1. Introduction
If you have any questions regarding the technical data or suitability of the product for your
applications, please contact our Technical Sales Dept. HYDACLab
individually calibrated on computerized testing stations and subjected to final testing and operate
perfectly when used according to the specifications (see Section 8. “Technical Data”).
If any problems should nevertheless, arise, please contact HYDAC Service. Unauthorized
interference with the equipment will invalidate all warranty claims.
2. Safety instructions
The Fluid Condition Sensor HYDACLab presents no safety concerns when operated in
accordance with this user manual. However, in order to avoid any risk to the operator or any
damage due to incorrect handling of the unit, please note the following safety instructions:
Before commissioning, check that the unit is in perfect condition.
Before commissioning, please read the operating instructions. Ensure that the unit is
suitable for your application.
During transportation, extra care must be taken to protect the unit from vibration and shock.
The HYDACLab
must not be put into service if any known defects, either electrical or
mechanical, are apparent.
The unit must be installed exactly according to the instructions.
Read the information on the type code label.
Fault investigation and repairs must only be carried out by our customer service department
HYDAC Service.
All relevant and generally recognised safety requirements must be adhered to.
If the unit is not handled correctly, or if the operating instructions and specifications are not
adhered to, damage to the product or to personal injury may result.
3. Installation
The sensor can be installed directly in the hydraulic system via the threaded connection. It is
recommended that the sensor is mounted vertically with the electrical connector pointing
downwards. When fitting, ensure that the sensor is completely submerged in the fluid and that the
fluid can circulate freely around the sensor.
HYDAC ELECTRONIC provides appropriate installation accessories for installing the HYDACLab
(see Section 11.1, Accessories, Mechanical).
The electrical connection must be carried out by a qualified electrician according to the relevant
regulations of the country concerned (VDE 0100 in Germany).
HYDACLab
Sensors carry the CE mark. A certificate of conformity will be provided on request.
EMC standards: EN 61000-6-1, EN 61000-6-2, EN 61000-6-3 and EN 61000-6-4 have all been
met. However, the stipulations of those standards will be met only if the sensor’s housing has been
correctly earthed by a qualified electrician. When fitted into a hydraulic block, it is sufficient if the
block is earthed via the hydraulic system.
Additional installation instructions that, from experience, reduce the effect of electromagnetic
interference are:
Keep line connections as short as possible.
Use screened wires, such as LIYCY 5 x 0.5 mm², only.
The cable screening must be fitted by qualified personnel subject to the ambient conditions and
with the aim of suppressing interference.
Keep the unit well away from the electrical supply of power equipment, as well as from
any electrical or electronic equipment causing interference.

4. Functions
HYDACLab sensors are compact, multi-functional sensors for determining the condition of fluids
online. Operators are kept informed of changes in fluid condition as they occur and can
immediately change the operating conditions accordingly.
Changes in fluid condition that might occur due to ageing or mixing with other fluids, for example,
are indicated by measuring temperature, relative humidity and relative changes in viscosity and
dielectric constant (also referred to as DC).
Those measurements are available as analogue signals and/or switching signals at the electrical
output of the HYDACLab
For information on further readout possibilities (e.g. modular connection to a PLC control), please

HYDAC agent.
4.1 Switching output (Standard Modification 000)
The NC switching output acts as a warning signal triggered by critical changes in the fluid
condition.
The switching output will switch whenever any of the following changes in measured values
occurs (the values stated are the standard factory settings):
Relative change in viscosity 10 % (temperature compensated)
Relative change in dielectric constant 15 % (temperature compensated)
Relative humidity 85 %
Temperature 80 °C
To activate the switching output the relative changes in viscosity and dielectric constant are
evaluated mathematically. It is therefore possible that the analogue values at the point of
switching will differ from the switching thresholds given above.
If, as a result of part-filling or re-filling the system, the values for the relative change in
viscosity return permanently to a window of 8 % or for the relative change in dielectric
constant to a window of 10 %, the switching output is deactivated again.

5. Sensor Startup
HYDACLab sensors start storing data as soon as they have been connected to the supply voltage
and fluid temperature has exceeded 25°C for the first time. The output signals for temperature and
relative humidity are available immediately following sensor startup. The output signals for relative
changes in viscosity and in dielectric constant are set to 12 mA during the referencing phase.
During the referencing phase (duration of data collection is around 100 hours in the valid operating
range), the HYDACLab
conditions in the given application. It is therefore essential that typical operating conditions,
particularly all relevant temperature ranges, are run through during the referencing phase.
Termination of the referencing phase will be evident from the signal level of the Status Signal 5
(see Point 4.2).
During the referencing phase, the operator must ensure therefore that the HYDACLab
supplied with voltage if the operating conditions in the machine/system are normal.
(For example the supply voltage of the sensor can be linked to the pump operation.)
The sensor should be reset if, after the machine/system is part-filled or re-filled, the analogue
values for the relative change in viscosity do not fall within a window of 3 % or for the relative
change in dielectric constant, within a window of 5 %. This can be caused partly by obvious
variations in oil characteristics in different oil batches.
6. Reset Function
With Reset, the entire contents of the memory including the referencing phase is deleted. The
sensor begins a new referencing phase once the voltage supply is re-connected and once the fluid
temperature of 25 °C is exceeded for the first time. All parameter settings remain unchanged in the
sensor.
A reset can be carried out in different ways:
6.1 Reset using Reset Adapter
For this you will need the HYDAC Reset Adapter ZBE 25, which can be ordered as an
accessory (see Section 11.2, Accessories, Electrical).
Please follow the instructions given below:
Disconnect the M12x1 connector on the HYDACLab
Fit the reset adaptor to the HYDACLab
Fit the M12x1 connector to the reset adapter
Wait approx. 10 s (the voltage supply must be on during the entire period)
Disconnect the reset adaptor

13.1.1 Reset sensor (Reset function)
In the sub-menu "Reset sensor", if you confirm with "OK", the sensor will be reset to its
initial state (see Section 6 "Reset function"). Any stored data, including the referencing
phase, will be completely deleted; the settings for the analogue or switching outputs are
retained. An error message will appear which can be ignored. If you press "Cancel" you
return to the main menu without resetting the sensor.
13.1.2 Output 1
This menu point branches out to a menu in which output 1 can be configured as a
switching or analogue output. In addition a link can be set up between the switching output
and the trend.
Analogue output
Here you can set the display variables, and the type of analogue output can be configured
as current output (4 .. 20mA) or voltage output (0 .. 10V).
In the "switch on point“ box, indicate the value at which the output will switch on when
the pre-set variable is exceeded.
In the "switch off point" box, indicate the value at which the output will switch off when
the pre-set variable is exceeded.
Use "switching direction“ to determine whether the output GND switches to the value of
the supply voltage U
(NO function) or it switches from the value of the supply voltage Ub
b
to GND (NC function).
By pressing "Ok" the changed data is saved in the sensor. By pressing "Cancel" the data
is discarded and you return to the previous menu.
Trend
A special feature is the link between the switching output and the trend. Here the switching
output switches when the pre-set variables are exceeded in either direction. The following
values are pre-set, but can be changed in the sub-menu "Trend":
- Temperature: Switch on point: >80°C Switch-off point: <80°C
- Viscosity: Switch on point: 10% Switch-off point: 8%
- Dielectric Constant: Switch on point: 15% Switch-off point: 10%
- Rel. humidity: Switch on point: >85% Switch-off point: <85%

Switching output
See description of the analogue output for output 1.
Sequence output
With analogue output 2 it is possible to output the variables for temperature, relative
change in viscosity, relative change in dielectric constant (DC), relative humidity and the
status of the sensor sequentially. For this, under the "Sequence" menu, output 2 is
configured as current or voltage output. Press the "Activate" button to activate or
deactivate the sequence output. Press the "Ok" button to save the changed data in the
sensor and then return to the main menu. Press the "Cancel" button to discard the entries
and return to the menu of analogue output 2 (for more detailed explanation of the readout
of sequential analogue output, see Section 4.2).
13.1.4 Restarting the System
Under this menu point, the sensor is forced to restart after every change in sensor
parameter. Only then will all the changed settings for analogue and switching outputs be
adopted.
The stored data including the referencing phase are retained during a system restart.
Press "Ok" to carry out a restart. Press "Cancel" to return to the main menu. The error
message which appears can be ignored. After approx. 2 seconds you can return to the
main menu after pressing "Cancel".

For hydraulic applications, we recommend that the sensor is fitted in a vertical position with the
electrical connector pointing downwards.
When installing the sensor, ensure that it is totally immersed in the fluid and that the fluid can
circulate freely through the sensor.
Ensure there is constant flow and prevent the formation of air bubbles. With standing oil,
variations in measurement may increase.

During the referencing phase, avoid mixing fluids and ageing fluids.
In the event of oil change or serious alteration in the ambient conditions, the unit should be
reset
When installing without the mounting block ZBM 21 or ZBM 23 make particularly sure
that the flow of fluid is not impaired by the installation. A minimum distance of 10 mm
must be maintained between the front end of the sensor head and the opposite
pipe/housing wall.
