storage of 20%, according
to the pretrigger adjustment of 20%. If you press key at any time, the rest of the data (80%) is stored, the bargraph is completed,
the star symbol stops flashing the storage is finished automatically after the fixed storage time. With key the storage can be
interrupted any time.
11.3 Trigger type „VALUE“
With key the trigger type „VALUE“ is selected. A measurable variable needs to be defined as a trigger variable, in the example this is
pressure p1. In this case, the trigger operator is adjusted to „larger“ >. That means, the value of 150 bar, entered afterwards, must be exceeded to
start the trigger and the storage.
* * * * * TRIGGER * * * * *

A storage is carried out as follows:

The size of a memory range has already been defined with the input of storage time, scanning rate and memory channels. After selection of
„memory start“ and input of a group of max. 12 figures, key „ENT“ needs to be pressed and the storage is activated immediately.
The measuring values of the selected channels are stored.
As soon as the end of the reserved memory range is reached, the oldest data at the beginning of the memory is overwritten, what means
that it is a ring type memory. In the measuring value menu a bar is displayed, that shows the state of the storage.
A flahsing star symbol is displayed in front of the variables to be stored. In the example the bar-graphic shows a storage of 20%, according
to the pretrigger adjustment of 20%. If the measuring value P1 of 150 bar is exceeded at any time, the rest of the data (80%) is stored,
the bargraph is completed, the star symbol stops flashing the storage is finished automatically after the fixed storage time.
This example can be inversed. That means, if a storage shall be carried out when the value falls below 150 bar (the measuring value p1),
the trigger operator just needs to be adjusted to „smaller“ <.
With key the storage can be interrupted any time.
35
11.4 Trigger type „EDGE“
With key the trigger type „EDGE“ is selected.
* * * * * TRIGGER * * * * *
trigger: EDGE
trigg. chann.: p1
trig. operator: >> << (adjustment of edge in rising/falling)
value (bar): 100
pretrigger: 80%
ENT-> confirm
A measurable variable needs to be defined as a trigger variable, in the example this is pressure p1. In this case, the trigger operator is adjusted
to „rising“ >>. That means, the value of 100 bar, entered afterwards, must be exceeded as a rising edge to start the trigger, what means that the
trigger is started by an edge. To apply this triggering the other way around, the trigger operator must be adjusted to „falling“ << and the storage
will be started when the measuring value falls below 100 bar. The following should be considered for the trigger type „EDGE“:
Example of a edge triggering
bar 200 Condition: Trigger value (100 bar - 5% = 95 bar)
150 95 bar
start of memory
100
pretrigger 80 % 20%
-50
t (s)
trigger edge
trigger chann. p1
trigg. operator >>
value (bar) 100
pretrigger 80%
With a rising edge, the trigger channel, in the example p1 = 100 bar, must have a measuring value 5% lower than the trigger value (100 bar -
5% = 95 bar). The next exceeding of the trigger value of 100 bar will start the trigger.
When a falling edge is adjusted, (trigger operator <<) the procedure works exactly vice versa. First of all the measuring value must be 5%
higher than the trigger value (100 bar). The next measuring value below 100 bar will then start trigger. This hysteresis of 5% was introduced
to avoid an unwanted storage, caused by measuring values near the trigger value, e.g. when A/D converter deviates by 1 bit.
36
11.5 Display and function of the pretrigger for internal and manual triggering
When triggering internally (VALUE, FLANK) the trigger point depends on the adjustment of the threshold value (here: >150 bar). When the
measuring signal falls below/exceeds the threshold value, a storage is started automatically and according to the pretrigger adjustment a certain
percentage of history will be stored.

To obtain a stored data file, that really fulfils your requirements regarding the storage before and after the triggering, it is necessary to consider a
few conditions for the manual and the internal triggering:
The trigger must not be activated unless instrument has had the opportunity to store the corresponding measuring values
before.
Please note: Your pre-trigger adjustment can be changed in 1% steps from 0% to 100%
In the examples mentioned-below, the different effects of the pretrigger are explained in more detail.
Examples of a storage of 20 s with pretrigger adjustment 20% and threshold value adjustment 150 bar and its effect on the
measuring value storage.
The following parameters were adjusted: storage time 20 s, pretrigger 20 %, time base 100 ms,
input of the trigger threshold value: > 150 bar (examples on the left) or <150 bar (examples on the right)
Ideal measuring value storage

Trigger event after 4 s,
Remaining storage time 16 s, Trigger point >150 bar Trigger point < 150 bar
all measuring values are acquired in a
storage time of 20 s.
Different effects of the storage when
adjusting the trigger point to >150 bar
or <150 bar. 4s 16 s 4s 16 s
Ideal storage with pretrigger from 4 s and remaining storage time of 16 s. The measuring
instrument had enough pretrigger time to store the time before the trigger.
Trigger event after 2 s,

Storage time 18 s Trigger point >150 bar Trigger point < 150 bar
2s 16 s 2s 16 s
Triggering already starts after 2 s (too early), that is why 50% of the time before the trigger are
not stored. In this case you only have to modify the pretrigger adjustment.
Trigger point >150 bar Trigger point < 150 bar
Trigger event immediately,

Storage time 16 s
0s 16 s 0s 16 s
Triggering starts immediately, the measuring instrument has no time (pretrigger time) to store
the time before the trigger.
38
The following examples demonstrate an improper storage of measuring values.
When measurements are stopped early, i.e. before the end of a complete measuring time or during the pretrigger phase already,
an interpretation or discussion of a measuring value display becomes impossible with regard to the adjusted memory- and
trigger parameters.
