1. Safety
1.1. General Safety and Warning Hints
• Never cut, damage or modify the power pack cables or place things on it.
• Never touch the power pack with wet or moist hands. Only connect the power pack to power
supplies for which it is suited (see technical data).
• Unplug the mains cable during a thunderstorm, or if you determine smoke or smell, or if the mains
cable is damaged.
• Assure sufficient grounding of your installations. Inadequate grounding may lead to measuring
peaks.
1.2. Hints for the Use of the Measuring Instrument
• Never expose the instrument to excessive heat or moisture; obtain the technical data.
• Do not store the instrument in humid or dusty locations or at temperatures below freezing point.
• Never dip the instrument into water or other liquids. Never let liquids come into the instrument.
• Never open the instrument and do not use it, after it fell down or the housing is damaged.
• Avoid strong magnetic fields. Keep distance of electric motors or other instruments that generate
electro-magnetic fields. Strong magnetic fields may cause malfunctions and influence measuring
values.
• Avoid the formation of condensed water. If condensed water has formated you should let the
instrument acclimate before you switch it on. Otherwise it could be damaged.
1.3. Hints for the Use of Sensors and Cables
• Protect the sensors from exceeding the allowed power range, mechnical overload and wrong pin
assignment.
• Assure to enter the sensor parameters correctly when using sensors without ISDS (Intelligent
Sensor Detection System).
• The measuring cables MK 01 and MKS may not be lengthened. Otherwise the shielding will be
interrupted.
• The data of an ISDS sensor are read into the measuring instrument during switch-on procedure. If
you connect new sensors, you will have to switch the instrument off and on.
1.4. Hints for the Use of rechargeable Batteries
• Keep batteries away from heat sources and open fire.
• Never dip batteries into water.
• Never short-circuit the contacts of batteries.
• Never dismount, repair or modify batteries.
• Use only batteries that are mounted or delivered by the manufacturer.
• Load only the battery while it is mounted in the instrument.
• Used batteries are special waste. Cover the contacts with insulation tape.

3. Description of the Measuring System
3.1. Qualities of the MultiSystem 4010
The MultiSystem 4010 is a practical, user-friendly hand-held measuring instrument for all daily
measuring duties. During start-up the device automatically detects connected ISDS sensors and uses
all parameters: measuring range, physical measurand, units, output signal and characteristic curve
(linearisation). A mix up of sensors or faulty entries are reliably avoided.
You may connect up to five sensors at a time and record their measured values. Five virtual channels
may be used for calculations, e.g. as difference, sum, performance or the first derivation (e.g. speed
calculated from distance). As an option you may use these channels to show measured values read
from a CAN bus. The recording of extreme values (the measured highest and lowest values) is
permanently active and can be displayed with one key pressure. You may also connect sensors
without ISDS to the MultiSystem 4010. Enter the sensor parameters in the channel menu manually.
It is possible to transfer all measuring series via an USB cord to a PC, or use the online mode to
display the values on a computer. The software HYDROcom is delivered free and provides extensive
software support with functions to evaluate, present and print measured values.

4. Start-up
4.1. Check Delivery
The measuring instrument is delivered by Hydrotechnik and transported by suited shipping
companies. At the time of delivery you should check:
• Does the number of delivered items corresponds with the Hydrotechnik delivery note?
• Is the packing free of visible damage?
• Are measuring instrument and accessories free of visible damage?
• Are there any indications of rough treatment during transportation (e.g. burn marks, scratches,
color)?
To maintain all demands against the shipping company you should document all possible
transportation damage (e.g. by taking photos and signing a written protocol), before you put the
instrument into operation.
Hydrotechnik is not responsible for transportation damage and will take no liability.
4.2. Lieferumfang
Carefully remove the transportation packing. Please obtain all rules and regulations for the disposal of
packing materials. After unpacking you should find the following parts:
• Measuring instrument MultiSystem 4010, 3160-00-75.00
• CD with software HYDROcom, 8874-16-00.01
• Power pack, 230 VAC / 24 VDC, 625 mAh, 8812-20-02.00
• USB data transmission cable, 8824-F8-01.50
Check the range of delivery in accordance to the delivery note and the order documents. Report
differences instantly to Hydrotechnik. Later claims on incomplete delivery cannot be accepted.
4.3. Charge Batteries
Attention
Battery performance endangered!
Charge the instrument batteries for 14 to 16 hours before you put the
instrument into operation. Otherwise there is the danger of excessive
discharge, which would influence the battery performance negatively.
The internal NiMH batteries of the instrument are charged when the device is connected to mains
power with a Hydrotechnik power pack. The batteries are slightly pre-charged and should be charged
for 14 to 16 hours before the instrument is put into operation. Empty batteries are indicated with a
flashing battery icon in red color.

MultiSystem 4010
Operating Instructions
© Hydrotechnik GmbH • All rights reserved
Rev. 1.7 / 2013-07-01 english Page 14 of 46
Hints for the treatment of the batteries
The life cycle of NiMH cells can be very long, but it depends on the conditions of use. Avoid a
complete discharge, continuous charging and immediate re-charging after every use. This causes the
so called “memory effect” with a minimization of the battery capacity and possible remanent damage.
You can regenerate the battery by several discharge and charge cycles.
In case of low battery power a hint "Load batteries" will be displayed. In this case you should maintain
a 16 hour charging time. In case of longer periods without use you should discharge and charge the
batteries monthly.
5. First Steps
