Safety information

The meter is designed for circulating water of

heating systems (not for drinking water!).
Do not pick up by the electronic unit
Be careful of sharp edges (thread, flange,
measuring tube)
Installation and removal must be performed by
qualified personnel only
Mounting and unmounting are only permitted
when the system is not under pressure
After installation, a tightness test must be
conducted with cold pressure
Only ever use under service conditions,
otherwise dangers can arise and the warranty
may be voided
Breaking the security seal voids the warranty
The 110 V / 230 V versions must only be
connected by an electrician
The meter contains Lithium batteries, so it is
not allowed to dispose it wih the household
waste. Return of the Lithium batteries must be
carried out professionally. It is possible to
return the product after use for proper disposal
to the manunfacturer. Please follow the legal
regulations at the shipment of Lithium
batteries, which rules amongst others the
declaration and the packaging of hazardous
good.
Lightning protection cannot be ensured; this
must be provided by the building wiring
Only one compartment for the power supply
must be equipped do not remove the red
locking hatch

General information
The electronic unit is plugged onto an adapter plate
and can be separated by pushing the volume
measuring unit upward.
The packaging should be kept so that the meter can
be shipped in its original packing after the calibation
period has elapsed.
If the meter was not supplied with a battery
connected, the current date and time must be
entered during start-up (see Parameter setting).
The 110 V / 230 V power supply units comply with
safety class II, so the line voltage does not need to
be disconnected when changing the unit.
All cables must be laid at a minimum distance of
300 mm from power cables or radio-frequency
cables.

Ultraheat / Ultracold UH50

issue january 2011

As an ambient relative humidity < 93% at 25C is

allowed (without condensation).
By overpressure, cavitation must be avoided in the
entire measuring range, i.e. at least 1 bar at qp and
approx. 3 bar at qs (applies to approx. 80C).
The meter left the factory in perfect safe condition.
Calibration, maintenance, component replacement,
and repairs must only be performed by trained
personnel who are familiar with the hazards involved.
The manufacturer will provide further technical
support on request. meter safety marks that are
relevant for calibration must not be damaged or
removed! Otherwise the warranty and calibration
validity of the device will expire.

Installation
Choose the mounting location (return or flow) in
accordance with the labeling on the meter. Study the
table for the dimensions and check that there is
enough clearance.
No inlet or outlet sections are necessary. However, if
the meter is installed in the shared return of two
systems, the mounting location must be a sufficient
distance from the T element that forms the junction
(min. 10 DN) to allow the different water
temperatures to mix well.
Before the meter is installed, the system must be
rinsed thoroughly.
As shown in the examples on Page 2, mount the
volume measuring unit horizontally or vertically
between two shut-off valves in accordance with the
arrow for the direction of flow. The sensors must be
mounted in the same heating circuit as the volume
measuring unit. For installation as a cold meter, see
the following notes.
The sensor can be mounted in ball valves, in
pockets or direct immersed. The end of the sensors
must extend in any case as far as the center of the
pipe cross-section. Temperature sensors and screw
joints must be sealed for protection from tampering.

Mounting as a cold meter

When mounting a cold meter or combined
heat/cold meter, make sure the black cover on the
measuring tube is oriented to the side and downward
(because of water condensation). The immersion
sleeves should also be mounted to the side or
downwards.
The electronic unit must be separated from the
flowrate measuring tube and, for example, mounted
on the wall (split mounting). Make sure that
condensed water cannot run along the connected
pipes into the electronic unit (building a loop
downwards).

For water temperatures below 10C or above

90C, the electronic unit must be fixed on the wall
(split mounting). For this purpose, remove the
electronic unit from the adapter plate, unscrew the
adapter plate from the volume measuring unit, and
screw to the wall with plugs. Push the electronic unit
on again.
A meter with a removable control cable may be
separated during the installation. When installation is
done be sure that only paired parts (volume part,
calculator) are connected together and in correct
order.
The control cable must not be extended!

Electronic unit
The ambient temperature of the electronic unit must
not exceed 55C. Direct sunlight must be avoided.
For water temperatures between 10C and 90C,
the electronic unit can remain on the volume
measuring unit or be mounted on the wall (split
mounting). On the wall or on the volume measuring
unit, the adapter plate can be oriented to make it
easy to read the display. To remove the electronic
unit, push the housing upward and remove. The
adapter plate for wall mounting can now be
unscrewed or the electronic unit simply rotated and
pushed back into the required position until it latches.

Power supply
The meter can be powered either with a battery or
via power supply modules. The 110 V / 230 V power
supply modules are encapsulated and comply with
safety class II. The modules can be retrofitted or
upgraded at any time.
In the standard version, a battery is inserted in the
factory. This must not be opened. It must not come
into contact with water or be exposed to
temperatures exceeding 80C. Used batteries must
be disposed of at suitable waste disposal facilities.
In a special version, a power supply module can be
installed. In the 110 V AC and 230 V AC versions, a
cable is brought out in the factory that must be
connected to the line voltage accordingly. The
24 V AC/DC version has terminals instead of a
cable.
The 110 V or 230 V power supply unit must be fuseprotected with 6 A near to the meter and protected
from tampering.

Installation and Service Instructions

Page 3 / 8

Locking hatch

Plug connector

Insert the battery

Press the four side tabs of the housing cover inward
and remove the cover. Then turn the label plate
counterclockwise until you feel it has gone as far as
it will go.
Swing open the red locking hatch to expose the
relevant battery compartment (left compartment for
2x AA or C, right compartment for D).
Insert the battery into the relevant compartment of
the electronic unit with the correct polarity as
marked.
Turn the label plate back clockwise into its original
position.
Note: AA and C size batteries are snapped into a
holder.
In case of a meter's return via airfright the battery
("C" and "D" cell) has to be generally dismounted
and forwarded separately from the meter.
Mounting the power supply module
Instead of the battery, a power supply module
(110 V / 230 V with connected cable, 24 V with
terminals) can also be installed. This is done by
moving the red locking hatch to the left to open the
right-hand compartment for the power supply
module. Remove the right-hand outside rubber
sleeve upward, pull out the plugs and thread the
connecting cable (line voltage) of the module through
the sleeve. Insert the module in the upper right-hand
corner of the electronic unit and re-insert the sleeve
with the cable from above. Connect the conductors
as labeled. Plug the other connecting cable (low
voltage) onto the plug connector on the circuit board.
Note: For the 24 V AC/DC version, cable with a
diameter greater than 5.0...6.0 mm should not be
used!
The 110 V / 230 V versions must only be
connected by an electrician!
When replacing a unit after the calibration period has
elapsed, swing out the power supply module with the
cable and sleeve, mount the new meter, and reinsert the module. Because it complies with safety
class II, the line power supply does not have to be
disconnected.

Interfaces of the electronic unit

The UH50 meters are equipped with an optical
interface per EN 62056-21:2002 as standard.
Moreover, up to two of the following communication
modules can be used for remote reading:

Ultraheat / Ultracold UH50

Pulse module (pulses for quantity of energy /

volume / unit status / tariff register 1 / tariff
register 2; isolated, bounce-free)
CL module (passive 20 mA current loop per EN
62056-21:2002)
