1. General Information

 

Please note that the following installation conditions must be obeyed: 
Pressure Requirement: PN16/PS16. 
Environmental Class: E1, M1, A 
Installation  requirement:  There  must  be  a  distance  of  minimum  25  cm  between  signal 
cables and other installations 
If medium temperature is below 10

°

C or above 90

°

C in flow sensor, It

s recommended 

that the calculator be wall-mounted. 

Note: Seal or any safety marks on the meter must not be damaged or removed, and doing so 

will void the warranty and calibration of the meter.   

Key Information: 

Flow Sensor 

Registers the amount of district heating water in m³/h circulating 

through the heating system. 
Θ: 3°C~95°C 

Temperature Sensors 

Placed  in  forward  and  return  pipes  sense  the  cooling,  by  the 

difference between in flow and out flow temperatures. 
Θ: 0°C~105°C     

Calculator 

Calculates heat energy consumption based on flow volume and 

temperature loss of heating water. 
Θ: 3°C~95°C   

Θ: 4K~65K 

Electromagnetic environment 

E1 (housing/light industry). The meter’s control cables must be 
drawn at min. 25 cm distance to other installations. 

Mechanical environment 

M1 (fixed installation with minimum vibration). 

Climatic environment 

The  meter 

must 

be 

installed 

in 

environments 

with 

non-condensing  humidity  as  well  as  in  closed  locations 

(indoors). The ambient temperature must be within 5~55°C. 

Maintenance and repair 

The  district  heating  supplier  can  replace  temperature  sensor 

and  battery.  The  flow  sensor  must  not  be  separated  from  the 

calculator. 

B12 VI Series must be connected to a temperature sensor pair 

type Pt1000. 

Battery for replacement 

B12  VI  Series  can  be  fitted  with  ER18505  or  ER26500  with 

operating time of 6/11 years replaceable.
