INTRODUCTION
The MC4000 Handheld System Analyzer has inputs for two pressure sensors, one temperature sensor, one flow sensor
and one active pick-up for RPM measurements The MC4000 allows simultaneous connection of four sensors with the
measurements displayed in four individual LCD windows using preselected process units according to US or DIN norms The
display supports English and one of the following languages selected at the time of order Language choices include Spanish,
German, Italian and French
An internal rechargeable battery powers the MC4000 A green LED indicates a completely charged battery A fully charged
battery permits 4 hours of operation with two pressure sensors connected With the charger connected the battery charges
while also allowing use of the instrument An optional automobile style power cable is available for operation from a
car battery
When operated in the datalogger mode, the MC4000 stores data in an internal 2 5 MB memory space Each stored
measurement also contains the day, date and from the instruments real time clock
The MC4CON software utility transfers stored measurements via a USB data port to a Windows PC The MC4CON program
permits bi-directional communication not only for the downloading of recorded data to a PC but also for the uploading of
commands from the PC to the MC4000
All parameters can also be set using the buttons on the instrument’s front panel Pressure units are programmed in psi or bar
The flow and rpm measurements are scaled using programmable constants Additionally, three point flow calibration for the
turbine sensors are available When activated the pressure tare function allows offset adjustments and the sets the display to
zero at non-zero pressure inputs
Hydraulic horsepower is automatically calculated from the measured pressure and flow Horsepower displays as either HP or
kW depending on the selected units
