When mounting the water meter, you must ensure that the length of the meter thread will not prevent sufficient tightening of the sealing surface, and make sure that PN10 or PN16 connections are used. Kamstrup A/S recommends EPDM-gaskets for cold water installations and PTFE-gaskets for hot water installations. Kamstrup A/S supplies such gaskets.
Page 33
Installation conditions As mentioned above the use of new gaskets in original quality is of crucial importance. The sealing surface of the threaded connection must be clean and level ALWAYS use new gaskets. Kamstrup A/S •Technical Description • 5512-897_J1_GB • 06.2016...

In such cases, Kamstrup A/S recommends to install the meter by means of a special coupling with telescopic function.

Receiving the Wireless M-bus signal, emitted at intervals of 16 or 96 seconds, depending on the meter configuration • Reading via the optical eye, e.g. by means of Kamstrup A/S’ wireless optical reading head, or optical reading head with USB connector. 10.2 Volume measurement The meter calculates water flow currently according to a fixed measuring cycle.
These are sent via the Wireless M-Bus radio signal. The temperature values, can be combined, as described in section ‘Optional register in data logger’. See more about temperature reading accuracy in the section ‘Temperature measurements - water and ambient/meter’. Kamstrup A/S •Technical Description • 5512-897_J1_GB • 06.2016...

During periods of very low water consumption, the water temperature approaches the ambient temperature. During periods without water flow the weighted average cannot be calculated, and then a code 128 is stored, indicating that there is no consumption.

Info code – RADIO OFF (transport mode) This info code is active in the display when the water meter leaves Kamstrup A/S, and indicates, that the meter is still in ‘transport mode’ and that the built-in Wireless M-Bus radio transmitter has not yet been activated.
MULTICAL® 21 & flowIQ® 2101 /..02 /..03 As long as no adjustments have been made, both the ‘A’ and the digit are inactive, and Kamstrup A/S does not add further adjustment marking to the meter. After the first adjustment, ‘A’ activates, and the digit shows the number of adjustments (1 to 9).

When the meter switches to ‘verification mode’, the wireless M-Bus radio transmitter turns off. At the same time, a time-out starts. When the time-out period has expired the meter switches back to normal mode. The time-out period is 9 hours. Kamstrup A/S •Technical Description • 5512-897_J1_GB • 06.2016...
The meter is initially verified from the factory. A new factory adjustment requires disassembling of the meter and can only be carried out by Kamstrup A/S. When the meter has been locked it is only possible to make a percentage correction of the flow curve at three individual points. This is called re-adjustment.

Naturally, this number must be identical with the number (AX) in the meter’s display. Below, samples on: Re-verification label Label used at control testing (meters not approved for re-verification) Kamstrup A/S •Technical Description • 5512-897_J1_GB • 06.2016...
Flow sensor manufacturers have been working on alternative techniques to replace the mechanical principle. Research and development at Kamstrup has proven that ultrasonic measuring is the most viable solution. Based on microprocessor technology and piezo ceramics, ultrasonic measuring is not only accurate but also reliable.

To minimize the influence from variations of the velocity of sound in water, the latter is measured via absolute time measurements between the two transducers. These measurements are subsequently in the Kamstrup A/S •Technical Description • 5512-897_J1_GB • 06.2016...
The measurement is therefore a 'snapshot' of the current flow. This, like any type of digital sampling, integrates the measurements over time, leading to the calculation of the final volume. Flow [l/sec.) Time [seconds) Kamstrup A/S •Technical Description • 5512-897_J1_GB • 06.2016...
The meter has no functional limitations during the period, when the meter operates above this limit. Please note, however, that high flow velocities > Q (Max flow) involve the risk of cavitation, especially at low static pressures below 0.03 MPa (0.3 bar).
