14.2.2 Use of high-resolution pulses High-resolution energy and volume pulses can be connected to the test stand used for calibration of the meter, or to Kamstrup's Pulse Tester, type 66-99-279, as shown in the drawing below. 14.2.3 Auto-integration The purpose of auto-integration is to test the calculator’s accuracy. During auto-integration the water flow through the meter must be cut off to make it possible to read the volume and energy counted during auto-integration without the meter continuing normal counting in the registers afterwards.
14.2.1. It is important to allow for this time interval, which means that the test duration from start to stop must be so long that the update time does not influence the measuring uncertainty to any very considerable extent. Kamstrup A/S · Technical Description · 5512-1334_F1_GB_12.2016...
During test and verification the heat meter’s energy calculation is compared to the ”true energy”, which is calculated according to the formula of EN 1434-1:2007 or OIML R75:2002. For control calculations Kamstrup can supply an energy calculator: The true energy at the most frequently used verification points is indicated in the table below.
When the installation is completed, the icon ”METERTOOL HCW” will appear in the ‘All Programs’ menu under ‘Kamstrup METERTOOL HCW’ (or from the menu ”start” for Windows XP) and as a link on the desktop. Double-click on link or icon in order to start the program.
It is important to be familiar with the calculator’s functions before starting programming. The Kamstrup Software product “METERTOOL HCW” (66-99-724) is used for MULTICAL 302. Before running the program, connect your optical readout head to your computer and place the head in the plastic holder on the calculator.
