Features:
The MW-MD range of Heat Meter Integrators uses the latest innovative technology to calculate heat usage from
heating and cooling systems. They are for use with mechanical flow parts. With its dynamic measuring cycle
even the smallest energy consumptions are reliably collected.
The large multifunction display permanently shows the heat consumption total, and by using the button is it
possible to scroll through the display to show all data.

General Information:
Initial verification
The MW-MD is produced and tested in compliance with the new European measuring instruments directive (MID). According to this
directive, devices do no longer carry an initial verification stamp, but rather the year of the device’s declaration of conformity
(recognizable on the front of the device, for example: M09). The MID controls the use of heat meters up to the moment they are placed
on the market resp. their first putting into use. After this, the national regulations for devices subject to legal verification apply within
the EU.
The duration of initial verification validity in Germany remains 5 years for heat meters. After this period has expired, the measuring
device may no longer be used for billing in commercial use. The regulations resp. validity period may vary in other countries of the EU.
Electro-magnetic interference
The MW-MD fulfils the national and international requirements for interference resistance. To avoid malfunctions due to other
interferences, do not install fluorescent lamps, switch cabinets or electric devices such as motors or pumps in the immediate vicinity of
the meter (minimum distance 1m). Cables leaving the meter should not be laid parallel to live cables (230V, minimum distance 0.2 m).
Care instructions
Clean plastic surfaces with a damp cloth only. Do not use any scouring or aggressive cleaning agents!
The device is maintenance-free during the service life. Repairs can only be made by the manufacturer.
Declaration of Conformity
Sontay Ltd declares that this product with the number of the EC type examination certificate DE-08-MI004-PTB012 complies with the
requirements of the EC directives 2004/22/EC (Measuring instruments directive) and 89/336/ EEC (electro-magnetic compatibility).
Safety instructions
The installation has to be done by qualified personnel. Read the instructions carefully right up to the end before starting to mount the
device.
The current laws and regulations have to be observed, especially EN 1434 part 1+6.
At devices with communication interfaces or mains supply the general technical rules and the correspondent regulations have to be
followed.
While demounting flow sensors and temperature sensors care should be taken to ensure that no heating water escapes from the pipe –
this can cause burns!
Close valves and release pressure before installation.
Take care of:
The display must readable at all times, to avoid malfunctions due to other interferences do not install fluorescent lamps, switch
cabinets or electric devices such as motors or pumps in the immediate vicinity of the meter (minimum distance 1 m).
All welding must be finished.
The ambient temperature must not exceed 55°C.
The type of temperature sensor must correspond with the calculator.
The pulse value of the flow sensor must correspond with the one from the calculator.
The calculator has 7 screwed cable glands for wires with a diameter between 4.2 and 10 mm. Keep unused glands closed.
Mind the connection order: temperature sensors first, flow sensor afterwards!
The MW-MD is delivered ready for operation. It does not need any settings or adjustment.

Installation (continued):
Installation heat calculator
Sontay recommends mounting the calculator on the wall. Do not mount the device at the pipe or attach it directly on the flow sensor.
The mounting adapter at the backside of the calculator can be used for DIN-rail mounting or “reverse” for wall mounting.
For wall mounting attach the adapter with at least two screws to the wall and clip the calculator on it.
For rail mounting lift the adapter a little bit, place the calculator on the rail and push the adapter back until it locks.
DIN-rail mounting Wall mounting
Connection sensors
The mounting of the temperature sensors should be done symmetrical with direct immersion. If immersion sleeves are used they have
to be checked for conformity to MID and have to be marked accordingly. The installation of immersion sleeves has to be done
according to DIN EN 1434-2.
The sensor cables are marked with colours (red = supply, blue = return). Do not buckle, extend or shorten the wire.
Do only use paired sensors with the same serial number on it.
Supply and return sensors must be inserted into the immersion sleeves completely.
Installation points in the flow sensor can be used for symmetrical installation of the temperature sensors.
Seal temperature sensor after installation to prevent unauthorized demounting (seals included).
Do not wrap or install wires along hot pipes.
Connection flow sensor
The total length of the wire between flow sensor and calculator should not exceed 10m. Mind the polarity at electronic flow sensors.
Operation test
Check the calculator for any error codes in the display after installation (see Page 5 for error codes). Most of the errors can be deleted
by pressing the button.
If the error appears permanently, it will be detected at the next measuring cycle and displayed again. Check whether the volume
information is updated and the displayed temperatures correspond to the present ones while the system is running (measuring cycle 2
minutes max.).
When attaching the top cover on the housing pulses on the inputs can possibly be generated. Check readings of the inputs and correct
if necessary.
Sealing
Seal the device with the included seals to prevent unauthorized opening.
Maintenance
Repairs or overhaul are only allowed by the manufacturer or companies authorized by the manufacturer.
Pocket Selection
When selecting pockets you should always try and install the pocket so that the tip is in the centre of the flow.
A good guide on what pocket length to select is;
45mm Pockets 105mm Pockets 140mm Pockets
Flow sensors DN15 to DN40mm DN50 to DN80mm DN100mm to DN200mm

Outputs:
Pulsed:
The pulse value of the outputs is permanently set and corresponds with the last position of the associated display value.
Example:
Output 1 = energy output
Energy display = XXXXX.XX MWh
Last position = 0.01 MWh = 10 kWh
Output pulse = 10 KWh
M-Bus:
The M-Bus interface complies with the norm EN 1434-3 and operates with 2400 baud fixed. It can be set to 300/6900 baud if
necessary.
Connections
Inputs:
Temperature sensors
Supply (hottest pipe) 1 & 2
Return (coolest pipe) 3 & 4
Flow sensor pulse 10 & 11 (GND)
If water meters with a potential free reed contact are connected to
the inputs the connection can be made in any direction.
Outputs:
Energy output pulse 52 & 53 (GND)
Volume output pulse 54 & 55 (GND)
Care must be taken when connection is made to a BMS.

The symbols in the table below show the meter’s operational status. The status messages only appear in the main display (energy)! The
temporary display of the warning triangle can be caused by special operating states and does not always mean that the device is
malfunctioning. However, should the symbol be displayed over a longer period of time you should contact Sontay.
