    Does not transmit via radio batteries may be damaged or discharged 3. Functionality The HYDROCAL-M4 thermal energy meter is equipped with systems, in a thermal power plant or any other compatible dedicated sections for the measurement of thermal energy of a application.
  • Page 5: Commissioning

    5. Commissioning The first configuration chosen during installation (supply or return pipe) can’t be modified! Before a functional tests, the procedures indicated in this paragraph must be performed for completing the physical installation phases including the connections. The device is delivered in SLEEP mode. Based on the order, if the installation version and the unit of measurement are already configured, it is necessary to keep T2 button pressed for three seconds to initialize the device.
