cancel or exit selected settings and menu items
.
The Ok key confirm inputs and activate menus or menu items (E
nter
function).
Navigate between individual menu items with UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT
You can also change parametric values.
Connecting sensors
MC4.0 offers sensor sockets for flow measurement as well as for humidity and
temperature measurement. The MiniAir20 and MiniWater20 series range sensors
are supported for flow measurement in air and water. These are complemented
by a combined humidity and temperature sensor.
- Connect the sensor connector to the socket in the device.
- The sensors should only be plugged in and out when the MC4.0 is switched off.
The MiniAir/Water20 sensors are detected automatically, the sensor type is
displayed in the Start menu.

Measure:
- There are two profiles to choose from for measurement tasks:
- Average: In the Average measurement profile, average, min. and max. values
of the recorded measuring variables are formed over defined or free time
intervals.
- Logger: Datalogger enables the recording of momentary values in start-stop
measurement with adjustable interval (time span between two recordings). At
least 1,000,000 data records can be logged (card memory with 4 GB).
Settings for measurements

Flow rate masurement - volume measurement to determine flow in ventilation
systems or pipes. This function must be adjusted manually. Informations of the pipe
shape and diameter are required.
Selection: Startmenu/Measurement/Menu/Flow rate measurement
- Define pipe shape: Round or rectangle.
- Permeable. or height/width,setting range 000-999mm.
Activate volume measurement
Volume measurement is factory-deactivated and must be manually activated
and/or adjusted in the dialog menu before starting a measurement task.
Profile Instant value
If the Logger and Average functions are not started, the actual value is shown.
Actual value: For ad-hoc measurements or rapid and overview measurements
under field condition
Data logger
Datalogger allows recording instantaneous values in start-stop measurement with
adjustable interval (time span between two recordings). It can be max. 1.000,000
records (card memory with 4GB).
Measures
Datalogger records all measurement variables for which a
- suitable sensor is plugged in
- optional channel is activated (volume measurement)
Conditions:
- Profile Logger enabled & logger interval set
Start/stop recording
- Logger Start. After starting the logger, the menu can be closed. The readings
will continue to be recorded until the data logger is terminated.
- To finish, press stop.
If the logger is not stopped manually, the recording is continuous until the
device is turned off or the battery is discharged. Log data is preserved in
this case.
Profile Average measurement
In the Interval Measurement profile, average, min and max values of the
measured variables are formed over defined or free-running time intervals. The
Save and Printing functions are available for processing and visualizing the values.
Prerequisites:
Connect flow measuring sensor (or additionally humidity/temperature sensor.
Activate profile - chapter Display of the measured values
Measured values, units and sensor detection are continuously displayed in the
display. At the interval, updated average, min, and max values are displayed. In
addition, a counter is displayed that counts the running interval time up to the
final value.
Defined interval measurement
The measurement over a defined period of time is the standard interval
measurement. It is used for series measurements with a constant time interval.
Select Menu in the toolbar, select averaging time and set the duration between 1
– 7200 s.
Processing Measuring Results
MC4.0 provides to possibilities for saved measuring results:
Display Data
Select Data: The .xml-files are saved in the internal storage sorted after measure
profile and date. (To find specific data select the wanted measure profile, year
and day.
Delete data/ measured values: Main menu / Select data / selected record
/ long press Ok or with touchscreen long click on the selected record to the file or
delete folders.
