1. Functional description
Application
HYDRUS is a static ultrasonic water meter for accurate recording and reading of consumption in all
areas of water supply.
It is not affected by sediment and suspended solids in the water and so ensures stable long-term
measuring accuracy even under difficult conditions.
With its innovative combination of ultrasonic technology and integrated communication, HYDRUS
makes water consumption transparent – and is ideal as part of an automatic meter reading (AMR)
system. Reading is possible in seconds using the radio protocol to the Open Metering standard or a
wired M-Bus interface and real meter counts create the perfect database for smart metering. HYDRUS
therefore provides the database for complex consumption profiles in real time if required.
Measuring principle
Ultrasonic measurement in HYDRUS is based on the echo time difference measuring procedure. The
ultrasonic transducer in the meter sends an ultrasonic signal in the direction of flow. This ultrasonic
signal is reflected by the reflector, passes through the measuring tube to the reflector opposite and
sends the signal to the second ultrasonic transducer. HYDRUS determines the echo time of the
ultrasonic signal. After two seconds the meter also sends an ultrasonic signal in the opposite direction
to the flow and then uses these two echo times to determine the echo time difference.
During a flow of water the time needed by the signal in the direction of flow is shorter than the time
needed against the direction of flow. This measured “echo time difference” is directly proportional to
the flow velocity and thus to the flow volume. This value together with the cross-section of the
measuring tube can be used to calculate the flow volume. HYDRUS makes every two seconds an
ultrasonic measurement.
The water temperature required to accurately determine the sound velocity and calculate flow effects
is measured by a temperature sensor every four seconds.
Contents

Mechanical design
HYDRUS consists of two main components – the hydraulic part and the encapsulated electronics.
The hydraulic part consists of a brass housing, ultrasonic transducer, temperature sensor and a plastic
measuring insert with holders for the two reflectors. The ultrasonic transducers are connected to the
printed circuit board by a cable and fixed to the brass housing by plastic shells.
The complete electronics module consists of printed circuit board, batteries, LCD and the connected
cables. It is fully potted to provide optimum protection against condensation or moisture penetrating
from outside. Due to fully potting of the electronic we reach a vacuum in the meter which displaces
the air.
The electronics module is connected permanently to the hydraulic part of the meter and cannot be
detached. HYDRUS is encased in a UV-resistant plastic housing with suitable plastic and adhesive
seals to protect against unauthorized opening.

7. Communication / interfaces
Note: A detailed description of the communication interfaces (wired and wireless M-Bus) can be found
in the Communication Description on our home page www.diehl.com/metering.
HYDRUS is equipped with different communication interfaces depending on the variant selected:
• Optical IrDA interface (standard - always)

• Radio 434 / 868 MHz
• Radio 868 MHz / L-Bus
• Radio 434 MHz / L-Bus
• M-Bus
• Pulse
Optical
The optical IRDA interface has a dual function. First it is used as optical button and second as
communication interface.
Optical button:
This is used for switching to the next display and operating the LC display. If the button is not pressed
for about 4 minutes, the meter switches to sleep mode, i.e. the display is off but the meter is still in
operation and records all data.
The LC display can be taken into operation by pressing the button or by opening the cover.
After being taken into operation, the current status appears in the LC display for approx. 2 seconds,
then the error message (if an error exists), e.g. E - 7 - A - - - (air in the pipe, ex works state).
Optical interface:
Communication with the meter is possible over the optical IRDA interface with the aid of an opto head
together with a laptop or PC and the associated IZAR@SET or IZAR@MOBILE 2 software.
Display information and the radio telegram can be configured to the customer’s requirements over the
optical interface, but it is recommended that the desired configuration is agreed ex works before
placing the order; if no prior agreement is made, the ex works setting is used.
The optical interface can also be used together with an opto head for carrying out quick tests using
suitable electronic test beds.
Contents

Wireless radio
HYDRUS can send radio protocols with different standards (OMS or Real Data). OMS and Real Data
protocols can be sent with a frequency of 868 or 434 MHz. The radio protocols for Open Metering and
Real Data have the same content but are encrypted differently. The protocol type (OMS or Real Data)
can only be set ex works and cannot be changed in the field.
The integrated radio function is switched off on delivery and the meter is set to “storage mode”, in
which HYDRUS starts an ultrasonic measurement every minute. The meter activates itself
automatically (field mode) on detecting water in the measuring tube and starts measuring every two
seconds. The integrated radio function is activated at the same time; the radio remains permanently
active after continuous operation (> 3 hours) with water. The radio in HYDRUS can also be activated
or deactivated with IZAR@SET or IZAR@MOBILE 2 software.
HYDRUS sends unidirectionally in the T1 radio mode.
OMS Version:
Generation 3, Encryption Mode 5 (OMS-Certificate of conformity see point 2)
Encryption methods:
DES key (Data Encryption Standard): Used in Real Data
- 8-byte hexadecimal (16-digit h0-hF, 64-bit)
AES key (Advanced Encryption Standard): Used in OMS

- 16-byte hexadecimal (32-digit h0-hF, 128-bit)
- Standard key for the variant is used unless otherwise requested
- Individual key for the variant possible
- Individual key per meter is possible

Pulse outputs
HYDRUS is equipped with two pulse outputs (open collector, pulse 1 and pulse 2), which
can be configured differently (see below for ex works settings).
Pulse outputs and pulse rates, technical data:
Possible pulse variants:
Pulse 1: Total volume or forward volume

Pulse 2: Forward volume, error or direction
(When total volume on pulse output 1, only direction possible on pulse output 2)
It is possible to subsequently modify the pulse settings in the meter using the IZAR@SET or
IZAR@MOBILE 2 software in conjunction with the expert dongle and a Bluetooth optohead.
Contents

Pulse settings:
Pulse output 1 can FAST mode and SLOW Mode pulses (automatically change to SLOW Mode from 10
liter)
Pulse output 2 can only SLOW Mode pulses (with fixed pulse duration of 125 ms)
In FAST Mode, the pulse outputs are with the following pulse values: 0,1L/Pulse and 1L/Pulse (Thus,
with 0,1L and 1L always FAST MODE on pulse output 1)
In SLOW Mode, the pulse outputs are with the following pulse values: 1L/Pulse (Only pulse output
2),10L/Pulse; 100L/Pulse and 1000L/Pulse)

Cable pin assignment (M-Bus/L-Bus/pulse)
The M-Bus, L-Bus or pulse variant of the meter is supplied with a 1.5-m long, 3-wire cable with wire
end ferrules.
Electrical isolation:
A voltage potential between the ground terminal of the L-Bus/pulse output and the meter housing
ground (brass) must be avoided to prevent possible damage due to electrical corrosion.
The pulse outputs are open-collector circuits. The collector branch contains 0 ohm resistance, i.e. no
current limiting takes place in the meter. This must be provided externally by a protective resistor.
The internal resistance of the device should be 5 times the resistance of the protective resistor.

Description of alarms:
A1 Reverse flow
The meter checks whether the 15-minute average consumption was below the limit (-8l).
If so, the alarm is set. If the alarm has no longer occurred for 30* days, the alarm is reset.
The return volume is detected from the following flow volumes (return volume) onwards (ex works
setting):
For Q3 = 2.5 m³/h from a return volume of 2.5 l

For Q3 = 4 m³/h from a return volume of 4 l
A3 No usage
The meter checks whether the 15-minute average consumption was less than the limit (8l) in 30
consecutive days. The alarm is deactivated as soon as the 15-minute average consumption is greater
than the limit.
Contents

A4 Failure of ultrasonic or temperature measuring
The meter reports an alarm if an error was active in 8 consecutive minutes.
The alarm is reset after 30* days.
A5 Leakage
The meter checks whether the 15-minute average consumption was always above the limit (0.8 l) in
24 consecutive hours. The alarm is only activated if the limit was always exceeded in the 24 hours
(otherwise the meter starts the 24-hour calculation from the beginning).
The alarm is reset 15 minutes after the leakage is cleared.
Example: In a 1-family house there is to be no flow for 15 min. once in 24 hours, otherwise a leakage
may exist. The time window (15 min.) can be selected as desired or set ex works and the limit ("zero
flow rate") can also be defined. This means, for example, that the minimum flow rate can be specified
as the limit in a factory in which water is generally drawn around the clock.
A6 Low temperature (below 3 °C)

The alarm is activated if the temperature is less than 3 °C after 4 consecutive temperature
measurements (every 16 seconds). The alarm is reset after 30* days.
A7 Air in pipe system, no flow rate measurement

The meter reports an alarm if Err7 (Air in the measuring path) is active.
The alarm is deactivated after 30* days without air.
A9 Battery too low

If calculated battery life is less than 400 days.
The alarm is deactivated when the calculated battery life is greater than 400 days.
Contents

* The alarm hold time is 30 days ex works. Existing alarms are shown in the display for 30 days. If the
alarm is no longer present within this time, it will no longer be displayed after these 30 days.
Exceptions are alarms A3, A5 and A9.
All errors and alarms occurring are saved with their date and time in the error log.
In the ex works state the leakage interval is set to 24 hours and all alarms are activated.
It is possible to subsequently modify the alarm holding time, the leakage interval and the activated
alarms in the meter using the IZAR@SET or IZAR@MOBILE 2 software in conjunction with the expert
dongle and a Bluetooth optohead.
Alarm holding time:
30 days
Leakage interval:
24 hours
Activated alarms:
Alarm A1 - Reverse flow
Alarm A3 - No usage
Alarm A4 - Failure of ultrasonic or temperature measuring
Alarm A5 - Leakage
Alarm A6 - Low temperature (below 3 °C)
Alarm A7 - Air in the pipe, no volume measuring
Alarm A9 - Battery too low

8.6 Periodical log
The periodical log saves 32 hourly, daily, weekly or monthly values. The data log is set ex works for
saving data monthly. The data are logged at 23:59 at the end of each month. The data log can be
read out over the optical interface using IZAR@SET or IZAR@MOBILE 2 software in conjunction with
the Bluetooth optohead.
Note:
The periodical log is a ring memory and has only a limited space available. If the space is occupied,
the oldest entry is overwritten with the newest entry in each case (FiFo). The periodical log table
shown in the IZAR@SET or IZAR@MOBILE 2 software can be exported as a .csv file and processed in
MS Office Excel.
The following data are saved:
Description of the values:
1. Current date and time:
The date and time at the time of entry in the periodical log.
2. Total volume:
Total volume at the time of entry in the periodical log.
3. Flow rate:
Current flow rate at the time of entry in the periodical log.
4. Forward volume:
Total detected forward volume at the time of entry in the periodical log.
Contents

5. Reverse volume:
Total detected reverse volume at the time of entry in the periodical log.
6. / 7. Minimum / Maximum flow:
The minimum/maximum flow rate will be logged once per month in the periodical log.
This value is calculated over all minimum/maximum average flow rates of 15 minutes interval from the
previous month.
8. Medium temperature:
Medium temperature at the time of entry in the periodical log.
9. Ambient temperature:
Ambient temperature at the time of entry in the periodical log.
10. Error time:
The error time specify how many hours the meter ever detects Error 1E1 and/or E4. The error time
are thus summed up monthly.
11. On time:
On time specify since how many hours the meter is in the field mode. The hours are thus summed up
monthly.
11. Status:
In the field “Status” the central error- and alarm register will be emitted at the time of entry in the
periodical log. This value is displayed as a decimal figure and must converted to hexadecimal thus the
current errors and alarms are visible.
Example: Status 4097 (decimal) -> 0x1001 (Hexadecimal) -> Error E 7 + Alarm A7
The following values exist:
Bitmask Description
0x0001 Alarm A7 (Air in the pipe)
0x0002 Alarm A6 (Low temperature)
0x0004 Alarm A9 (Battery too low)
0x0008 Alarm A3 (No usage)
0x0010 Alarm A1 (Reverse flow)
0x0080 Alarm A4 (Measurement Error)
0x0100 Current relative flow rate is reverse
0x0200 Error C1 (Checksum Error)
0x0400 Error E4 (US-Hardware Error)
0x0800 Error E1 (Temperature Measurement Error)
0x1000 Error E7 (Air in the pipe)
0x2000 Error E5 (Communication not possible)
0x4000 TMH (Temperature-Hardware Error)
0x8000 Alarm A5 (Leakage)
Contents

8.7 Error log (historical log)
Errors and alarms are saved in the error log with their date and time. The error log can store up to
127 x 4-byte values and can also be read out over the optical interface using IZAR@SET or
IZAR@MOBILE 2 software and a Bluetooth optohead.
Errors are shown in the log with a 0 or 1 flag. 0 = error not occurred and 1 = error occurred.
Note:
All errors/alarms are logged, even if several should be present at the same time.
Errors/Alarms are only stored and displayed if they have been registered without interruption for an
average of 6 minutes.
The error log is full after 127 entries and no further entry can be saved. It is no ring memory.
The error log table shown in the IZAR@SET or IZAR@MOBILE 2 software can be exported as a .csv
file and processed in MS Office Excel.
Until the 100th entry the status changes of the following errors / alarms are logged:
• Low medium temperature (Alarm A6)

• No usage (Alarm A3)
• Reverse flow (Alarm A1)
• Error in the ultrasonic system (Alarm A4)
• Leakage (Alarm A5)
• Error in the ultrasonic system (Error E4)
• Temperature sensors defect (Error TMH)
• Medium temperature too high or too low (Error E1)
• Air in the pipe (Error E7)
• Eletronic error (Error C1) (immediately logging when occurs)
• Reset of the meter (immediately logging when occurs)
• Protection level change (immediately logging when occurs)
From the 100th entry the status changes of the following errors / alarms are only logged:
• Error in the ultrasonic system (Error E4)

• Temperature sensors defect (Fehler TMH)
• Medium temperature too high or too low (Error E1)
• Eletronic error (Error C1) (immediately logging when occurs)
• Reset of the meter (immediately logging when occurs)
