Data download
Refer to appropriate section of the Hydrosteel 7000 manual for full details.
PLEASE NOTE: To down load data the Hydrosteel 7000 will have to be “ON”.
Active the bypass power by turning the external switch, located on the top of the battery (Reference
diagram on page 6 for location). The green LED will light to indicate that it is on. The Hydrosteel 7000 will
then come on ~ 10 seconds later as indicated by a green LED on the outside. It is now possible to download
the data as follows
Note: Refer to appropriate section of the Hydrosteel 7000 manual for full details.
1. Open and switch on the laptop.
2. Connect modem cable from PC coms port to Hydrosteel 7000 coms port. Make sure the instrument is
switched on. If the Laptop or PC does not have a dedicated coms port then the USB to RS232 coms port
adapter supplied with the Hydrosteel kit should be used. Follow the instructions with this item to load
the drivers and set up the operation.
3. Start the 7K PC software and select settings.
4. Select “Search for instrument”. The PC software will pole the existing com ports in ascending order to
find which port the Hydrosteel is attached to. Once the instrument has been found select OK to
continue. (If the instrument is not found by the PC software check the power and connections to the
HY7K and if necessary use another coms port).
5. Select “connect to instrument” A window will appear as the software attempts to communicate to the
Hydrosteel 7000. The top box will confirm the instrument status if the connection has been correctly
made. If the communication fails an error message will be displayed “error failed to get data”. See Fault
Finding , page 42 of the Hydrosteel 7000 manual.
6. To download the data press download button. There is an option to download data only from a specific
date. This might be the date of the last data download. A status bar will appear while the data
downloads if the memory is full (1year +) this will take some time.
7. Once the data has downloaded it will be displayed as graph and table.
8. Save the data as required
9. Once the data has been downloaded and saved, we recommend that the logged data is erased. (This
will minimise the data download time and prevent multiple files having the same data). From instrument
menu select “Set/Clock/Erase data” then select “Erase logged data”. Once erase is complete it will be
highlighted at the bottom of the window.
10. When finished close the software, turn off and close the laptop then disconnect the cable.
11. Return the timer to “AUTO” mode and re-fit the Exd barrier lid.
