    Installation • Type and concentration of glycol in the medium of those calculator types designed to be used with glycol can be set on location at any time using the Device Monitor software. Pictograms Installation Point of Calculator (in the information loops) On the right in the calculator display in all information loops, you will find one of the following two pictograms The pictogram indicates in which pipe the calculator is to be mounted Installation in outlet flow...
  • Page 5: Connecting The Components

    Installation Figure 2: Direct screw mounting 131 mm Connecting the Components OTE: First mount the temperature sensors and then connect the flow meter to the calculator This way unnecessary error messages can be avoided At delivery, the display shows H 05 until temperature sensors have been attached This message disappears as soon as temperature sensors have been connected and the first temperature measurement is carried out (every 15 minutes without flow) The calculator connections have been designed to meet the valid standard EN1434-2 All terminal strips have been labelled...

    Installation Figure 3: Clamp wires Mounting the Flow Meter The pulse output of the flow meter to be connected to the calculator must be identical to the calculator input pulse value Check the technical data of the flow meter and compare it to the specifications on the calculator •...
  • Page 7: Setup Of Pulse Value

    Operation Calculators with TX Version OTE: The pulse value will be set permanently after the first input pulses and cannot be changed afterwards Pay attention that the flow meter does not register a flow before the correct pulse value has been chosen (factory setting 1 l/pulse) Figure 6: TX Version calculator display Setup of Pulse Value If the pulse value has not yet been set, follow these steps:...
  • Page 8 Operation The optical infrared interface will be activated by automatically sending a header (according to EN 13757‐3) Baud rate: 2400 baud Then you can communicate with the calculator for 4 seconds After every valid communication the calculator is open for another 4 seconds Afterwards the display is deactivated The number of read‐outs per day via the optical interface is limited During daily read‐out at least 4 communications are possible If read‐outs are carried out more rarely, the possible number of communications will increase...
