• The HYDRIM C61w G4 must be properly grounded.
• The HYDRIM C61w G4 is equipped with an air gap / anti-suction device to prevent
backflow of dirty water into the water supply. No other air gap device is necessary.
Detailed installation instructions are available in a separate document. Installation should
only be undertaken by a manufacturer approved technician. The use of an unapproved
installer may invalidate the warranty. A separate pre-installation checklist should have been
supplied to the user by the dealer. Please review this prior to approving installation.
If the HYDRIM C61w G4 is installed in a sterilization center, the manufacturer of the
sterilization center should allow enough space at the top, back and both sides of
the unit to facilitate installation, leveling, and service access to the unit.
During installation, all consumables should have been added to the machine as appropriate.
It is important to check that this has been undertaken before starting the machine.

1 Introduction
1.8 Setting the water softener
The HYDRIM C61w G4 is equipped with
a built-in water softening system that must
be adjusted according to the local water
hardness. To read local water hardness,
proceed as follows:
1. The water test kit included with your
HYDRIM contains three water
hardness test strips in bags. Take a
water sample from the location where
the machine will be installed.
2. Open one of the bags, remove the
test strip and dip it into the water.
3. Compare the color of the strip with
the chart on the back of the bag
Determine the water hardness according
to the chart on the water test kit envelope.
Water hardness and salt regeneration levels
*
4. Power the unit on and select the
Settings key from the main menu.
5. Go to the Setup Menu, Cycle Settings,
and select “Set Regeneration”.
7. Using the up and down arrows, set the
water softener regeneration level
according to the water hardness table
in this section. If your water hardness
falls between two settings, select the
higher setting.
8. Unscrew the water softener container
lid from the bottom left of the chamber
and pour 0.5 litres of water into the
water softener container.
9. Add 0.5 kg of water softening salt to
the water softener container, using
>30.3 >31.6
>540
the supplied funnel to prevent any salt
from spilling into the chamber, and close
by screwing the lid tightly back into place. An improper seal can lead to corrosion.

*Please note: The water test strip is only accurate up to 250 ppm. If the reading on the test strip exceeds
250 ppm and/or if the location in which the HYDRIM is installed has known water quality problems, having
a more detailed and accurate water test done by a test lab is strongly recommended.
12
1 Introduction
IMPORTANT: The HYDRIM’s water softening system reduces the water hardness by
taking out Calcium Carbonate. If the water testing results show that the water hardness
is outside the unit's range of adjustment, or if other dissolved solids in the water cause
stains or deposits on the instruments or chamber, an external water treatment system may
be required.

The HYDRIM C61w G4 has a 10/100Base-T Ethernet port located at the back of the unit.
To connect your HYDRIM to a network using a router, follow these steps:
1. Connect your network cable to the Ethernet port at the back of the unit. If your office
uses a router, the router should automatically assign the unit an IP address. A red X on the
network icon means the unit is not connected. A yellow check mark means the unit has
an IP address but is not connected to the Internet and cannot send emails. A green check
mark means the Internet connection is set up properly and the unit can send out emails.
NOTE: In some circumstances, where you do not have a router, for example when using
Windows Network Sharing, you may have to assign a dedicated or ‘static’ IP address.
To assign a static IP address, contact your local network administrator.
2. From the main screen, press the Network icon. The Network screen displays information
about your HYDRIM’s connectivity, including its IP address.
18

2.4 Cleaning the chamber
The HYDRIM C61w G4 chamber can be cleaned using the “Cleaning” program in the User
menu. This cycle is used to periodically remove hardwater deposits from the chamber walls
and racks. Pour 0.5 litres of vinegar into the chamber before starting the cycle. From the
User menu, select “Cleaning” and a cleaning cycle, similar to a normal wash cycle, will run.
The user will be prompted to clean the chamber every 25 cycles. Reminder frequency can
be changed to 25, 50, or 100 cycles. To do this, enter the Technician menu.
2.5 Draining the unit for service or shipping
To drain the unit prior to shipping, or before tipping it onto its back for servicing, run the
“Prepare for Shipping” cycle. Once complete, drain any water remaining in the air gap using
the silicone tube located under the centre of the unit’s kickplate.
2.6 Upgrading the firmware
Instructional videos are availabel on http://updates.scican.com
Upgrading the Interface Software can be done from a USB drive, a MicroSD card or
a web site. The easiest and fastest method is to use a USB drive.
To upgrade the firmware using a USB drive, proceed as follows:
1. Download new firmware. The firmware will be made available on updates.scican.com or
emailed from SciCan upon request. It will be packed into a zip file (e.g. SL00R1XX.zip is
the name of the current revision file, but the number will change with every revision) and
must be extracted to a USB drive.
2. Check that you have the following files on the USB Drive:
• rmware.ini
• Firmware(Folder)
• SL00R100_4_100_CAA29608.sci
• cp.bat

3. With the unit powered OFF, insert the USB drive loaded with the firmware update.
4. Power ON the unit. The firmware will be updated automatically using the USB drive.
This should take approximately 6 minutes.
NOTE: The USB icon on the LCD touchscreen will flash green while it is active. Do not
remove the USB key while it is active.
5. When it is complete, the “Firmware.log” file on the USB drive will include the result of
the upgrade (file name, upgrade OK, or upgrade failed, and for what reason).
6. Whether the upgrade is successful or unsuccessful, the “firmware.ini” file on the
USB drive will be automatically deleted.
7. To retry or upgrade another unit, insert the USB drive into the PC’s USB port (NOTE
there is currently no Mac version) and double-click the “cp.bat” file in the Firmware
folder. Then remove the USB drive and repeat Steps 2 to 5.
2.7 Using the HYDRIM remote access function
Users can allow offsite technicians to remotely access the LCD touchscreens and web
portals of HYDRIM C61w units connected to a network. This can be done either from within
a network or from outside a network.
From within a network:
For local network remote access, the unit must be connected to a network. See Connecting
to a network in section 1.26 of this manual for more details. From the unit’s web portal,
proceed as follows:
From the TOOLS page, click on the LOCAL CONTROL tab.
Log in using the following credentials:
Username: scican
Password: s23can173
Click on the start button to start a local connection. It will open up a page that mirrors the
HYDRIM unit’s touchscreen so that it can be controlled remotely within a local network.
From outside a local network:
For remote access of a HYDRIM web portal or touchscreen from outside a local network,
proceed as follows:
1. Someone onsite with the unit or from within the network must provide access to an
outside user by generating a ‘token’ (or access code).
