PRODUCT AND TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 18 / 104 4168086c / 2025-03 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. Fig. 2: Light blockade procedure 1 Light source 2 Dirt particle 3 Photo detector Time Th re sh ol d va lu es Fig. 3: Signal lamp amplitudes Each signal peak signifies shadowing from a particle. The signal amplitude reflects the particle size. The particle size ranges are grouped via threshold values 2-5 µm, 5-15 µm, 15-25 µm, >25 µm and. >4 µm(c), >6 µm(c), >14 µm(c), >21 µm(c). EN 3.

PRODUCT AND TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 28 / 104 4168086c / 2025-03 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. EN 4. TRANSPORT / STORAGE 4168086c / 2025-03 29 / 104 4.

Installing, Connecting, Setting Up and Putting into Operation 9007199341387659 Before commissioning, connect the unit and the FCU hydraulically and electrically as described below. 5.1 Connecting / Disconnecting Supply Voltage 9007199343194251 The FCU has a 3-pin female connector for connection to the supply voltage. Connect supply voltage 1. Insert the 3-pin female connector, (for example, of the power supply unit) into the socket until you hear the notch click into place. Connect the other end to the voltage source. 2. If the FCU is supplied with voltage, the display shows HYDAC FCU 1### in running text. The firmware version is then displayed for two seconds. The internal sensors are checked after this. The display shows 2. SENS OK as well as the firmware of the sensors. The self-test is followed by a countdown on the display WAIT 99 … WAIT 0. 3. The FCU is now ready to carry out the measurement. 4. If T AMB and > 45C flashes on the display, the FCU is expe- riencing a safety shut down. For details, see .▶Sec. 9 "Finding / eliminating faults". Fig. 12: Connecting supply voltage As long as the pump is not running and no fluid is being delivered, the status LED flashes red and the display shows CHECK. This means that there is no oil flow. Disconnect supply voltage 1. Press the notch on the connector. 2. Pull the connector upwards out of the port. Fig. 13: Disconnecting supply voltage EN 5. INSTALLING, CONNECTING, SETTING UP AND PUTTING INTO OPERATION 34 / 104 4168086c / 2025-03 5.2 Attaching / Removingthe Return Hose 9007199343230475 Attach the quick-release coupling of the return hose to the nipple. Make sure that you can feel the coupling engage on the nipple. Check that the quick-release coupling is firmly seated. Fig. 14: Attaching the return hose Ensure that the OUTLET connection is open.

INSTALLING, CONNECTING, SETTING UP AND PUTTING INTO OPERATION 4168086c / 2025-03 35 / 104 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. EN 5.
