1. General
This guide is intended for trained specialized personnel. For this reason, no basic working steps are included.
1.1 Operating conditions
Climatic conditions
The ambient temperature must be between 5…55 °C.
Temperatures > 35 °C have a positive effect on battery lifetime.
The meter tamper-evident seal must not be damaged! A damaged seal will result in
immediate invalidation of the factory warranty and verification or declaration of
conformity. The cables supplied with the meter must neither be shortened, extended
nor changed in any other way.
The regulations on the use of energy meters must be observed! The installation must
only be carried out by a specialist company. The personnel must be trained in the
installation and handling of electrical equipment.
Medium
Water according to AGFW-Worksheet FW510 (the lifecycle of the meter may be impaired
if not observed).
▪The temperature range depends on variant and nominal size.
The temperature conditions for the flow sensor and the temperature sensor depend on
the application and can be found on the printing of the meter.

2. Transport and storage
Unpacking
Energy meter are measuring devices and must be handled with care. To protect against damage and soiling,
they should only be unpacked immediately prior to installation.
Transport
The transport of the meter is permitted only in the original package.
Storage
▪The meter must only be stored in a dry location.
▪Typical storage temperature +5 °C ... 55 °C
▪Maximum storage temperature -20 °C ... 60 °C (max. 4 weeks)
▪Relative humid environment < 95 %
3. Assembly / Installation
When sending wireless measuring instruments / components by air, deactivate the
wireless before shipping.
The meter may only be installed in frost-free spaces. Be careful of sharp edges.
Assembly and disassembly only in depressurized system.
The meter is to be protected against damages due to impacts and vibrations.
Signal cables are to be installed far away from other power lines.

3.1 Preparatory work
▪Rinse the conduit thoroughly.
▪Close the stop valves upstream and downstream of the meter and depressurize the pipeline.
3.2 Installation of flow sensor
3.2.1 Flow metering section location in a pipeline
Flow metering section may be installed vertically, horizontally or at any arbitrary angle.
Flow metering section must be turned 45° and more degrees. Vertical installation or installation with the turn
angle less than 45° is not allowed.
When choosing the installation location, make sure that the meter is perfectly accessible
for service and operating personnel. It is recommended that shut-off valves are fitted
before and after the meter to simplify removing the meter.
It is recommended to install a dirt trap in front of the flow sensor or at another suitable
position of the circulation.
No inlet or outlet path is necessary for the installation of a flow sensor.

3.2.2 Requirements of straight-line sections
Flow metering section DN15…50 does not require to have straight sections before and after of flow sensor.
Installation at the highest point of the system is
not allowed.
Installation after the valve at a distance shorter
than 5D without straight sections prohibited (fully
opened full-bore ball valve excluded).
Installation after the pump at a distance shorter than 5D is not allowed
3.3 Temperature sensor installation
For heat/cooling measurement the meter use two RTD.
One of the temperature sensors T1 always mounted into flow meter pipe, another T2 mounted into pipe directly
via an installation pocket.

3.3.1 Mounting RTD
1–temperature sensor; 2–Temperature sensor holder; 3–Sealing ring
For DN15…40 T1 pre-installed into flow sensor pipe (see figure):
T2 should be installed in specialized fittings for DN15…25 with a thread for connecting RTD. Installation
into such fittings does not require additional sealing.

RTD can also be installed in a tee. To do this, use a special adapter (pos.3), which is directly screwed into the
RTD holder (pos.2).
3

For DN greater than 50 installations of both RTD is carried out by means of a protective sleeve (pos.3), fig.
below
If temperature sensor t1 has to be installed separately (not inside flow metering section), orifice in the flow
metering section must be plugged with a blind plug from the delivery set of the meter.
1–blind plug; 2–sealing ring

4. Communication
4.1 M-Bus wired
Here it concerns a serial interface for communication with external devices
(M-Bus control centers),
▪Standardized according to EN 13757-3
▪Galvanic isolation
▪Polarity reversal protection
▪Power consumption: One M-Bus load
▪Primary or secondary addressing
▪Baud rate 300 or 2400 baud (automatic baud rate detection)
▪Protocol: M-Bus
A 2 pin M-Bus line lead out of the housing. Connect the M-Bus line with the marked
connections of the M-Bus Master.

6. Maintenance
7. Disposal
This device must not be disposed together with the domestic waste.
Return it to the manufacturer for recycling.
Flow sensor and temperature sensor may not be disconnected from the integrator.
After repair work, perform recalibration in an accredited testing agency.
Information concerning reconditioning or maintenance can be found in the processing
concept (this will be made available for laboratories and testing agencies upon request).
The meter contains a lithium battery, which is not rechargeable. Do not use force to open
the battery. It must never come into contact with water, short-circuited or exposed to
temperatures over 75 °C.
Empty batteries and no longer required electronic devices or components are hazardous
waste.
