Page 17: Temperature Trend Graph
N.B. Emptying the Bottle only resets the volume of the Bottle it does not physically empty the Bottle! After resetting the volume, it is essential that all the effluent is removed from the Bottle to prevent overfilling. When the Hydrocell is running in Continuous Mode an option is provided to Pause the program if the Active Bottle has not emptied since it was last filled. -

For further information please contact Smart Storm. The Menu will time-out 15 minutes after no button is pressed to prevent the Hydrocell being left in a PAUSED state. -
Page 23: Choosing The Sample Size
Choosing the Sample Size. The Hydrocell is designed to fill the bottles to approximately 95% of their total volume and stop. Ideally the sample should be Flow Proportional i.e. more samples should be taken when the flow is high, and the bottle should fill over the entire time the Bottle is Active. Consider a Bottle which is Active for a period of 24 hours (e.g. -
Page 24: Reset Pump Tube
The Sample Time should be set to take the required Sample size. The required sample time is a function of the length and lift of the Intake Hose and can be set by a process of trial and error. Three Buttons are provided to calibrate the Sample Size: •... -
Page 25: Change Over Screen
• Timed (all versions) – A sample is taken after the specified number of minutes. This method does not give a Flow Proportional Composite Sample. Samples are taken even when there is no flow. • Sample Request (all versions) – The sample is initiated by Contact Closure. This would typically be achieved by connecting the inputs to the Common and Normally Open Outputs of a relay and setting the relay to trigger after a certain volume of effluent had been recorded on a Flow Meter. -
Page 26: Bottle Status
Bottle Status. Fig 6. HC 8 Change Over Screen. Fig 6.1 HC4 Change Over Screen. Each of the Bottles can be set to one of three states • ACTIVE – the bottle will be selected when the next sample is taken - shown as GREEN. -
Page 27: Programming Modes
• DISABLED – the bottle will never become the ACTIVE bottle and will be passed over when it is reached in the change-over times – shown as BLACK. This would generally be used if a bottle was missing or a previous sample was to be maintained. To change the status of a bottle, press the bottle and a RED SQUARE will appear around the bottle and around the STATUS BUTTONS (pressing the bottle again without pressing a STATUS BUTTON will deselect the bottle and the status will remain unchanged). - Page 28 Hydrocell 4-8 Toradex USER MANUAL v1.01 TEST page 27 of 38...
