Handling information for the MultiControl 4070
•Never expose the instrument to excessive heat, cold, or humidity.
Technical data on page 22
•Do not store the instrument in a humid or dusty location.
•Never submerge the instrument into water or other liquids. Never let
liquids come into the instrument.
•Never open the instrument.
•Do not use the instrument if it has been dropped or if the casing is
damaged.
•Avoid strong magnetic fields. Keep the instrument away from electric
motors or other instruments which generate electromagnetic fields. Strong
magnetic fields may cause malfunctions and influence measurement
values.
•Prevent the formation of condensation. If condensation has formed, let the
instrument acclimate before you switch it on.
Information about the use of sensors and cables
•Protect the sensors from exceeding the allowed power range, mechanical
overload and incorrect pin assignment.
•Make sure you enter the sensor parameters correctly in the HYDROlink6
software when using sensors without an ISDS (Intelligent Sensor Detec-
tion System).
•When extending standard measuring cables, use the extension cables
provided for this purpose, otherwise the shielding will be interrupted.
•The data of ISDS sensors are read in when the measuring instrument is
switched on. If ISDS sensors are reconnected, the measuring instrument
must be switched off and on again for the sensor data to be adopted.
•Never connect an inductive load to the digital signal input.

Description of the measuring
instrument
This chapter provides information about the functionality of the measuring ins-
trument, its connections, LED status indicators and technical data, as well as
information about the software needed to operate the measuring instrument.
Properties of the MultiControl 4070
MultiControl 4070 is a practice-oriented, user-friendly, portable measuring
system that supports the user in the daily measuring functions.
When using sensors with ISDS (intelligent sensor detection),
MultiControl 4070 automatically identifies the connected sensors when it is
switched on and adopts all sensor parameters: measurement range, physical
measurand, unit of measurement, signal output and characteristic curve
(linearization).
You can also connect sensors without ISDS designation. In this case, enter the
sensor parameters manually in the HYDROlink6 software. The software is in-
cluded in the scope of delivery and is used to configure and control
MultiControl 4070. The software operating instructions can be found in the
download area of our website at www.hydrotechnik.com.
You can connect up to five sensors and store all measured values. Calculati-
ons from the measured values such as difference, sum and performance, as
well as the 1st derivation (e.g. speed from path) are available as additional
special channels for recording. The buffering of extreme minimum and maxi-
mum measurement values is always active and can be displayed in
HYDROcom6.
The measurement data can be transferred via USB, RS232 or Ethernet to a
PC/laptop or the local data network. HYDROcom6 software offers functions for
evaluating, presenting, and printing measurement data. It can be downloaded
free of charge from our website at www.hydrotechnik.com.

•Windows 8 or later
