(refer to the Data Logger Manual). 2 Basic programming of HydrINS 2 / HydrINS 2 Mini flow meters HydrINS 2 / HydrINS 2 Mini flow meters are programmed using Winfluid software. Winfluid also performs data reading and report functions.
To configure the data logger, select the data logger in the Winfluid parameters (select the data logger from the HYDREKA range if a data logger is used or Computer to program the flow meter and the display), and then click the Programming tab.
Programming of data logging with Winfluid 2.1.2 Sensor Tab Figure 3: Overview of the sensor tab In the Sensor field, select HydrINS II for the HydrINS 2 or Mini HydrINS for the HydrINS 2 Mini Click Properties to display the probe programming window.
The General tab lets you enter the following information: Internal diameter: inside diameter (mm) of the pipe in which the probe is installed (ID value measured in the HydrINS 2 / HydrINS 2 Mini flow meter installation manual). Probe position: Centre or 1/8 diameter.
HydrINS 2 / HydrINS 2 Mini flow meter Page 10/77 Programming of data logging with Winfluid 4-20 mA output: If a Display C is used and the output is 4-20 mA, this field must be set to Enabled. The window also displays a Maximum permissible flow. This maximum allowable flow rate is the flow rate to be observed to prevent any physical damage to the probe.
Confirm the programming by clicking OK and return to the Winfluid home screen. 2.2 Transmission of the programming There are two ways to transmit the programming to the HydrINS 2 / HydrINS 2 Mini flow meter. Connect the computer directly to the flow meter or to Display A or C, if used.
Page 12/77 Programming of data logging with Winfluid Connect your computer to the HydrINS 2 or HydrINS 2 Mini flow meter (or to Display A or C) using a cable CC_HYDA3 or CC_HYDA3S.
