Installation guide SonoMeter 40
Errors are encoded by a 4-digit code.
Code Description
Status of calculator 0 - normal operation
1 - battery service life has expired (or the meter was not power supplied –
if it is externally power supplied)
2 - temperature differential is higher than permissible limits
4 - temperature differential is lower than permissible limits
8 - electronic unit hardware failure *
Status of the return heat carri-
er temperature sensor (T2)
0 - normal operation
4 - the sensor is short-circuited *
8 - the sensor is disconnected or short-circuited *
Status of the supply heat car-
rier temperature sensor (T1)
0 - normal operation
4 - the sensor is short-circuited *
8 - the sensor is disconnected or short-circuited *
Status of flow sensor 0 - normal operation
1 – no signal; the flow sensor is not filled with water
2 – reverse flow
4 – the flow is greater than 1.2∙qs(indicated q=1.2∙qs)
8 – hardware failure *
* - only in case of these serious errors will be stopped the summation of energy and normal working time, the
error code will be displayed on the LCD first page, additionally the error date will be displayed.
Error codes sum up if there are more than one error. Then the summary indicated error code will be as
follows:
• 3 – corresponds to error codes 2 + 1
• 5 – corresponds to error codes 4 + 1
• 7 – corresponds to error codes 4 + 2 + 1
• 9 – corresponds to error codes 8 + 1
• A – corresponds to error codes 8 + 2
• B – corresponds to error codes 8 + 2 + 1
• C – corresponds to error codes 8 + 4
• D – corresponds to error codes 8 + 4 + 1
• E – corresponds to error codes 8 + 4 + 2
• F – corresponds to error codes 8 + 4 + 2 + 1
If at least one digit value of an error code is ≥8, the summing-up of energy, water quantity, and trouble-free
operation time is stopped.
In case of the flow sensor error 4, the time“when the flow q> 1.2∙qs”is recorded additionally.
