DATA IN QALCOSONIC W1 METER CAN BE TRANSMITTED USING THE FOLLOWING PROTOCOLS:
•wMBus T1
•wMBus S1
•wMBus C1
•SIGFOX
•LORA WAN
•CoAP
All communication interfaces are intend-
ed for data reading and meter parametri-
sation. The meter is produced for being
powered only from the internal battery. In
order to save the battery, communication
credit system is implemented into the
meter. Time of communication through
additional interfaces is automatically lim-
ited to save the battery (up to 20 minutes
per month). Unused communication limit
is summed up. If the limit is expired, the
interface is blocked and the new time
limit of communications will start only af-
ter the change of the hour (16 seconds for
each next hour).
Optical interface is integrated in Qal-
cosonic W1 meter by default. It is intend-
ed for data reading, changing parameters
of meter and for outputting optical pulses
in the test (verification) mode. It is activat-
ed by sending 1 second pulse sequence (5
minutes after the end of communication
is automatically deactivated).
There is also NFC (Near Field Communi-
cation) interface integrated by default. It is
intended for data reading only.

3 OPERATING PRINCIPLE
WATER METER PERFORMS ALL NECESSARY MEASUREMENT AND DATA STORAGE FUNCTIONS.
BELOW ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT:
•High stability in measuring water volume and detection characteristics of overload
•Calculation of the maximum values and their storage in archive
•Storage of necessary data for reports on set day yearly and monthly
•Archive data storage time 36 months
•Detection of faults
•Displaying values of parameters (optional) and displaying info codes
•Verification and service functions
Flow measuring principle is based on
ultrasonic measurement method. Ultra-
sonic signal moves along the measuring
section many times and the flow down-
stream between the ultrasonic sensors
have to perform transmitter and receiver
functions. From the results of time dier-
ence the flow rate is calculated and indi-
cated in display.

It is recommended to select meter instal-
lation place as far as possible from po-
tential sources of vibration (for example,
pumps).
The gaskets must match with the pipe
diameter. During the installation, gasket
must be exactly centered with the center
of the pipe cross-section to avoid sticking
out gaskets inside the pipe.
5.4 CHECKING OF INSTALLATION AND PARAMETER SETTING
If meter is installed correctly, the display of the meter should display flow readings (when there is flow).
It is necessary to check whether the meter is installed in the correct direction or there is no air in the system.
