Test
MULTICAL
®
302 can be tested as a complete energy meter or as a hybrid meter determined by the available equipment.
The test as a complete energy meter can be carried out without disassembling the meter, except from the fact that the
”TEST” seal must be broken (see paragraph 14.1.1). The high-resolution test registers can be read from the display, via
serial data reading, or via high-resolution pulses.
Before test as a hybrid meter MULTICAL
®
302 must be disassembled and the sensor pair must be soldered off.
Subsequently, the calculator is tested separately by means of precision resistors and the meter's built-in "Auto-
integration". Flow sensor and temperature sensors are tested separately too. During test of the flow sensor it is
important that the temperature sensor, to be mounted in the flow sensor, is installed.
If ”energy verification” with separate temperature baths is used, it is important that the medium in the flow sensor and
the temperature bath, in which the temperature sensor mounted in the flow sensor is placed, have the same
temperature.
In order to obtain quick test/verification of MULTICAL
®
302, the meter has a test mode which repeats the measuring
sequence every four seconds, i.e. eight times faster than in normal mode or twice as fast as in fast mode. In test mode
heat energy, cooling energy and volume are displayed with a resolution which is higher than normal in order to enable
a shorter test duration.

302 uses more current in test mode, but under normal circumstances where the meter is in test mode a few
times during its lifetime, this is without importance for the meter's battery lifetime.
14.1
Meter modes
The meter can operate in three different modes: "Normal", ”Fast” and "Test" mode, as shown below. The choice
between normal and fast mode must be made when ordering the meter and this choice cannot be changed
subsequently. No matter whether the meter is supplied with normal mode or fast mode, test mode (see paragraph
14.1.1) can be selected.
