1 General
If you have any queries regarding technical details or the suitability of the instrument for your
application, please contact our Technical Sales department. HYDACLAB®sensors have been
individually calibrated on computer-aided test benches and subjected to a final test. They operate
perfectly when used according to the specifications (see chap. 10 "Technical Data").
However, if there is a cause for complaint, please contact HYDAC Service. Interference by anyone
other than HYDAC personnel will invalidate all warranty claims.
2 Safety Information
The Fluid Condition Sensor HYDACLAB® presents no safety concerns when operated in
accordance with this user manual. However, in order to avoid any risk to the operator or any damage
due to incorrect handling of the unit, please adhere strictly to the following safety instructions:
Before commissioning, check that the unit is in perfect condition.
Before commissioning, please read the operating instructions. Ensure that the unit is suitable
for your application.
During transportation, extra care must be taken to protect the unit from vibration and shock.
The HYDACLABmust not be put into service if any known technical defects are apparent.
The unit must be installed according to the instructions.
The information on the type code label must be noted.
After an oil change, RESET must be carried out.
The sensor should not be mounted in combination with old oil as all relative data changes
will thus become void.
Troubleshooting and repair work may only be carried out at the HYDAC Service department.
All relevant and generally recognised safety requirements must be adhered to.
If the instrument is not handled correctly, or if the operating instructions and specifications
are not adhered to, damage to property or personal injury can result.
3 Installation
The sensor can be installed directly in the hydraulic system via the threaded G ¾ connection.
Please ensure the sensor is not mounted into standing oil. It is recommended to fit the sensor in
inclined position, fitting angle ≥30°. Please avoid vertical fitting of the sensor with the sensor
element pointing downwards.
When fitting, ensure that the sensor is completely submerged in the fluid and that the fluid can
circulate freely through the sensor. The maximum circulation speed should not exceed 5 m/s.
For installation of the HYDACLAB, HYDAC
ELECTRONIC offers the appropriate mounting
accessories (see chap. 13.1, "Mechanical Accessories").
The electrical connection must be carried out by a
qualified electrician according to the relevant regulations
of the country concerned (VDE 0100 in Germany).
HYDACLABsensors are CE marked. A declaration of
conformity is available on request. The relevant EMC
standards EN 61000-6-1; EN 61000-6-2, EN 61000-6-3,
EN 6100-6-4 are met. However, the stipulations of those
standards are met only if the sensor's housing has been
correctly earthed by a qualified electrician. When fitted
into a hydraulic block, earthing the block via the hydraulic
system is sufficient.
Additional installation instructions which, from
experience, reduce the effect of electromagnetic
interference:
Make line connections as short as possible.
Use shielded cabling (e.g. LIYCY 5 x 0.5 mm²).
