1Introduction
To allow you to familiarise yourself gradually with your flow meter, this manual begins with a
presentation of standard programming, and then builds up to advanced functionality.
You will need at least Winfluid 3.20 and a CC_HYDA3 or CC_HYDA3S cable to provide the connection
between the computer and the flow meter or between the computer and Display A or C if a Display is
used. If a standalone data logger is included in the acquisition system, you will also need a suitable
communication cable (refer to the Data Logger Manual).
2Basic programming of HydrINS 2 / HydrINS 2 Mini flow meters
HydrINS 2 / HydrINS 2 Mini flow meters are programmed using Winfluid software. Winfluid also
performs data reading and report functions.
Launch the Winfluid program from Windows. The home screen is displayed. Click Parameters to
access the Winfluid configuration module.
Figure 1: General configuration of Winfluid –situation of the Parameters menu on the home screen

HydrINS 2 / HydrINS 2 Mini flow meter
Programming of data logging with Winfluid
To configure the data logger, select the data logger in the Winfluid parameters (select the data
logger from the HYDREKA range if a data logger is used or Computer to program the flow meter and
the display), and then click the Programming tab.

2.1 Configuration of the digital channel of the HydrINS 2 probe
Double-click the digital channel on the Winfluid home screen to program the pulse input channel of
the HydrINS 2/HydrINS 2 Mini.
2.1.1 General Tab
Refer to the manual for your data logger

Figure 3: Overview of the sensor tab
In the Sensor field, select HydrINS II for the HydrINS 2 or Mini HydrINS for the HydrINS 2 Mini
Click Properties to display the probe programming window.

Figure 4: Programming window for the HydrINS 2 probe
Two programming modes are available: standard programming and advanced programming, to take
all internal parameters of the probe into account.
The current window displays standard programming. Advanced programming mode is accessed by
clicking the Advanced button.
2.1.2.1 General Tab
Figure 5: Overview of the HydrINS 2 probe programming window –General Tab
The General tab lets you enter the following information:
Internal diameter: inside diameter (mm) of the pipe in which the probe is installed (ID value
measured in the HydrINS 2 / HydrINS 2 Mini flow meter installation manual).
Probe position: Centre or 1/8th diameter. Position of the probe in the pipe. The 1/8 position is
the position for which the profile factor is equal to 1.
Pulse output type: Type of pulse output (digital channel).
oUnidirectional: Pulses when the flow is in the normal direction between Pins A and B
of the probe and pulses in the reverse direction between Pins A and H of the probe
oBi-directional: Pulses when the flow is in the normal direction and reverse between
Pins A and B of the probe. Direction contact between Pins A and H.
Pulse Factor: Volume corresponding to a pulse emitted on the frequency output of the
sensor.

4-20 mA output: If a Display C is used and the output is 4-20 mA, this field must be set to
Enabled.
The window also displays a Maximum permissible flow. This maximum allowable flow rate is the
flow rate to be observed to prevent any physical damage to the probe.
Figure 6: Overview of the HydrINS 2 probe programming window –General Tab –Maximum allowable flow rate to be
observed
WARNING: If you do not observe the Maximum Tolerated Flow Rate
displayed in red, you may cause serious damage to the probe.
