Function
CONTECA® EASY ULTRA is an ultrasonic heat meter, especially
suited to measuring thermal energy consumption in residential
buildings; thanks to a double memory register, it can also meter
energy in both heating and cooling modes (option code 755810).
The device comprises an electronic calculator unit, an ultrasonic
ow meter and two temperature probes. The CONTECA® EASY
ULTRA meter is extremely simple to install and requires no special
maintenance.
The ow is measured using the two-way ultrasound technique, based
on the transit time method. As it has no moving parts, the device
is therefore not very susceptible to build-up issues and offers an
extremely low pressure drop.
The CONTECA® EASY ULTRA meter is equipped with an 8-digit LCD
display that can be switched on with a key. This display enables easy
reading of both energy consumption values and technical data, for
appliance operating status evaluation and data logging.
The CONTECA® EASY ULTRA meter is able to acquire up to 4
additional pulse inputs and two additional alarm-status digital inputs,
and is equipped for centralised teletransmission (max. 250 users) in
M-Bus protocol, on the RS-485 network. The device also supports
MODBUS RTU protocol.

N.B. The ow meter must be installed between two rectilinear sections, measuring 10 times the pipe diameter upstream and 3 times the pipe diameter downstream.

Guidelines for rst installation
It is good practice to install shut-off valves upstream and downstream from the meter in order to facilitate installation and maintenance, if
required.
A ltering device must be provided upstream of the ow rate meter in order to protect the meter.
With a diameter of 1/2” to 1 1/2”, this strainer is already inside the ow temperature pocket.
Installation procedure
• Install the hydraulic components (probe pocket and ow meter) in accordance with the guidelines provided in paragraph “Hydraulic installation
diagrams” on this page;
• After installation, wash the pipes and carry out a pressurised test;
• Check the saturation level of the strainers and, if necessary, clean them;
• After completing installation of the hydraulic parts, install the CONTECA®EASY ULTRA electronic unit: follow the instructions for electrical
connection on pages 5 and 6.
• Insert the temperature probes into the corresponding pockets in line with the ow direction: the ow probe (red label) must be installed on the
ow pipe, while the return probe (blue label) should be on the return pipe.
• At the end of the installation process the main heat meter components (electronics unit, temperature probes and volume meter) should undergo
lead sealing. Lead sealing must be performed by qualied technicians in accordance with the instructions on pages 9 and 10 (“Lead
sealing procedure”).

Hydraulic installation diagrams
The ow meter must be tted on the return pipe.
The hydraulic diagrams provided below show:
a) Flow meter positioning
The ow meter should preferably be installed in a horizontal position, with the axis of the turbine vertical , observing the ow direction as indicated
by the arrow on the body. The position of the ow meter, where possible, should result in a zero ow rate when there is no service.
b) Probe positioning
The temperature probes (by means of the pocket or sleeve according to the DN) must be positioned on the corresponding ow/return pipes. The
corresponding pipes are the pipes carrying the same ow rate when the ow has started.

The broken red line indicates the pressure drop at the permanent ow rate Qp (Dp=3,5 m w.g., for threaded connections only).

Maintenance work
Strainer cleaning
It is periodically necessary to clean the strainer on the ow pipe
designed to protect the volume meter.
By observing the instant ow rate and ow-return temperature
difference values (signicantly lower ow rate compared to the nominal
value and signicantly higher temperature difference), it is easy to nd
out whether the strainer is clogged and clean it.

Test Instructions
The 7507 series meter is equipped with a fast output test
device located inside the plastic container.
In order to access this, remove the seal and take out the
xing screws.
On the right-hand side of the back of the card (g. 1) there is
a key offering access to the technical manual.
An input pulse can be simulated by connecting pins 11 - 12 (g. 3).
The maximum input pulse frequency is 1 Hz.
After pressing the key on the back of the card, pressing
the key on the front allows you to scroll through the various
screens.
The energy increases according to the following equation:
DE= κ⋅DT⋅DV⋅0,2777698⋅10-3 [Wh]
The probes, which absolutely cannot be separated from the electronics circuit,
may be inserted in a thermostatic bath, observing the temperature range of
10–90 °C and taking account of a DT between 3–80 K

Operating specications
1) In order to protect against spurious measurements or undesired metering, the metering control software makes the processing of consumption
subordinate to a specic ow temperature value (FT).
The heating metering cycle is activated for FT > 22 °C (factory setting).
The cooling units cycle is activated for FT < 15 °C (factory setting, with optional accessory code 755810).
On request, the setpoint values can be changed by technical personnel.
2) The software governing metering moreover has consumption processing subordinate to a
minimum temperature difference in order to provide further protection against spurious measurements or minimum metering due to
temperature tolerances. At the time of factory setting, a dead band of 0,4 K (factory setting) is therefore dened.
3) The software governing metering also requires installation of the ow rate meter on the return pipe.
On request and further to the action of technical personnel, the conguration setpoint can be adapted in order to install the meter on the ow
pipe.
