Activating the Test Mode with the Control Button
The
Test Mode
(TEST) can be activated by the button (or through the optical interface with the programme HEAT3-SERVICE)
In this case, the water volume simulation feature is not available Therefore, the
Test Mode
does not interfere with the normal
Operating Mode
(measured energy and volume are summed up at the operation mode registers)
The activation of the
Test Mode
requires the following:
By pressing and holding the button, select the INF page on the display;
By short presses of the button, select “tESt On Wh” on the display (to activate energy pulses output through the optical
interface) or “tESt On m³” (to activate volume pulse output through the optical interface);
Press and hold the button, the security password entry window will turn on:
By pressing and holding the button*, activate the
Test Mode
(the indication “TEST” will appear at the top of the display)
OTEE:
N
* The activation of the
Test Mode
by the button is additionally protected by a password After pressing and
holding the button, a four-digit password input window and the flashing first digit will appear first of all:
PS: 0_ _ _ _
INF
The first digit is selected by shortly pressing the button The second digit position is caused to flash by pressing and holding
the button, then the second digit is selected In this way, all the four digit of the password are entered If the input is correct,
the indication PASS will appear for a short time after setting the fourth digit and pressing and holding the button, and the
meter will switch to the
Test Mode
If the input is incorrect, the indication FAIL will appear for a short time and the meter will
return to the operation mode The activation procedure will have to be repeated from the beginning The preset password
value: 0001
Activating the Test/Service Mode with the Control Button and the Jumper
By short-circuiting the contacts SERVICE (by breaking the partition at the back side of the electronic unit of the meter or by
removing the protective service seal if the partition was already broken before), the SERVICE mode will be activated and
the symbol “<->” will be displayed This mode allows changing the configuration parameters of the meter similarly to the
transport mode (see
"Changing the Meter Configuration" on page 12
)
In this case, the
Test Mode
(TEST) is activated through the optical interface (with the program HEAT3-SERVICE) or by pressing
the button:
• Press and release the button to select “tESt On Wh” on the display (to activate energy pulse output through the optical
interface) or “tESt On m3” (to activate volume pulses output through the optical interface);
• Press and hold the button to activate the
Test Mode
(the indication “TEST” will appear at the top of the display after 150s)
• The possibility of service configuration
The
Test Mode
"Activating the Test Mode with the Control Button"
will be activated (volume pulses output
will turn on) Also, the possibility to turn on flow simulation will be activated (to determine the energy measurement error
tolerance without using a real flow)
For determining the energy measurement error tolerance, automatic flow pulses simulation is designed: by pressing the
button and holding it for more than 5 seconds when the meter is in the
Test Mode
, flow measurement is terminated and
nominal flow pulse simulation is started (the indication “SF” periodically appears on the display) After 2 5 minutes, simulation
ends, the indication “SF” disappears, the accumulated readings of flow volume and energy can be taken and used for
determining the energy measurement error tolerance
Deactivation of the Test (and Service) mode
The Test (and Service) mode can be deactivated through the optical interface (with the programme HEAT3-SERVICE) or by the
press button:
• By short pressing of the button, select “tESt OFF” on the display;
• By pressing and holding the button, deactivate the
Test Mode
(the indication “TEST” will disappear on the display)
The Test (and Service) mode will also deactivate automatically 12 hours after its activation
