  • Page 15: Chapter 1 Introduction

    The Hydro-View is a touch screen computer based upon the Microsoft Windows CE operating system that has been designed to work with the Hydronix range of sensors to provide a live display of on-line process measurements and enable quick and easy calibration and configuration of the sensors.

  • Page 16: About This Manual

    Intended Purpose The Hydro-View is intended to be used as a display, calibration and configuration interface for Hydronix sensors in an industrial environment where it should be installed by suitably qualified and competent personnel. Precautions This unit is suitable for indoor use only.
  • Page 17 Chapter 1 Introduction Ensure that only fuses of the correct type and rating are fitted. Ensure that the Hydro-View is mounted in an environment that will not cause electrical interference. Explanation of Symbols and Markings It is important to understand the meaning of the various symbols and markings on the Hydro- View equipment as follows: Caution –...

  • Page 18: Application Examples

    The Hydro-View may be used to configure and monitor Hydronix sensors in a variety of applications. It is possible to connect the Hydro-View to any of the current range of Hydronix digital sensors. The specific choice of sensor will depend upon the requirements of the application.

    Mechanical Installation Chapter 2 2 Mounting and Installation Panel Mounting The unit can be mounted in a control panel (maximum thickness 3mm) using the mounting bracket supplied. To fit the mounting bracket, locate the bracket holes over the four screws on the rear of the Hydro-View and drop into place.

  • Page 21: Operating Temperature

    Chapter 2 Mechanical Installation Mounting with Hydronix Enclosure If a suitable control panel or cabinet is not available, the Hydro-View may be mounted in the Hydro-View Wall Mounted Enclosure (part number 2010). The Hydro-View is fitted inside the enclosure as described in section 2.1. The cables supplied in the enclosure are connected to the Hydro-View and tightened in place with their locking screws.

  • Page 23: Chapter 3 Electrical Installation

    Chapter 3 Electrical Installation This chapter explains the configuration of the connectors on the Hydro-View unit and how the wiring should be designed and installed. These connections will vary depending on the configuration and integration requirements of the system design. The supplied RS485 Adapter should be plugged into the 9-way D plug on the bottom of the unit, and secured in place with the fixing screws.

    MIL-SPEC connector) Figure 7: Hydro-View Wiring Diagram (with Hydronix Enclosure) Using a suitable cable gland, connect a cable into the Hydro-View enclosure and wire to the four way terminal block in the bottom right hand corner as shown in Figure 7. The wires from the top of the terminal block are then wired into the Hydro-View as shown in Figure 8.

  • Page 25: Power Supply

    View, a more appropriate, higher powered supply must be specified. 3 Communications RS485 The RS485 connection is used for communicating with Hydronix moisture sensors. It is possible to update the material calibration, change operating parameters and carry out sensor diagnostics from the Hydro-View.

  • Page 26: Cables

    Electrical Installation Chapter 3 Ideally, sensors on a RS485 network should be connected in a daisy chain arrangement, as shown here: In practice, this arrangement is hard to achieve, so sensors may be wired using very short stubs: Although it may appear simpler, wiring in a star configuration with each sensor wired back to the Hydro-View should be avoided.

  • Page 27: Usb Port

    This accepts a standard USB memory stick of up to 4GBytes. A panel mounting USB socket with an extension cable is available from Hydronix (Part Number 0175) to provide easier access to the USB socket. This has a 1.5m cable and the panel mounted socket needs a 28mm diameter hole with a 3mm key cut-out.

    1 and 16. All new sensors shipped by Hydronix are set to address 16. For this reason it is recommended to connect sensors one at a time to the Hydro-View. When each sensor is connected its address should be changed, as described in Chapter 5 Section 6.1.

  • Page 30: Configuring The Overview Screen

    Detailed information regarding calibration and the calibration procedure is given in Chapter 6. 7 Upgrading the Hydro-View Firmware From time to time Hydronix will issue updates to the Hydro-View Firmware. These may add new features and functions to the product and are also designed to improve performance.

    Chapter 5 System Navigation 1 Screen Navigation The Hydro-View is a touch screen device. Navigation of the system is achieved by touching on the screen itself to activate relevant features. This must be done with a finger – tools such as pens and screwdrivers will not work and may damage the surface of the screen (unless supplied with the unit).
