Introduction

The Midor instrument is designed for hydraulic balancing of heating and cooling systems. It allows measuring static

pressure, differential pressures and flow in the said systems. Using the differential pressure measured by the

measuring component in the system, Midor calculates the flow that runs through the component (balancing valve or

measuring orifice). The application corrects the calculated flow also for anti-freeze mixes in cooling systems.

The flow can be measured in all branches of the whole hydraulic system and the whole system can be balanced.

Midor Instrument Features

the core of the instrument consists of the pressure measuring unit that measures pressure in balancing components of

hydronic systems and sends the measured values to the Bluetooth Low Energy (hereinafter just BLE) technology in a

mobile device with the Android or iOS operating systems. The Midor measuring unit is very robust with a massive

heavy-duty frame that can withstand a fall from 2 meters. Inside the measuring unit, there is a hydraulic section with a

built-in symmetrical differential sensor for accurate digital processing of measured data. The Midor measuring

instrument is very accurate and this accuracy is based on:

• Very accurate measuring of the pressure with a fully differential pressure sensor and 24-bit data processing from the

pressure sensor.

• Possibility of resetting the differential pressure for pressure measuring of very low differential pressures. The resetting

of measuring is done at the hydraulic bypass of pressure inputs.

The Midor instrument uses advanced digital technologies that compensate inaccuracies usually occurring in pressure

measuring, such as temperature dependencies and measuring non-linearity.

Another feature of the Midor instrument consists in recording measurements. Data from measuring can be recorded

independently and directly in the pressure measuring unit. The measuring unit is equipped with a time circuit that allows

programming a periodical recording of measurement independently on the application in the mobile device. Once the

recording is complete, the measuring unit turns off and the record remains stored in the measuring unit until the

application reads it out. Another method of recording consists in recording of current values directly into the mobile

device.

Android Midor Application User Guide rev 1.2

Using the Bluetooth Low Energy transmission, the Midor application communicates with the measuring unit; a user-

friendly interface can be handled via the user mobile device. The application processes pressure values and allows

displaying the flows in the measured system based on features of balancing components stored in the mobile device’s

storage. The application stores in the mobile device’s storage balancing valves of most leading European producers. If,

incidentally, a valve in not contained in the application, you can enter the valve’s Kv and the application will calculate

the flow from this value.

You can handle the software by direct touching required fields, or you can use the menu in the upper section of the

screen.

The user software contains data of valves from many manufacturers, which makes the flow calculation on the required

valve easier.

Midor Application Installation

Find the Midor application in Google play and install it in your mobile device.

Main Application Display

On the home page of the application are buttons that directly navigate to the

different parts of the Midor application.

Application Setup

Press the Settings button in the introductory window where you can set up

the initial features of the application.

In the Measuring section, these are units for measuring the pressure, flow

and temperature. Further, you can turn on/off here the sound for the whole

Midor application.

Turn on/off the sound in the Midor application by pressing the Sound button.

In the Records section, you can enter Initial description, Initial record

location.

In the Projects section, you can enter Initial project name, Initial branch

name, Initial project file name.

In the Sensor preferences, the Bluetooth address of the pressure unit is

Android Midor Application User Guide rev 1.2

Stored after activating the Always use the selected device option in Measuring.

After the application installation is complete, this item remains empty. When

you will be measuring with the automatic connection of one unit without

searching and you will want to connect another pressure unit, you must delete

this field.

Once the Battery type is selected, enter the used AAA battery type in the

pressure unit. This setup is very important for the correct calculation a display

of the battery condition indication. You can find the battery type on the battery.

Almost all rechargeable batteries sized AAA are of the NiMH type. Well-known

and of high quality are Eneloop batteries from Panasonic.

Context Menu

If you will press icon on arbitrary application window, the menu related to relevant window appears. This menu is

called Context menu.

Instrument turn-on

Very Important! Warning!

When switched on, the instrument initialises itself. This take several seconds and the green light indicator on the

instrument is flashing quickly during the initialisation. Do not establish the Bluetooth connection with the measuring

instrument until this light indicator stops flashing and is on steadily. If the green light indicator fleshes with 1 second

period, there is an error in the BLE module initialisation. Try to switch off the instrument, wait for several seconds and

turn it on again.

Measuring

Once the Measuring button is selected, a window is displayed on the

introductory screen for searching and connecting with the measuring unit.

Authorisation of Location Services in the Android OS

Following changes in Google Play Services, Android OS now requires

authorisation of Location Services when using Bluetooth technology. This

can be turned on manually in the mobile phone settings under

Personal/Location.

Searching of Pressure Measuring Unit

the Midor application will search for and display available Midor devices. Select your Midor unit

from the displayed list using the last four digits of the serial number. This function occurs in many

other places in the Midor application. If you check the Always use the selected device option,

the Midor application will connect with this unit automatically and will not search for any other.

Once the Measuring button is pressed, the Measuring screen will appear straight away.

You can cancel the Always use the selected device from the Application Setup, the Sensor

Preferences/Always use Bluetooth Address option. Here, delete the Bluetooth address of your

pressure unit module.

Measuring Window

Based on the differential pressure sensed and the medium measured, i.e. its temperature, valve and

its preset, the application displays the differential pressure in measuring points of the attached fitting

and the flow through this fitting.

The status line in the screen’s bottom displays several important pieces of information:

1. The last four digits of the serial number of the pressure unit connected.

2. The percentage status of the battery of the pressure unit connected.

3. The validity of calibration of the pressure unit connected.

4. The firmware version number of the pressure unit connected.

Measuring Context Menu Tabs

Select Valve

You can select the required valve by pressing the

Select valve selection list.

After clicking on the blue Manufacturer line, the list of

valve manufacturers contained in the Midor instrument

database will open. Select the manufacturer required

by you. The database of valves in the instrument

contains valves from the world’s leading manufacturers;

when selecting the valve and its preset, the Kv values

provided by the manufacturer will be used for the flow

calculation. The Kv values are recalculated by the

mathematical function from manufacturers’ tables.

After clicking on the blue Select Type line, the list of
