Product Presentation
The CML4 measures and quanties the solid contaminants in hydraulic applications. The unit is designed to be an accurate
instrument for applications using mineral oil as the operating uid.
The unit can operate using any of the international standard formats ISO 4406, NAS 1638, AS 4059E&F Tables 1 and 2, ISO 11218, GBT
14039, GJB 420B, GOST 17216
The CML4 incorporates a connector for power as well as separate USB connections for connection to a personal computer for
remote monitoring; settings access; and direct download to a USB memory stick.
The integrated data logger records up to 4000 test results internally, for use where a computer cannot be permanently connected.
The instrument utilises the light extinction principle whereby a specially collimated precision LED light source is used to illuminate
the test media. This light is then captured via a photodiode module. When a particle passes through the beam it reduces the amount
of light received by the diode, and from this change in condition, the size of the particle can be deduced and subsequently counted.
Product features
Metering pump
The CML4 is equipped with a high-performance metering pump, which delivers an accurate and consistent ow. It is suitable for
both low and high viscosity liquids (≤ 400 cSt).
Moisture sensor
The CML4 measures water content using a capacitive RH (relative humidity) sensor. The result is expressed as percentage of
saturation. 100% RH corresponds to the point at which free water exists in the uid, i.e. the uid is no longer able to hold the water
in a dissolved solution. This is also normally the point at which signicant damage occurs in a hydraulic system, making RH% an
ideal measurement scale that is independent of the uid characteristics.
The water saturation point (100% RH) is temperature dependent, so the temperature is measured at the same time. This enables
results to be compared meaningfully.
The temperature measured is that of the uid passing through the unit.
Note: This may differ from that of the hydraulic system, depending on ow rate, pipe length and ambient temperature.
It is not intended to be an accurate indication of system temperature, but to provide a reference for the RH measurement at the
point of sample. Nevertheless, experience has shown the temperature measured is within a few degrees of that of the hydraulic
system, in most applications.

Data logger
The CML4 includes a built-in data logger, which adds the facility to log and timestamp test results in the internal memory, even
when not connected to a computer
• Each log entry is time-stamped and contains the CML4 serial number, so that it can be identied later
• The CML4 memory has space for around 4000 log entries. When full, the oldest log entry is overwritten
Data transfer via USB stick
All versions of the CML4 allow direct download to a USB data stick. With the CML4 powered ON, plug the USB data stick into the
USB connector on the side of the unit.
The USB data stick icon appears on the right-hand side of the screen when the data stick is plugged in. The arrow icon pointing
to the icon is visible when the CML4 tries to write the log le to the data stick. A successful download is denoted by a green tick
emblem. If the download fails, a red cross icon will appear. If this error is present, the data stick may need to be re-formatted
(formatting should be done to FAT32).
The icon will remain visible until the USB data stick is removed, at which point all the icons associated with the USB download
function disappear.
The USB data stick provided with the unit is pre-formatted for the transfer. Other USB data sticks may need to be re-formatted
(FAT32 or FAT32Ex lesystems, this is normal for le transfers between Windows systems and devices).
Optional Bluetooth printer
The CML4 can be used with an optional Bluetooth printer. Once connected, results will be printed as soon as the printer button is
pressed.

5.1.1 Physical procedure
Identify appropriate safe sample points and waste disposal routes.
Do NOT connect the waste hose to a pressurized system. This will cause the CML4 to malfunction
and could cause internal damage. There must be no extra restriction placed on the waste hose,
this must be vented to atmosphere.
NOTE
!
Do NOT connect the system at this point. See section 5.4 for a detailed walkthrough.
