MULTICAL® 603
5.5 Connection of other flow sensors
Other passive flow sensors with either reed switch or transistor
output can be connected to MULTICAL® via the terminal numbers
in the table. Be aware of correct mounting of + and - of flow
sensors with transistor outputs.

5.6 Connection of power supply
5.6.1 Battery supply
MULTICAL® can be delivered battery-supplied with a number of various batteries. Optimal battery
lifetime is obtained by keeping the battery temperature below 30 °C, e.g. by wall mounting. The
voltage of a lithium battery is almost constant throughout the lifetime of the battery (approx. 3.65
VDC). Therefore, it is not possible to determine the remaining capacity of the battery by measuring
the voltage. However, the information code of the meter indicates if the battery level is low, see
the paragraph “Information code”. The battery cannot and must not be charged and must not be
short-circuited. Used batteries must be handed in for approved destruction, e.g. at Kamstrup A/S.
Further details appear from document on handling and disposal of lithium batteries (5510-408).
5.6.2 Mains supply
MULTICAL® is available with supply modules for either 24 VAC* or 230 VAC.
The supply modules are protection class II and are connected via a two-wire cable (without earth)
through the big cable bush at the bottom of the connection base. Use connecting cable with an
outer diameter of 5-8 mm and ensure correct cable stripping as well as correct mounting of cable
relief. If connecting to 230 VAC, it is important to make sure that the whole installation complies
with current regulations. MULTICAL® can be delivered with 2 x 0.75 mm² supply cable. The supply
cable for the meter must never be protected by a fuse larger than the one permitted.
In case of doubt, it is recommended to take advice from an authorised electrician and get an
individual assessment of the execution of the installation in question. In addition, note that work
on fixed installations and any intervention in the fuse box, must be carried our by an authorized
electrician only.
For installation in Denmark: See “Installation of mains connected equipment for registration of
consumption” from the Danish National Safety Board.
* By use of a 24 VAC/VDC “high-power” supply module, MULTICAL® can also be supplied from 24
VDC.
5.7 Internal communication
According to type, MULTICAL® 603 has the possibility of internal M-Bus communication, M-Bus is
connected via the connection PCB using terminals 24 and 25.
