mentation.
EN
7. OPERATION
64 / 104 4168086c / 2025-03
Compatibility with other USB sticks cannot be guaranteed as the FCU communicates
directly with the microprocessor. This means that transmission errors are not inter-
cepted by software, as they would be with a PC with an operating system.
HYDAC does not accept any liability for the functionality and compatibility of the USB
stick with your system. This shall not give rise to support or compensation.
We recommend using the HYDAC USB stick, which has been success-
fully tested by us on numerous PC/operating system combinations.
The data carrier must have ≥ 10 MB free memory.
No measurement logs are recorded during the copy process.

3.2 Counting dirt particles visually (light blockade procedure)
9007199340745483
The following sketch shows a simplified version of the measurement principle for the
light blocking process.
The light source sends monochromatic light through the oil flow to the photodetector,
which generates a particular electrical signal. If a particle gets between the light source
and the photodetector, a shadow appears on the photodetector.
These shadows change the electrical signal generated by the photodetector. These
changes make it possible to determine the size of the shadow created by the particle,
and therefore determine the size of the particle.
Using this method, it is possible to determine the cleanliness class according to
ISO 4406, NAS 1638 and SAE AS 4059.
The disruptive factors of this measurement principle are foreign fluids and gas bubbles,
which cause light refraction and thus count as particles.

3.8 Function
9007199340781323
A continuous oil flow is established from the measuring point (either a pressure port or a
tank or sampling bottle) by the INLET connection of an electrically controlled gear pump
(16). The suction strainer (17) protects the pump from coarse dirt.
The oil flows through an optical contamination sensor (6). The dirt particles in the oil
flow cause pulsed shading of the light beam, which is classified and counted as meas-
urement signals in the contamination sensor. The evaluation module continuously
displays cleanliness classes using the measurement signals from the optical sensor in
relation to a measurement volume of 100 ml. The counter-balance valve (7) generates a
defined pressure in the oil flow. This serves to minimise the air bubbles in the system,
which would falsify the measurement result. The pressure relief valve (5) protects the
pump and measuring cell from excessive pressure. The oil flows out of the connection
(9) OUTLET and is fed through the return hose into an unpressurised reservoir.
Fig. 9: Hydraulic diagram
The electronic evaluation module monitors:
● The function of the contamination sensor
● The oil flow rate
● The function of the AquaSensor
In the event of a fault, the status display indicates an error. As soon as the fault has
been corrected, the evaluation module automatically resets itself and continues the
measurement.

5.3 Connecting the equipotential bond
9007199347137291
Connect the equipotential bond conductor when
operating with diesel.
The permitted types of diesel have a low conduc-
tivity. This can lead to a static charge when flowing
through pipes or hoses, which can become a
source of ignition for explosive mixtures if the elec-
trostatic discharge is uncontrolled.
The flow rate through the FCU is so low that the
fluid cannot normally become statically charged.
However, it is not possible to rule out that statically
charged fluid will be sucked out of the system,
which then discharges electrostatically in an uncon-
trolled manner when it exits the FCU. This can lead
to the formation of sparks, which become a source
of ignition for any potentially explosive mixtures
present.
Fig. 16: Connecting the equipotential
bond
The FCU has a safety shut-down which shuts down the pump if the ambient temper-
ature exceeds > 45°C. This temperature is measured inside the case wall. If the safety
shut-down is active, T AMB and > 45C flashes on the display. For details, see ▶Sec. 9
"Finding / eliminating faults".
 WARNING
Statically charged fluid
Risk of explosion
u Connect the FCU with the plant, system, tank or container, etc. via the
potential equalization line during measurement / operation.
u Use the hoses or suction pipe included in the scope of delivery to
measure fluids.
u Return the measured fluid to an open, well-ventilated container below
the fluid level.
5.4 Selecting the measuring point
9007199343234827
Select the measuring point so that the measuring volume comes from a turbulent, well-
flowing environment. For example: at a pipe bend (A). This ensures that a represent-
ative sample is analysed.
By installing the FCU close to the measuring point (B), you avoid delayed measurement
results and sedimentation (deposits of particles in the line).
When installing the inlet hose INLET, make sure that no siphon effect (C) is created.

7.1.3 Displaying Measured Variables
9007199344723979
The measured variables provide information about the degree of cleanliness, water
saturation and temperature of the hydraulic system under investigation. The measured
variables ISO, SAE and NAS are calibrated and provide a measured value with an
accuracy of ± ½ ISO code within the calibrated range.
Measured variable – ISO
The measured variable is updated depending on the set meas-
uring time. It is displayed as a 3-digit ISO code. Example: ISO
code 20.18.15
Measured variable – SAE
The measured variable is updated depending on the set meas-
uring time. It is displayed as a channel of the SAE class.
Example: SAE class A = 13.4
Measured variable – NAS
The measured variable is updated depending on the set meas-
uring time. It is displayed as a channel of the NAS class.
Example: NAS class, channel 15-25 = 13.2
Measured variable – Water Saturation
The integrated AquaSensor continuously measures the satu-
ration. The measured value is shown on the display as water
saturation of the fluid in % saturation. Example: 19.3% water
saturation
Measurement variable – Temperature
The integrated AquaSensor continuously measures the fluid
temperature. The value as Celsius °C or Fahrenheit °F can be
set under TP.UNIT. Example: Temperature = 37.8 °C

7.1.5 Freezing the Display – FREEZE
9007199346932363The FREEZE function allows you to call up the last 20 display values shown on the
display. The active display is frozen in the set MTIME cycle.
The function is based on a volatile memory and means that the values can only be
called up as long as the sensor is supplied with voltage and the sensor is in the display
FREEZE.
The measured values are numbered automatically, with the highest counter repre-
senting the most recently measured value. This means that when the memory is full (=
20 measured values), the value 20 is the most recent and the value 1 is the oldest.
If the memory exceeds the number of 20 display values, the oldest entry is overwritten.
Starting FREEZE
To activate or deactivate the history memory FREEZE, press the two arrow buttons
simultaneously. The FREEZE function starts with the display of the last measured
value.

7.4.1 Measuring from unpressurised containers
9007199343561227
Pre-fill the FCU to receive immediate and valid results. To do this, aspirate ≈ 120°ml of
fluid through the entrance hose to completely fill the hydraulic circuit and entrance hose.
If the FCU is not pre-filled, an air and oil mixture flows through the FCU prior to the
measurement. The sensor interprets this air and oil mixture as a contamination, leading
to falsified measurement results.
For initial sampling without pre-filling the FCU and hoses, you will need ≥ 300 ml of
fluid.
To measure permitted oil or diesel from non-pressure containers, proceed as follows:
Required hoses: ● Return hose
● Suction pipe (A) or suction hose(B) and hose
adapter
