Operation genX The operation of the HYDROCAL 1011 P is particularly user-friendly: Operation via a large 7” colour TFT touchscreen display (800x480 pixels). • Animations integrated into the firmware menu explain the entire analysis, step by step, to make • operation as simple and user-friendly as possible and to avoid undetected errors Integrated WLAN interface •...
Safety instructions The following safety instructions must be strictly adhered to when using the instrument. Otherwise no warranty claims can be made. genX Note: Before using the HYDROCAL 1011 P, please read and follow the operating- and safety instructions. Never close the ventilation opening for the ambient air supply. This is located on the front panel of the device, see also [3.2.8].
Hardware components Device case 3.1.1 Opening genX To open the case, pull the locking levers on both sides of the HYDROCAL P upwards, Note: When the levers are snapped up, the case is vacuum compensated through the compensation openings behind the locking lever. After closing, the case is both water- and dust-proof. Note: A prerequisite for tightness is that the seals and their counterparts in the cover and on the locking levers are clean and undamaged.
3.1.2 Installation instructions genX Note: The HYDROCAL 1011 P must be placed straight and stable on a firm, non-slip surface. Place the device on a level surface. Alignment with a spirit level is not necessary. Possible deviations are detected by the integrated position sensor [3.1.2.1]. genX HYDROCAL 1011 P Operation Manual_R01...
3.1.2.1 Position sensor To ensure measuring accuracy and process reliability, as well as environmental protection, a position genX sensor is integrated to monitor the correct position of the HYDROCAL 1011 P. The position sensor detects the angle of inclination of the device and a deviation from the horizontal is shown in the display via the spirit level.
Operating devices – Connections – Oil sample injection After opening the two snap locks, the cover of the device can be moved upwards into the vertical position. Note: The device cover must be completely open during operation of the HYDROCAL genX 1011 P for sufficient ventilation.
3.2.5 SD card A 1 GB SD memory card is included in the delivery. The memory card is used to store measurement results and service data. genX Note: A memory card must be inserted in the HYDROCAL 1011 P before a measurement is taken.
3.2.6 Power supply genX The power supply of the HYDROCAL 1011 P is optionally via the mains input or via an auxiliary power supply. 3.2.6.1 Mains input / Fuse / On/Off switch Mains input: The mains connection cable [6.1] supplied is used for connection to the mains •...
FEED key The FEED key can be used to advance the paper. When the FEED key is pressed, initially only one line is advanced. If the FEED key is pressed for more than 2 seconds, the paper is advanced permanently. SELF-TEST The printer is checked for its internal functioning by starting a printout in the self-test mode.
Suitable paper: For suitable paper, please refer to the table in the section Scope of delivery [6.1]. Note: Other types of paper may cause faults to occur. 3.2.7.3 Cleaning the printer After large print runs (and depending on the paper quality and adverse environmental conditions), it may be necessary to clean the print head, sensor and drive roller, especially if certain areas no longer print properly.
Alternatively, you can use a print head cleaning pen or a cleaning card to clean the printhead bar. Printhead bar 3.2.8 Ventilation The ventilation opening serves as an inlet and outlet point for the compressor (gas/air mixture of the measuring cell). Ventilation Openings Note: The ventilation holes must always be kept free to ensure air/gas exchange.
Operation General notes about menu navigation To facilitate the operation of the device in the respective screens, the menu sequence is documented in this manual in the respective chapter headings. See example: 4.4.3 DGA Menu - Setup - Alarm Setup genX Switching on the HYDROCAL 1011 P / Start screen...
4.2.1.1.1 Field colouring of the control panels Light yellow coloured field: Menu currently selected. See also [4.2.1.2]. Dark coloured field: Menu selection possible. Greyed out field: Not selectable / not available. 4.2.1.2 Display fields – Start screen Device Display of the device type. Serial number: Display of the serial number of the device.
DGA menu In the DGA menu, oil analyses are carried out, results of the oil analysis currently being carried out are displayed and alarms are set. 4.3.1 DGA start screen initialisation / heating up genX When the HYDROCAL 1011 P is switched on, the device is automatically initialised, and the operating temperature of the measuring cell and extraction chamber is brought up to a temperature of 40°C.
4.3.2 DGA Menu - Setup The following settings are made in the setup of the DGA menu: Configure alarms (Perform DGA adjustment) Currently not possible Select oil type Measurement enable / disable 4.3.3 Enabling and disabling submenus To be able to make settings in a submenu, it is sometimes necessary to release the setting beforehand. The release, locking and selection of submenus explained below can thus be used in all submenus.
Page 22
The release procedure is described below. To carry out the release, press the Release field Then tap with your finger on the empty field. Now the password can be entered via the numeric keypad. The default password is 999. The password can be changed see [4.4.3.6].
Page 23
Then press the green “Enter” Button. Then press the confirmation field for the setup. The released menu field is shown in colour. In addition, the following symbol indicates the released setup. To lock the release again, press the lock symbol. Afterwards, the release is locked, and no more changes can be made in the selection menus.
4.3.4 DGA Menu - Setup - Alarm Setup Configuration of the alarms is carried out in the alarm setup. It is not necessary to unlock this menu. In the alarm setup, it is possible to save various transformer-specific threshold value data in a configuration and to get a quicker overview of possible breaches in result files later.
4.3.4.2 High-high alarm A high-high alarm is an extended high alarm with a second threshold (if a warning threshold is required first, for example) In the following image, you can see that the H alarm has been configured as a high-high alarm. This can be recognised by the fact that after accessing the alarm setup and selecting the measured variable (i.e.

Then the following menu opens, in which the value must be clicked on again. Afterwards, the setting menu opens. genX HYDROCAL 1011 P Operation Manual_R01 Page 24/136...
Page 27
Here, the threshold value is entered via the numeric keypad and then confirmed with the green “Enter” button. Note: The three greyed-out symbols are not selectable for this device type. The “Exit” button brings you back to the alarm setup. genX HYDROCAL 1011 P Operation Manual_R01...
The threshold value of H is now displayed. In the symbol of the gas, the spanner has now changed to two arrows arranged in a circle. This means that an alarm configuration has been carried out for the gas concerned, but it has not yet been saved. One after the other, the alarm for each gas can be set in this way.
Page 29
To save the alarm configuration just created, press the “Save” button. There are two possibilities to save the alarm configuration: 4.3.4.3.1 Alarms / Select a new file name After pressing the “Save” button, the alarm configuration can be saved as a new file as follows: To save the data set under a new name, tap on “--- NEW FILE ---”.
