The 

HYDROCAL-M4

 is a compact thermal energy meter that measures the energy consumption of 

heating and cooling systems.
The meter allows to measure the thermal energy passing into a hydraulic circuit used for heating 
and\or for cooling, it also lets the acquisition through external module, of the volume measured by 
up to 2 device (water, heat, gas, electricity, HCA) equipped with pulse emitter. The meter can also 
be connected to a consumption reading network based on the wired 

M-BUS

, Wireless 

M-BUS

 and 

LoraWan

 network protocols.

The product must be stored in a dry place at temperatures between -20 °C and +70 °C (even during 
transport). The duration of the storage should not exceed 1 year.
Combined heating or cooling meters are precision devices and must be protected from shock and 
vibration.
