It can receive data from a GPS to improve its accuracy. HYDRINS contains a self-consistent navigation algorithm based on Kalman Filtering. This structure enables HYDRINS to work either as a standalone system or to be connected to a GPS. HYDRINS is delivered with a powerful and easy-to-use Web-Based User Interface, which allows you to configure and operate your product.
If you observe any non-conformity or damage, please inform the carrier and iXBlue without delay by certified mail, describing in detail the problem encountered.
INSTALLING & CONNECTING HYDRINS Step 1 Place HYDRINS on the mounting plate. All inertial measurements are default performed with respect to HYDRINS reference frame (P) defined in the figure below, it is not located at the center of the unit. Reference Frame P Step 2 Fix HYDRINS onboard using four CHC M6 bolts.

Step 3 Connecting HYDRINS PC IP address is: 192.168.36.1 Via 41 pin connector (Not included) In case of DHCP network, refer to “Inertial Products-Network set-up guide” document. (Ref.: MU-INS&AHRS-AN-005) 2016-02/MU/HYDRINS/AN/001/Ed. C...
Type the following URL address: • Step 2 192.168.36.1xx The control page is displayed with the compass. xx is the two last numbers of the HYDRINS ²²²²²²²²²² serial number. For example: in the screen capture the two last numbers of the HYDRINS is 34 and the URL address is: 1 9 2 .
During this phase the position is initialized with valid position data received from the external sensor. If no position is available, HYDRINS uses the most recent position saved in the non-volatile memory of the system or a position entered manually. The coarse alignment phase lasts 5 minutes.

CONFIGURING THE MECHANICAL PARAMETERS Step 1 MANDATORY: Configuring HYDRINS orientation with respect to vehicle The orientation is used when the product axes orientation is different from vehicle axes orientation (displayed in red), with 90 degrees rotations of any of the product axis with respect to the vehicle axes.

GPS is available upon starting HYDRINS. Once saved by clicking on OK button, the entered position is used at next HYDRINS start after defining the Starting Mode as “Immediate Run”. As soon as you have clicked on the Restart button, HYDRINS starts its alignment phase with this input position.
TROUBLESHOOTING HYDRINS has a Built-In status and error Test (BIT) which raises alarms (through the color of the iXBlue Logo) and displays messages in the HYDRINS User Interface. If you encounter problems when installing or using HYDRINS, please refer to the following table.
