1 Safety
1.1 General Safety Advice and Warning Hints
• Never cut, damage or modify the connection cables of the power pack and do not
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.
• Unplug the mains cable 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 Hinweise zum Umgang mit dem MultiSystem
• 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.
• Do not use the instrument 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 malfunc-
tions 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 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 Hydrotechnik.
• Load only the battery while it is mounted in the instrument.
• Dispose used batteries as special waste. Cover the contacts with insulation tape.
1.5 Hints for the connection of printers
The measuring instrument supports printers with USB interface. Because of the great
variets of printers in the market, it is not possible to support all of them. Additionally,
the basic USB specifications are not fuliflled and maintained completely by all manu-
facturers.
This is why Hydrotechnik guarantees the full support of the printer "PIXMA iP 4200" of
Canon Inc., only. Please ask our customer service, whether your printer is supported.

3 Description of the measuring instrument
3.1 Qualities of the MultiSystem 5060
The MultiSystem 5060 is a practice-oriented, user-friendly hand-held measuring in-
strument supporting the user in the daily measuring functions.
When using ISDS sensors, the MultiSystem automatically detects the connected sen-
sors during initialisation and stores all parameters: measuring range, physical meas-
urand, measuring unit, signal output and characetristic curve (linearisation). A confu-
sion of the sensor and the entry of specific sensor data are things of the past.
You can connect sensors without ISDS designation to the MultiSystem 5060. The en-
try of the sensor parameters is then done in clear operation menus.
All measurements can be comfortably transferred to a PC using an USB cable. The
software HYDROcomsys/Win32 is delivered for free with the instrument and offers
comprehensive support with functions for the evaluation, presentation and printing of
the measured values.
You can connect up to eight sensors and store all measured values. Calculations from
the measured values as difference, sum and performance, and a first differentiation
(e.g. speed from distance) are available as additional special channels for display and
storage.
The buffering of extreme values of the minimum and maximum measurands is always
active and can be displayed by a few key pressures.

4 Startup
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 pos-
sible transportation damage (e.g. by taking photos and signing a written protocol), be-
fore you put the instrument into operation.
Hydrotechnik is not responsible for transportation damage and will take no liability.
4.2 Range of delivery
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 5060 3160-00-70.00

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 influ-
ence the battery performance negatively.
Note
The battery integrated in the measuring instrument will be charged, as soon as the
instrument is supplied by a Hydrotechnik power pack.
The instrument is equipped with an internal battery. This is pre-charged by Hydrotech-
nik and must be charged for at least 14 to 16 hours, before the instrument can be
used.
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 triggers the 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.
