HYDRO-SET:
With the freely available standard version of HYDRO-SET you are able to read all meter values and
you may program several user specific meter parameters (e.g. device address, reading dates).
HYDRO-SET Professional:
The professional version of HYDRO-SET is not available for free and is only given to meter testing
laboratories and similar installations. It allows you to change parameters which may affect the accuracy
and the performance of the meter. For enabling the professional version of HYDRO-SET you must
have a specifically coded hardware dongle. By connecting this hardware dongle to the parallel port
interface of the computer the professional functions of HYDRO-SET are enabled. Without hardware
dongle only the functions of the standard version are available.
This manual treats the functions of both versions of HYDRO-SET equally, however, functions not
available in the standard version are marked throughout the text.
The HYDRO-SET software runs on a Pentium class PC computer with at least 256 MByte of free
memory, Windows® XP and approx. 40 MByte free hard disk space. Additionally, a free serial interface
port must be available.
For connecting a heat meter or a water meter, an opto transceiver (optical reading) or an M-Bus
repeater (M-Bus reading, e.g. HYDRO-CENTER®) is necessary.
The HYDROMETER ZVEI opto transceiver:
HYDROMETER Part Number: 53500043
can be used for this purpose. The ZVEI opto transceiver is an optical to serial RS232 converter with a 9
pin female connector.

The maximum output frequency of the constant 125 ms long pulse is 4 Hz. An open collector output is
used and the pulse output is obtained by connecting the applied voltage to earth for 125 ms.
Total volume: The total volume in conjunction with the direction information (pulse output 2) represents
in principle the total of the forward and return flows at any time. No return pulses are buffered and
compensated with a subsequent forward flow.
If pulse output 2 for the direction indication is switched, the open collector remains high resistance for a
forward flow. For a return flow, a voltage at the output is connected to earth. No pulses are lost or
added due to the direction change.

(HYDRUS) Telegram
The meter offers the user the possibility of compiling a customer-specific M-Bus telegram of his choice.
This customer-specific M-Bus telegram is also used as a radio telegram if the meter is used with a Real
Data Radio Module, i.e. the values to be sent over Real Data Radio are also set on this tab.
If used as a radio telegram, make sure the maximum telegram length does not exceed 108 bytes (see
byte display). If a telegram has been compiled with more than 108 bytes, the program generates a
warning, but the new, customer-specific telegram is still programmed. Such a telegram can be used
for M-Bus reading, but radio transmission does not work.
Set Customer Telegram: The values displayed in the list on the right are programmed
as customer-specific telegram in the meter. The meter is also set so that this telegram is sent
automatically in the event of an M-Bus request. The Real Data Radio Telegram output is also activated

The recorded maximum values with their respective time points are displayed.
Clear All: All maximum values and their respective time points are cleared.
Integration Time: The integration time in minutes for calculating the maximum values.
Possible values are 6, 15, 30 and 60 minutes.
Depending on the setting the maximum monthly power or the end of month values of the energy for 12
months are listed.
Delete All Memory Values: The monthly log memory, all historic values and all
current values are cleared (energy counter, volume counter, hours run counter, reading date values,
maximum values, monthly log). This function can only be used if the protection key inside the device is
pressed.
Change Monthly Log: Switches between the display of maximum power and end of
month energy values.
NOTE: If you change this setting while there are values listed, all values are wrong for the next 12
month. The SHARKY-HEAT device is only able to record the maximum power or the end of month
energy but not both.
This list displays the content of the EEPROM data logger memory of the meter. If data logging with
maximum values is enabled, the meter may store up to 494 time points with different values, if data
logging without maximum values is enabled, the meter may store up to 988 time points. Due to the
large size of the EEPROM data logger memory, these values are not loaded automatically during a
standard request, instead, the user has to request them separately.
Please note that the refreshing of the list, depending on the number of values read, may take
from several seconds up to several minutes.
Save Values: Saves all values in the list into a text file.
EEPROM Memory Interval: Setting of the EEPROM data logger memory storage
interval. Additionally, the user may choose data logging with or without maximum values. Please note
that you should clear all the EEPROM data logger memory after changing one of these
parameters to avoid faulty data display.
It is necessary to read the meter with a standard reading before reading the EEPROM memory,
preferably immediately before it. If this is not done or the time span between the standard
reading and the EEPROM memory reading is long in comparison with the EEPROM reading
interval, it is possible that the latest entries of the EEPROM memory are shown at the end of the
list in the display and not at the beginning. This behavior might only occur if a short EEPROM
reading interval is selected (1, 2, 5, 10 … minutes).
Read EEPROM Memory: Reads out the EEPROM data logger memory. Depending
on the number of time points stored this process may take up to 10 minutes (2400 baud). Therefore, it
is possible to limit the number of time points to read.
Here you are able to select the display sequence of the device. The display has got three loops. By
default loop 1 is displayed. By pressing the user button on the device you cycle through the values of
loop 1. By pressing the user button for a longer time the display switches to the next loop and so on.
The display of the device is organised in blocks. You are only able to enable or disable a complete

Internal parameters of the device, which may be used for trouble shooting, are displayed. You have to
press the protection key inside the device to alter any of the parameters on this page.
Type of Meter: Indicates the type of the meter (e.g. heat meter, volume counting unit, …)
Battery Change: This function is used to restore all the meter parameters after a
battery change. Please proceed as described below:
Meter Energy Unit (Display): The default display unit (Wh or J) and the number of
decimal digits is selected here.
Installation: The device may be installed at the inlet or outlet (default) of a heating
pipe system.
Error State: Indicates the currently existing error state of the device (e.g. missing sensor or air in US
path).
Energy Pulse Output: Indicates if the device has got an energy pulse output or not. The pulse valence
of this output is always taken from the last digit of the energy display value (e.g. energy display =
123.45 MWh -> energy pulse output = 10 KWh/pulse). The pulse width of the energy pulse output is
fixed to 125 ms.
Volume Pulse Output: Indicates if the device has got a volume pulse output or not. If it has got a
volume pulse output the fields beneath (“Pulse Valence” and “Pulse Width”) are also visible, otherwise
not. “Pulse Valence” and “Pulse Width” are only referencing the volume pulse output and not the
energy pulse output.
Pulse Valence: If the device is equipped with a volume pulse output you may set the
pulse valence here. The timely pulse width depends on the pulse valence and is selected
automatically.
The minimum pulse valence is given by the volume counter (Current Values; e.g. volume counter =
8.7652 m3 -> minimum pulse valence = 0.1 l). The maximum value depends from the meter size. If the
pulse valence entered is to small or to large the software is using the minimum or maximum pulse
valence, respectively.
If the device is not equipped with a volume pulse output the pulse parameter entry fields are
hidden and are not visible.
Pulse Width (timely): Indicates the timely pulse width of the volume pulse output in milliseconds. The
pulse width is set automatically according to the pulse valence.
Internal parameters of the device, which may be used for trouble shooting, are displayed. You have to
press the protection key inside the device to alter any of the parameters on this page.
Serial Number: Apart from the M-Bus device ID / secondary address the device has got an internal
serial number. By default M-Bus device ID and serial number are equal. However, since the user is
able to change the M-Bus device ID the serial number is displayed here once more. The serial number
may not be altered.
Volume (hi-res): The current volume of the device is read with high resolution. This
value may be e.g. used to calibrate the device. By recording the start and end volumes during a
measurement the necessary calibration parameters may be calculated.
Optical Test Pulses: The meter is set into a test mode emitting test pulses through its
optical interface.
NOTE: After executing this function the protection level of the meter is not reset to user level, as it is
done while using other functions altering the protection level. To reset the protection level to user level
you have to set the parameter installation on page settings once.
Protection Level: the operation mode of the meter. In calibration mode it is possible to
change some critical parameter of the meter which have an influence on the performance. During
standard operation the protection level must be set to normal mode.
If the meter is in calibration mode, it can be switched to normal mode using this function.
Flow Calibration: You may decrease or increase the internal parameters KA and KB
which are responsible for the volume flow error curve.
E.g. if the device measures +1% volume flow you may set the adjustment to -1% to compensate the
error.
NOTE: The adjustment is limited to +/-10%. However, by sequentially setting the adjustment value
multiple times you may get a higher compensation. If KA and KB are changed to much from their initial
values the device is damaged permanently.
Start Offset Calibration: The automatic offset calibration process for the ultrasonic
measuring chamber is started. The process takes about 1 minute to complete. If the calibration was
successful the new offset parameter is programmed into the device.
NOTE: The device must be filled with water and there must not be any volume flow !
ZVEI Interface: Indicates if the device has got an optical ZVEI interface.
ZIRDA Interface: Indicates if the device has got an optical ZIRDA interface.

Possible values are 6, 15, 30 and 60 minutes and 24 hours. 60 minutes is the default integration time.
This option page with leakage settings is not available but for devices with leakage option.
Leakage Detection (Heat): The leakage detection for the heat circuit may be switched
on or off. With the same option dialog the accuracy / sensitivity for the leakage detection may be set:
Stop Time Input 1: Alternatively to the leakage detection for the heat circuit, the
device may set an alarm if there is not a certain interval of time within the alarm integration time without
an impulse on impulse input 1. Usually, a domestic water meter should not have a flow, e.g. during
night time. If the water meter connected to impulse input 1 is, anyway, permanently emitting impulses,
a leakage is highly probable. This option may only be used if the leakage detection for the heat circuit
is not used.
Stop Time Input 2: Additionally, the device may also set an alarm if there is not a
certain interval of time within the alarm integration time without an impulse on impulse input 2. Usually,
a domestic water meter should not have a flow, e.g. during night time. If the water meter connected to
impulse input 2 is, anyway, permanently emitting impulses, a leakage is highly probable.
Alarm Time: Sets the interval of time per day where the alarm should be active. This
time interval in conjunction with the alarm duration inhibits the permanent activation of the alarm output
(e.g. for an acoustical alarm). Possible alarm times are between 1 minute and 255 minutes.
Alarm Duration: Sets the maximal alarm duration. This duration in conjunction with
the alarm time inhibits the permanent activation of the alarm output (e.g. for an acoustical alarm).
Possible alarm durations are between 1 day and 7 days.
Example for alarm time and alarm duration:
Alarm Time = 30 minutes
Alarm Duration = 5 days
In this case the alarm output is set for 30 minutes per day for a maximum of 5 days. Afterwards, the
alarm output is no longer set. The alarm may also be switched off earlier by acknowledging it
Alarm Hold: If the alarm output is e.g. connected to an flow interruption valve which is
cutting of the flow in case of an alarm, this option should be activated. In this case the valve stays
closed even if the alarm condition is no longer valid, since by interrupting the flow there is no longer a
detectable leakage and the device would normally reset the alarm.
Different month values of the last 24 months are displayed. The monthly log is not loaded automatically
during a standard request, instead, the user has to request it separately.
Save Values: Stores the list of end of month values into a text file.
Log Day: The day of the month, at which the month values are registered, may be
programmed with this button.
Read Monthly Log: Reads the monthly log memory of the meter. This is not
performed automatically during a standard request.
The content of the EEPROM data logger memory is displayed. This meter may store up to 440 time
points with different values. Due to the large size of the EEPROM data logger memory it is not loaded
automatically during a standard request, instead, the user has to request it separately.
Please note that the refreshing of the list, depending on the number of values read, may take
from several seconds up to several minutes.
For devices equipped with leakage detection the user has got the option to split the available
data logger memory in two parts (EEPROM memory and EEPROM memory 2) with two different
logging time intervals. For devices without leakage detection this option is not available.
Save Values: Saves all values in the list into a text file.
EEPROM Memory Interval: Setting of the EEPROM data logger memory storage
interval.
Read EEPROM Memory: Reads out the EEPROM data logger memory. Depending
on the number of time points stored this process may take up to 5 minutes (2400 baud). Therefore, it is
possible to limit the number of time points to read.
Read EEPROM Memory 2 : Reads out the EEPROM data logger memory 2. If the
EEPROM data logger memory has been split, the second part contains whether daily values for the
last 90 days or monthly values for the last 36 months.
A list with the latest 31 events / errors is displayed. The error log is not automatically loaded during a
standard request, instead, it has to be requested separately.
Save Values: Stores the displayed list of errors into a text file.
Read Error Log: Reads out the error log of the connected meter. The error log is not

Here the user may enable or disable certain values in the display of the meter (display loop 2 – 6).
Usually the meter displays the display loop 1, that is by pressing the user button on the meter the user
cycles through the display values of display loop 1. The setting of display loop 1 is described in the last
chapter. By pressing the user button for a longer time the display switches to display loop 2 and so on.
In contrary to the setting of display loop 1, which can be freely configured, the user may not but enable
or disable certain values within display loops 2 – 6.
Set Values For Display: The values for display loop 2 - 6 shown in the list are
programmed into the device.
Additionally, the user can specify how many months should be displayed in loop 6 (monthly log
display).
Furthermore, the option for the Last Year’s Reading Dates Values / Tariff Values is related to display
loops 2, 4 and 5. These values may only be enabled or disabled in all three display loops,
simultaneously.
The meter has got two programmable tariffs for the energy value. The energy values of the two tariffs
are also stored at reading date 1 and reading date 2.
For tariff type t08 and t09 an additional minimum flow temperature is defined. The tariff will only be
activated if the flow temperature exceeds this minimum flow temperature.
If the user chooses the option Time Tariff the meter will not count and display the energy for the
respective tariff, but the time in hours during which the tariff condition was met.

For some devices with leakage detection the error day counter may be reset. This option is
never available for devices without leakage detection.
Error State: Indicates the currently existing error state of the device (e.g. missing sensor or air in US
path).
Additionally, the current impulse input value can be reset to zero during programming the impulse input
weight. This option is only available with devices not having leakage detection. With devices
having leakage detection the meter count on the impulse inputs may be freely set.
NOTE: If, for devices with leakage detection, the leakage detection of the heat circuit is enabled,
the setting of the meter count for impulse input 1 is disabled.
The default setting for impulse output 1 is Energy (energy proportional impulses).
The default setting for impulse output 2 is Volume (volume proportional impulses).
Internal parameters of the device, which may be used for trouble shooting, are displayed. You have to
press the protection key inside the device to alter any of the parameters on this page. After pressing
the protection key inside the device the protection level is switched from normal mode to calibration
mode. For resetting it to normal mode you have to use the respective function on this Calibration
page. If this function is not used the device will automatically reset its protection level from calibration
mode to normal mode within 48 hours.
Fabrication Number: Apart from the M-Bus device ID / secondary address the device has got an
internal fabrication number. By default M-Bus device ID and fabrication number are equal. However,
since the user is able to change the M-Bus device ID the fabrication number is displayed here once
more. The fabrication number may not be altered.

error log, etc.) are reset.
Protection Level: The current protection level of the meter. Normal mode is the
standard operating level. Calibration mode is entered after pressing the protection key inside the meter.
If the meter is in calibration mode critical parameter may be altered. If the user has finished
programming the critical device parameter, he should use this function to reset the meter to normal
mode. However, if the protection level is not reset manually the device will reset its protection level
automatically to normal mode within 48 hours.
If the meter is in calibration mode, it can be switched to normal mode using this function.
Flow Calibration: You may adjust the volume flow error curve if the standard curve is
not working properly..
E.g. if the device measures +1% volume flow you may set the adjustment to -1% to compensate the
error.
Start Offset Calibration: The automatic offset calibration process for the ultrasonic
measuring chamber is started. The process takes about 1 minute to complete. If the calibration was
successful the new offset parameter is programmed into the device.
NOTE: The device must be filled with water and there must not be any volume flow !
Valence Impulse Output: The pulse weight of the output pulses which are available
by using the pulse output module without galvanic isolation (maximum frequency is 100 Hz). The
limitation of the pulse weight is verified during the configuration process.
Test Pulse Valence: The pulse weight of the output pulses which are available by using the test
module volume, where the impulse weight is fix and depends on the meter size.
For this meter the user may assemble his own customer specific M-Bus telegram.
For meters equipped with a real data radio module this customer telegram is also used as radio
telegram, therefore, the user may set the values to be transmitted via real data radio.
If the customer telegram is used as radio telegram it may not contain more than 108 bytes (see byte
indicator). However, if the user assembles a telegram with more than 108 bytes the program will only
show a warning message, but is not inhibiting the programming of a longer telegram. In this case the
telegram may be used as M-Bus telegram, but the radio transmission will not work at all.
Set customer telegram: The values in the right hand side list are programmed as
customer specific telegram. Additionally, the meter is programmed to return this customer M-Bus
telegram by default and the emission of this telegram via real data radio is enabled (if the meter is
equipped with a real data radio module).
> Add >: The selected values of the left hand side list are taken to the list on the right hand side

page. If this function is not used the device will automatically reset its protection level from calibration
mode to normal mode within 48 hours.
Fabrication Number: Apart from the M-Bus device ID / secondary address the device has got an
internal fabrication number. By default M-Bus device ID and fabrication number are equal. However,
since the user is able to change the M-Bus device ID the fabrication number is displayed here once
more. The fabrication number may not be altered.
Reset Meter: All internal values and parameters (current values, reading date values,
error log, etc.) are reset.
Protection Level: The current protection level of the meter. Normal mode is the
standard operating level. Calibration mode is entered after pressing the protection key inside the meter.
If the meter is in calibration mode critical parameter may be altered. If the user has finished
programming the critical device parameter, he should use this function to reset the meter to normal
mode. However, if the protection level is not reset manually the device will reset its protection level
automatically to normal mode within 48 hours.
If the meter is in calibration mode, it can be switched to normal mode using this function.
Flow Calibration: You may adjust the volume flow error curve if the standard curve is
not working properly..
E.g. if the device measures +1% volume flow you may set the adjustment to -1% to compensate the
error.
Start Offset Calibration: The automatic offset calibration process for the ultrasonic
measuring chamber is started. The process takes about 1 minute to complete. If the calibration was
successful the new offset parameter is programmed into the device.
NOTE: The device must be filled with water and there must not be any volume flow !
For this meter the user may assemble his own customer specific M-Bus telegram.
For meters equipped with a real data radio module this customer telegram is also used as radio
telegram, therefore, the user may set the values to be transmitted via real data radio.
If the customer telegram is used as radio telegram it may not contain more than 108 bytes (see byte
indicator). However, if the user assembles a telegram with more than 108 bytes the program will only
show a warning message, but is not inhibiting the programming of a longer telegram. In this case the
telegram may be used as M-Bus telegram, but the radio transmission will not work at all.
Set customer telegram: The values in the right hand side list are programmed as
customer specific telegram. Additionally, the meter is programmed to return this customer M-Bus
telegram by default and the emission of this telegram via real data radio is enabled (if the meter is
equipped with a real data radio module).

Integration Time: The integration time in minutes for calculating the maximum values.
Possible values are 6, 15, 30 and 60 minutes and 24 hours. 60 minutes is the default integration time.
Leakage Detection (Heat): The leakage detection for the heat circuit may be switched
on or off. With the same option dialog the accuracy / sensitivity for the leakage detection may be set:
Stop Time Input 1: Alternatively to the leakage detection for the heat circuit, the
device may set an alarm if there is not a certain interval of time within the alarm integration time without
an impulse on impulse input 1. Usually, a domestic water meter should not have a flow, e.g. during
night time. If the water meter connected to impulse input 1 is, anyway, permanently emitting impulses,
a leakage is highly probable. This option may only be used if the leakage detection for the heat circuit
is not used.
Stop Time Input 2: Additionally, the device may also set an alarm if there is not a
certain interval of time within the alarm integration time without an impulse on impulse input 2. Usually,
a domestic water meter should not have a flow, e.g. during night time. If the water meter connected to
impulse input 2 is, anyway, permanently emitting impulses, a leakage is highly probable.
Alarm Time: Sets the interval of time per day where the alarm should be active. This
time interval in conjunction with the alarm duration inhibits the permanent activation of the alarm output
(e.g. for an acoustical alarm). Possible alarm times are between 1 minute and 255 minutes.
Alarm Duration: Sets the maximal alarm duration. This duration in conjunction with
the alarm time inhibits the permanent activation of the alarm output (e.g. for an acoustical alarm).
Possible alarm durations are between 1 day and 7 days.
Example for alarm time and alarm duration:
Alarm Time = 30 minutes
Alarm Duration = 5 days
In this case the alarm output is set for 30 minutes per day for a maximum of 5 days. Afterwards, the
alarm output is no longer set. The alarm may also be switched off earlier by acknowledging it
Alarm Hold: If the alarm output is e.g. connected to an flow interruption valve which is
cutting of the flow in case of an alarm, this option should be activated. In this case the valve stays
closed even if the alarm condition is no longer valid, since by interrupting the flow there is no longer a
detectable leakage and the device would normally reset the alarm.

Internal parameters of the device, which may be used for trouble shooting, are displayed. You have to
press the protection key inside the device to alter any of the parameters on this page. After pressing
the protection key inside the device the protection level is switched from normal mode to calibration
mode. For resetting it to normal mode you have to use the respective function on this Calibration
page. If this function is not used the device will automatically reset its protection level from calibration
mode to normal mode within 48 hours.
Fabrication Number: Apart from the M-Bus device ID / secondary address the device has got an
internal fabrication number. By default M-Bus device ID and fabrication number are equal. However,
since the user is able to change the M-Bus device ID the fabrication number is displayed here once
more. The fabrication number may not be altered.
Reset Meter: All internal values and parameters (current values, reading date values,
error log, etc.) are reset.
Protection Level: The current protection level of the meter. Normal mode is the
standard operating level. Calibration mode is entered after pressing the protection key inside the meter.
If the meter is in calibration mode critical parameter may be altered. If the user has finished
programming the critical device parameter, he should use this function to reset the meter to normal
mode. However, if the protection level is not reset manually the device will reset its protection level
automatically to normal mode within 48 hours.
If the meter is in calibration mode, it can be switched to normal mode using this function.
Flow Calibration: You may adjust the volume flow error curve if the standard curve is
not working properly..
E.g. if the device measures +1% volume flow you may set the adjustment to -1% to compensate the
error.
Valence Impulse Output: The pulse weight of the output pulses which are available
by using the pulse output module without galvanic isolation (maximum frequency is 100 Hz). The
limitation of the pulse weight is verified during the configuration process.
Test Pulse Valence: The pulse weight of the output pulses which are available by using the test
module volume, where the impulse weight is fix and depends on the meter size.
Valence Impulse Input: The pulse weight of the pulses coming from the connected
flow sensor.
Attention: If you change this value, you have to recalibrate the meter and redesign the
identification plate!
For this meter the user may assemble his own customer specific M-Bus telegram.
For meters equipped with a real data radio module this customer telegram is also used as radio
telegram, therefore, the user may set the values to be transmitted via real data radio.
If the customer telegram is used as radio telegram it may not contain more than 108 bytes (see byte
indicator). However, if the user assembles a telegram with more than 108 bytes the program will only
show a warning message, but is not inhibiting the programming of a longer telegram. In this case the
telegram may be used as M-Bus telegram, but the radio transmission will not work at all.
Set customer telegram: The values in the right hand side list are programmed as
customer specific telegram. Additionally, the meter is programmed to return this customer M-Bus
telegram by default and the emission of this telegram via real data radio is enabled (if the meter is
equipped with a real data radio module).
> Add >: The selected values of the left hand side list are taken to the list on the right hand side
(customer telegram). Multiple selections with CTRL and ALT are possible.
< Delete <: The selected values of the right hand side list are deleted from the customer telegram.
Multiple selections with CTRL and ALT are possible.
Delete All: All values in the right hand side list (customer telegram) are deleted.
• It is not possible to select one value more than once for the customer telegram.
• All changes to the right hand side list (customer telegram) are not taken unless the user has
programmed them using the Set customer telegram button. The assembly of the values in the right
hand side list is not sufficient for activating the customer telegram.
• If the list on the right hand side is completely empty, the standard customer telegram is used:
• [03] Energy
• [04] Volume
• [05] Volume Flow
• [07] Flow Temperature
• [08] Return Temperature
• [10] Energy Tariff 1
• [21] Days with Errors
• [22] Impulse Input 1
• [23] Impulse Input 2
• [30] Energy T2 Month Log
The
first line of entry fields indicates:
Set Date+Time: Date and time are set to the entered value. Enter the new date
manually or click on the description Set Date+Time on the right hand side of the date entry field and
use the upcoming calendar to enter the date.
Synchronize With PC: Date and time are synchronized with the PC clock.
Note: By clicking the description on the right hand side of the date entry field you receive a calendar
to enter a date very easily. This option is available with all variable date fields, e.g. reading dates.
Operating Time / Reset: The option to reset the operating time counter is not but
available for some devices. If the button does not appear in the professional version of this software,
the device is not able to execute this function.
Reading Date 1 (next): Setting of next time point for reading date 1. Enter the new
date manually or click on the description Date on the right hand side of the date entry field and use the
upcoming calendar to enter the date.
Notes: The time point of the reading date is always at the end of the day: 23:59.
th
February, 29 may not be set as reading date.
Reading Date 2 (next): Setting of next time point for reading date 2. Enter the new
date manually or click on the description Date on the right hand side of the date entry field and use the
upcoming calendar to enter the date.
Notes: The time point of the reading date is always at the end of the day: 23:59.
th
February, 29 may not be set as reading date.
The recorded maximum values (power, volume flow, flow and return temperature (max.), temperature
difference (max) with their respective time points (date and time) are displayed.
Integration Time: The integration time for calculating the maximum values. Possible
values are 6, 15, 30 and 60 minutes and 24 hours and 1024 seconds .
The recorded average values (flow and return temperature, temperature difference) are displayed.
The integration time for calculating the average values is shown.
The values shown in this card can not be changed. The integration time can be changed under
maximum values.
(INT7) Leakage
Integration Time: The integration time of the leakage detection is set with this option.
Possible integration times are between 1 hour and 24 hours.
Stop Time Input 1: Alternatively to the leakage detection for the heat circuit, the
device may set an alarm if there is not a certain interval of time within the alarm integration time without
an impulse on impulse input 1. Usually, a domestic water meter should not have a flow, e.g. during
night time. If the water meter connected to impulse input 1 is, anyway, permanently emitting impulses,
a leakage is highly probable. This option may only be used if the leakage detection for the heat circuit
is not used.
Stop Time Input 2: Additionally, the device may also set an alarm if there is not a
certain interval of time within the alarm integration time without an impulse on impulse input 2. Usually,
a domestic water meter should not have a flow, e.g. during night time. If the water meter connected to
impulse input 2 is, anyway, permanently emitting impulses, a leakage is highly probable.
Alarm Time: Sets the interval of time per day where the alarm should be active. This
time interval in conjunction with the alarm duration inhibits the permanent activation of the alarm output
(e.g. for an acoustical alarm). Possible alarm times are between 1 minute and 255 minutes.
Alarm Duration: Sets the maximal alarm duration. This duration in conjunction with
the alarm time inhibits the permanent activation of the alarm output (e.g. for an acoustical alarm).
Possible alarm durations are between 1 day and 7 days.
Example for alarm time and alarm duration:
Alarm Time = 30 minutes
Alarm Hold: If the alarm output is e.g. connected to a flow interruption valve, which is
cutting off the flow in case of an alarm, this option should be activated. In this case the valve stays
closed even if the alarm condition is no longer valid, since by interrupting the flow there is no longer a
detectable leakage and the device would normally reset the alarm.
Different month values of the last 24 months are displayed. The monthly log is not loaded automatically
during a standard request, instead the user has to request it separately.
Save Values: Stores the list of end of month values into a text file.
Log Day: The day of the month, at which the month values are registered, may be
programmed with this button.
Read Monthly Log: Reads the monthly log memory of the meter. This is not
performed automatically during a standard request.
The available data logger memory can be split in two parts (EEPROM memory 1 and EEPROM
memory 2) with two different logging time intervals. Both memories are freely programmable.
The content of the EEPROM data logger memory is displayed. This meter may store up to 7040 values
split up in two memory parts. Due to the large size of the EEPROM data logger memory it is not loaded
automatically during a standard request, instead, the user has to request it separately.
Save Values: Saves all values in the list into a text file.
EEPROM Memory Interval: Setting of the EEPROM data logger memory storage
interval.
Set allocation : The partitioning of the memory logger can be defined in percent with a
scroll bar.
A list with the latest 31 events / errors is displayed. The error log is not automatically loaded during a
standard request, instead, it has to be requested separately.

selections are not possible. The position of the new value is after the highlighted value on the right
side.
< Delete <: The selected value of the right hand side list is deleted. Multiple selections are not
possible.
Notes:
• It is not possible to delete the energy value [00] from display loop 1.
• All changes to the right hand side list are not taken unless the user has programmed them using the
Set Values For Display button. The assembly of the display values in the right hand side list is not
sufficient for activating the display loops.
Here the user may enable or disable certain values or loops in the display of the meter (display
loop 2 – 6). Usually the meter displays the display loop1, that is by pressing the user button on the
meter the user cycles through the display values of display loop 1. The setting of display loop 1 is
described in the last chapter. By pressing the user button for a longer time the display switches to
display loop 2 and so on.
Set Values For Display: The values for display loop 2 - 6 shown in the list are
programmed into the device.
Additionally, the user can specify how many months should be displayed in loop 6 (monthly log
display).
Furthermore, the option for the Last Year’s Reading Dates Values / Tariff Values is related to display
loops 2, 4 and 5. These values may only be enabled or disabled in all three display loops,
simultaneously.
The meter has got two programmable tariffs, which are counting energy, time or volume. The values of
the two tariffs are also stored at reading date 1 and reading date 2.
For tariff type t008 and t009 an additional maximum flow temperature is defined. The tariff will only be
activated, if the flow temperature exceeds this maximum flow temperature.
If the user chooses the option Time the meter will not count and display the energy for the respective
tariff, but the time in hours during which the tariff condition was met. With the option Volume, the
volume is counted
Tariff t0c is a time controlled tariff. Values are counted during the on and off time. The turn in times can
be defined for each day of the week,
Tariff t0e is an extern controlled tariff. You define the trigger for the pulse input (pulse1/2 is high or
low).
Tariff 2 Limit: Set type and limit of tariff 2. In addition to tariff 1 tariff 2 offers the
possibility to logically AND tariff 1 and tariff 2.

(HYDRUS) Telegram
The meter offers the user the possibility of compiling a customer-specific M-Bus telegram of his choice.
This customer-specific M-Bus telegram is also used as a radio telegram if the meter is used with a Real
Data Radio Module, i.e. the values to be sent over Real Data Radio are also set on this tab.
If used as a radio telegram, make sure the maximum telegram length does not exceed 108 bytes (see
byte display). If a telegram has been compiled with more than 108 bytes, the program generates a
warning, but the new, customer-specific telegram is still programmed. Such a telegram can be used
for M-Bus reading, but radio transmission does not work.
Set Customer Telegram: The values displayed in the list on the right are programmed
as customer-specific telegram in the meter. The meter is also set so that this telegram is sent
automatically in the event of an M-Bus request. The Real Data Radio Telegram output is also activated
