The Sontex Supercal 531 allows energy display in different units, including kWh and MWh. The readout settings can be adjusted using the service software Prog531 via the optical interface. To change the readout from kWh to MWh, follow these steps:

1. Connect the Supercal 531 to the service software Prog531 using the optical interface.
2. Access the configuration settings.
3. Locate the energy display unit option.
4. Change the unit from kWh to MWh.
5. Save the changes and remove the jumper if necessary to return to measuring mode.

This process ensures the display shows energy measurements in MWh instead of kWh.

Mr. Anderson
February 10, 2025

You can access previous meter readings on the Sontex Supercal 531 by viewing the recorded error messages and historical data stored in the device. The meter stores the last 10 recorded errors, including their error codes and timestamps. You can navigate through this data using the control key on the device. Additionally, readings such as operating hours, days without flow, and days without energy measurement can be accessed through the display menu.

  • Page 6: Introduction

    1. Introduction 1.1 Brief description This Supercal 531 convinces by using state-of-the-art multi-functional technologies and by its modular concept. It can easily be adapted to our customer‘s requirements such as e.g. simplified system integration, tariff functions, data logger functions, universal data transfer or connection to existing process sys- tems.

  • Page 7: Concept Of The Heat Meter

    Please pay attention to where the flow sensor is installed („cold side“ or „warm side“) since the conversion from flowing volume into flowing mass is carried out on the basis of the temperature assigned to the place of installation. Manual Integrator Supercal 531 06-06-2011...

  • Page 8: Temperature Sensor

    If a length of more than 3 m is required, we recommend using shielded cables of the same length. The approval for the integrator Supercal 531 allows the use of two-wire temperature sensors up to a length of maximum 15 m and of four-wire sensors up to a max. cable length of 50 m.

  • Page 9: 4-Wire-Cable Sensor

    50 m. The connection cable must have four wires. The wire cross section should be at least 0.5 mm2. The insulation of the temperature sensor cable should be of PVC or silicone. Sontex recommends the use of silicone as insulator.

  • Page 10: Installation Guideline Of Temperature Sensor Acc. To En1434

    The connection cables of replaceable and conformity-approved temperature sensors installed in the supply and return pipe may be of a maximum length of 15 m; the cables must be of the same length. The cable cross section must be in line with EN 1434-2. Manual Integrator Supercal 531 06-06-2011...

  • Page 11: Installation Guidelines

    The installation guidelines acc. to EN 1434-2 and EN 1434-6 have to be followed strictly. Please note that the heat meter will only provide the requested precision and reliability if the local regula- tions for electric installations and the guidelines given by the manufacturer are followed.

    3. The Integrator Supercal 531 3.1 The modular concept The integrator Supercal 531 consists of: Measuring- and calibration-relevant upper part Base part Thanks to the modular concept of the integrator storing costs can be kept very low and replace- ment of the meter after expiry of the validity of the calibration is simple and reasonably-priced.

    3.3 Flow measurement Type-approved flow sensors with a pulse or frequency output can be connected to the integrator Supercal 531. The integrator has the following input pulse factors: Up to 99'999’999 pulses/litre Up to 99'999’999 litre/pulse Manual Integrator Supercal 531 06-06-2011...

  • Page 15: Calculation Of Flow

    The measuring range approved acc. to MID is from 2 ° C to 200 ° C. There’s no homologation below 2 ° C according to the current applicable standards. By default, the integrator Supercal 531 is designed for temperature sensors Pt500. On request, Sontex can parameterise the integrator ex works for operation with Pt100. The connection of the temperature sensors is possible in two-wire and four-wire technology.

    Thereafter, they are sealed and thus protected against unauthorized manipulation. If these calibration-relevant seals are damaged or removed, all warranty claims / service warranty claims as well as the calibration of the integrator are void. Manual Integrator Supercal 531 06-06-2011...

  • Page 18: Possible Parameterisations

    3.8 Possible parameterisations The Supercal 531 is parameterised with the software Prog531 over the optical interface or the ex factory M-Bus module. Each integrator is manufactured after order and parameterised in the fac- tory in accordance with the customer’s specifications.

  • Page 19: Data Storage

    4. Data Storage 4.1 Data storage over EEPROM The Supercal 531 has two non-volatile EEPROMs for storing data. The data are updated every hour in the non-volatile EEPROM of the upper part of the Integrator (MET). Thus, the data backup is kept even in case of power supply failure. All data are updated and stored automatically.

  • Page 20: Data Storage With Backup-Batteries In The Mains Modules

    By default, each mains module is supplied with a backup-battery which guarantees the current supply in case of a power failure. If a power failure occurs, the Supercal 531 is operated automati- cally in a battery-saving mode to ensure the continuity of the metrological functions.
  • Page 21 In backup-battery mode, the following functions of the Supercal 531 are still active: Temperature and flow measurement, energy calculation Tariff- and alarm functions Inputs A1 and A2 Outputs B1 and B2 Optical interface In battery-saving mode, all communication options are deactivated. The measuring cycle is re- duced to 30 seconds.

  • Page 22: Operational Concept

    5. Operational Concept When designing the Supercal 531, main importance was placed on the user-friendliness. Thus, the integrator features an extremely large and clearly structured LCD-display. It has only two operator buttons to display the measuring data and for the menu navigation thus adding to the user- friendliness.

    Pressing enter key and control key simultaneously, you go one level up in the menu tree. Regardless in which menu you are in the Supercal 531: after 3 minutes the integrator re- turns automatically to the first display of the main menu.

  • Page 25: The Communication Concept

    Data “ (point 11.), as from page 66. 6.1 Standard configuration By default, the Supercal 531 features an optical interface, a pulse input (terminal 10 and 11), two additional pulse inputs (A1 and A2) and two open-collector outputs (B1 and B2).

  • Page 26: Pulse Input For Volume Measurement

    If the time > 40 seconds or if X > 138 ms, a new wake up is sent. 6.1.2 Pulse input for volume measurement The Supercal 531 allows the connection of slow and fast flow sensors. To this end, two specific filters have been integrated (normal- or fast mode) which can be selected over the software Prog531.
