Unpacking
Initial inspection should include checking for physical dam-
age during shipping and obvious external damage to the
product.
Package contents are defined by your packing list. Each
order is configured according to customer specifications. In
your inspection, make certain that the contents of your ship-
ment match the documentation provided by your packing
list. Place unit on a flat, smooth surface.
Installation and Equipment Setup
Electrical Connections
The HM-5320 and 5330 are equipped with an internal digital
switching power supply, which allows the units to be used
with most power configurations throughout the world. The
unit is supplied with an IEC electrical cord with a standard
110V plug.
The HM-5320 and 5330 arrive ready for operation. Attach
the supplied IEC electrical cord to the machine and plug into
a standard wall receptacle for use in the United States. For
locations other than the U.S., replace the supplied electrical
cord with an IEC cord that has the correct plug for your ap-
plication. The supplied cord can also be used by cutting the
standard plug from the cord and attaching the correct plug.
Power Switch
The Power Switch is located on the left side of the back of
the machine, above the electrical cord inlet. The Fuse Com-
partment is located between the electrical cord inlet and the
Power Switch. The HM-5320 and 5330 use a 10 amp fuse. To
begin operation, attach the supplied electrical cord, plug it
in and press the Power Switch.

Instrumentation Connections and Setup
HM-5320 and 5330 Rear Instrumentation Panel
Above is a photo of the rear instrumentation panel of
the HM-
5320 and 5330
.
Network (1)
Ethernet input for connecting machine to a local area net-
work (LAN) and/or the internet.
USB Power (2)
The USB Power port is used for powering a wireless access
appliance for those who want to use a wireless LAN setup.
Instrument Inputs (3)
The panel features four (4) inputs for connecting instrumentation to
the machine. Each input represents a separate channel. If you have
purchased instrumentation from Humboldt with your
HM-5320 or
5330
, it has been assigned to a specific channel and calibrated.
Instrumentation will have a numbered tag attached to it and should
be plugged into the corresponding input on the machine.

Once you have installed the instrumentation into the correct
inputs, your rear panel should look like this if you are using
all four inputs.
Below are photos of an instrumentation input and the in-
strumentation plug. Install the plugs into the inputs by lining
up the guide at the bottom of the plug with the slot at the
bottom of the input.
Instrumentation Input Instrumentation Plug
If you purchased multiple load cells and/or transducers with
your Data Logger, they will be calibrated to a specific chan-
nel, or in the case of more than four (4) load cells/transduc-
ers, calibrated and assigned to a specific input.
Additional load cells/transducers will be marked to indicate
what input channel was used in their calibration. These load
cells/transducers should be connected to the indicated chan-
nels when desired for use, however you will have to import
the correct calibration information to that input before use.
This information can be found on a USB thumbdrive that was

included with your machine. Refer to the Equipment Setup
section of this manual, page 25 for additional information
and instructions on how to accomplish this.
Third-party instrumentation, which is compatible, can also be
used with the HM-5320 or 5330. If you plan to use third-par-
ty load cells and/or transducers, please refer to the Equip-
ment Setup section of this manual, page 30 for instructions.
Remember, if you purchased Humboldt instrumentation
with your HM-5320 or 5330, it is already calibrated and
assigned to a channel and will not need calibration, how-
ever you should confirm that the instrumentation has been
set up and calibrated. If you are using 3rd-party instrumen-
tation, go to the Equipment Setup section for calibration
instructions.
When your HM-5320 or 5330 is first turned on, the screen below
will appear.
DO NOT RECALIBRATE!
From this screen, to confirm your machine instrumentation has
been calibrated, navigate to the Calibration section by clicking
the Menu icon in the top left corner of the screen (1). When you
click on this button, you will see a drop-down menu appear, see
below.

Navigate to the bottom of this drop-down menu and click
on System Settings (1). You will see the following screen.
Click on the Calibration tab in the top left corner (2). You will
see the following screen.

Calibration Input Screen
The Calibration Input Screen (above) is used to monitor and
calibrate instrumentation and assign them to specific chan-
nels of the HM-5320 or 5330. The Calibration Input Screen
provides a summary of the calibration status of each channel.
At this time, verify the calibration information.
A green box at the left of a channel indicates that the chan-
nel has instrumentation assigned to it and that it is calibrated
and ready for use (1).

Each channel has a “Limits On” check box (1). Use the Limits
On to keep the machine from exceeding the sensor limits
of the instrumentation. By selecting this option, before the
test can exceed the limits of the sensors, all tests will stop

The screen above shows a typical calibration setup. In this
example, the HM-5320 and 5330 have been set up for a
standard Consolidated Drained or Undrained Triaxial setup.
Input One has been set up for the load cell with a value of
running and the motor will stop to avoid damaging connect-
ed instrumentation.
Note: An input cannot be calibrated during testing.
Units (2)
In this field, a calibrated instrument will display the units
that were chosen for use at the time of calibration. This field
can also be used to automatically toggle conversion of units
between lb.-in. and SI units if the need arises.
Value (3)
This field displays the current calibration value. This value
should already be set with 3 decimal point accuracy . If the
instrument is not calibrated, the unit will read “N/A.” To
change the numbers of decimels shown, click on the field
and the following window will appear. Fill in the number of
decimal points desired (1).
