1. General
This manual serves as a reference for users and service personnel of the Danfoss heat cost
1.1 Application
allocators. It describes the use of the SonoHCA heat cost allocators.
The heat cost allocator is a measuring device to record the heat output of radiators in units. Units are apartments, offices, and business, commercial or industrial premises whose heat is supplied through a central heating system or via a conjoint district heating station.
The group of units constitutes one billing unit.
If one billing unit includes units with differences, for example, from a technical standpoint (in the form of different heating systems) or in terms of consumption behaviour (i.e. in the case of industrial premises and apartments), a subdivision of the billing units into unit groups may be necessary.
Each radiator is fitted with a heat cost allocator which records and assesses the heat output of the radiator and displays the consumption value.
1.2 General Guidelines 1.2.1 Hazards and Disposal
The heat cost allocators a re equipped with
respect the transpor t directives applicable in yo ur coun try.
lithium batteries . This type of batte ry falls into the category of ha zardous goods. Please
Handling of Lithium Batteries:
Store in a dry place.
Do not heat to more than 100°C and do not
throw into a fire.
Do not store near a heat source.
Do not store in direct sunlight.
Do not short-circuit.
Do not open or damage.
Do not recharge.
Keep out of reach of children.
1.2.2 Changing the Battery
The heat cost allocator’s battery is soldered. Changing the battery is neither provided for nor permitted.
Disposal
In order to protect the e nvironment, to
reduce waste of natural resources and prevent pollution, the European Uni on
has adopted a directive stipulating that electric al and electronic devices must be recovered by their manufac turers in order to ensure proper destruction or recycling.
Should you dispose of the device yourself, please get information from your local authority on recycling options.
The consumption value is the basis for allocating the heating costs to each unit, which is necessary for the annual billing of the heating costs.
The heat cost allocators are principally used in the following units:
Collective housing buildings.
Offices or administrative buildings.
The typical users are:
Measuring and billing services.
Cooperatives or property managers.
Building service companies, letting agencies.
The heat cost allocators can be installed on:
Sectional radiators.

is opened and / or removed, the electronic detector triggers an error message. During this time, the date of opening of the case, the number of openings and the cumu-lative length of time for which the case was open are saved and may be read using the optical interface or the radio.
1.2.9 Data Collection while the Device is open
The heat cost allocators continue to collect data, even if the electronic detector is activated.
1.3.1 Applications
The heat cost allocators may not be used in the following cases:
Steam heating.

3.2 Operating mode 3.2.1 Cycle
The heat cost allocators SonoHCA operate in a cycle of 4 minutes. Most of the time, the device is in sleeping mode. Every 4 minutes the device is set into operation and operates according to the adjoining diagram.
The clock-pulse generator is a counter which is completely independent from the rest of the program. This counter is designed in a way so that it is impossible to stall the cycle or to skip one or more cycles.
Each cycle follows the adjoining diagram. The measuring and calculating processes are explained in detail later.
The tasks carried out during one cycle are taking approx. 100 ms. This means that the device is in sleeping mode more than 99.8 % of the time. It can be set into operation between two cycles over the optical probe or by pushing the button. In this case it carries out the requested task and then returns to sleeping mode.
In case an optical probe is connected or the button is pushed during the course of the cycle, the respective value is readout at the end of the cycle.
The button can be pushed for an indefinite period of time and the optical probe can be left in its position since the normal function of the device is not impaired by an influence from outside.

3.2 Operating mode
(continuous)
3.2.2 Single Sensor Version with Start Sensor
The start sensor of the single sensor version serves as an ambient temperature sensor which mainly functions during the heating up period.
The start temperature is the threshold temperature of the radiator at which the device always starts to carry out energy ratings. For these ratings, the measured radiator temperature and an assumed ambient temperature of 20° C are used as calculation basis.
3.2.3 Dual Sensor Version
For the dual sensor version basically the same specifications apply as for the single sensor version with start sensor. However, for calculating the room temperature the real temperature, measured by the ambient temperature sensor (corrected via the corresponding radiator-dependent „Kairvalue“), is used as the basis.
3.2.3.1 Heat Accumulation Mode
In order to avoid faulty measuring due to heat accumulation (e.g. in case the radiator is hidden by panels), the device switches from a defined ambient temperature (e.g. 28°C) to the one sensor mode and calculates with an ambient temperature of 20° C.
3.2.4 Comparison of the Measuring Principles
Single sensor device with start sensor measuring principle
For heating systems with tm
≥ 55 °C
min
The heat cost allocator calculates with a set reference temperature of 20 °C
Application: Single sensor devices with start sensor are used in areas where normal ambient temperatures are given. For low temperature heating systems the double sensor device is recommended.
For radiators which are covered or blocked by fix-tures, normally the single sensor devices are used because the double sensor device is not in a posi-tion to capture the current ambient temperature due to the heat accumulation.
double sensor system which then switches over internally to the single sensor mode.
Within one billing unit, only one measuring principle (either single sensor measuring principle with start sensor or double sensor measuring principle) can be used. Mixed fitments or the use of different types of devices in the same billing unit is therefore also not allowed.
The processes for determining the K-value for the single sensor device with start sensor and the double sensor device are identical. It is only the measuring principle that is different.
3.2.5 Temperature Measurement and Calculation
The temperature is measured with an NTC – resistor. For the resistance measurement the discharging time of the capacitor is measured. The measurement is carried out as follows:
3.2.5.1 Measuring of a Resistor, Principle
1. Charging of the capacitor
2. Discharging of the capacitor through the
resistance which is to be measured. At the same time a 16+1 bit-timer starts with the discharge to measure the discharging time
3. As soon as the voltage on the capacitor
terminals reaches a certain value, an interrupt is induced and the timer stops. At the same time the discharging of the capacitor is stopped as well.
After the three mentioned stages, the timer provides a 16-bit-value which corresponds to the discharging time of the capacitor through the resistance which is to be measured. In case the resistance is known (reference resistance), the constant ratio between discharging time and resistance can be assessed.
3.2.5.2 Calculation of the Value of an Unknown Resistance (e.g. sensor resistance)
The capacitor C is loaded at constant current. The interrupt at the end of the discharge is triggered by the same threshold voltage (a fraction of the discharge voltage). If these two conditions are met, the discharge time is directly proportional to the resistance. With a reference resistance R whose exact value is known, it is now possible to
ref
calculate the unknown resistance value Rx with the following equation:

≥ 35 °C

The heat cost allocator calculates with a variable reference temperature T

Application: Double sensor devices are used in areas where precise measuring of the ambient temperature is necessary and/or in low temperature heating systems.
Radiators which are covered or blocked by fix-tures are detected automatically by the
From this equation the self-calibration of the converter can be derived, which is given by measuring the discharging time through the reference resistance.
3.2.5.3 Measuring of the Radiator and Ambient Temperature
The following measurements are carried out during one cycle:
1. Measuring of the reference resistance Rref
2. Measuring of the ambient temperature sensor

The measuring values are calculated with the following formula:
The reference resistance value is defined ex works with a tolerance of 0.5% with 50 ppm. The reference resistance features an excellent temperature and long-term stability.
The capacitor value and the threshold voltage have to remain stable over the whole cycle. However, they can vary at the medium- or long term without causing any failures because the self-calibration of the converter is repeated in every cycle while measuring the reference resistance.

3.3.4 Communication Indicator and Measuring Indicator
The communication indicator displays if the heat cost allocator is currently making a calculation and/or if it communicates internally or externally over the optical or wireless interface.
The rolling display can also be deactivated by a software, i.e. the device operates as in standard menu mode except that only these values and the values of the corresponding sub-menus that have been de-fined in the rolling menu can be displayed by pushing the button. After 2 minutes during which the button has not been pushed, the display goes out.
If the arrow of the communication indicator points inwardly internal communication takes place over the optical or wireless interface.
If the arrow of the communication indicator points outwards external communication takes place over the optical or wireless interface.
If the frame of the communication indicator appears the heat cost allocator has detected a wake-up signal.
If the point indicator appears the heat cost allocator is carrying out a measuring or a calculation.
3.3.5 Real Time Clock and Calendar
The device has a 24 h real time clock and a calendar. However, the change from summer to winter time is not taken into account. The calendar is programmed until December 31
If the current date and time have to be updated over the optical interface or via radio, it is necessary to check the date of the computer first. Date and time of the device aim at those of the computer. If the reading/programming device (computer/PDA/ Smart Phone) has a wrong time, this time will be programmed into the heat cost allocator and suddenly no longer be reached at the usual time, because the time of the heat cost allocator possibly is shifted by several hours.
Important: The time on your readout / programming interface must always be set to winter time
3.3.6 Check code
A special additional feature of the electronic heat cost allocator is the check code function for the post-card mail-in method.
With especially developed algorithms a 5 digit check code is generated out of several device data. With this check code the values stated on the postcards mailed-in by tenants can be cross checked.
2099, including all leap years. The real time clock as well as the date of the heat cost allocator can be readout over the optical interface or via radio and if necessary be updated.
For this check, the following parameters are required:
Identification number.
The date.
The current consumption value.
The check code.
For the verification of the check code Danfoss places all necessary tools (programs, formulas) at the disposal of the authorized personnel.

3.4 Special Functions
3.4.1 Suppression of Summer Counting
The period during which summer counting is suppressed can be programmed by the software.
If the heat cost allocator is in the period of summer counting suppression, consumption measuring is de-activated. If an automatic readout is carried out during this period the temperatures can be read anyway since the temperature measuring is still active.
3.4.2 Annual Reset of the Consumption Value
The function of the annual reset of the cumulated consumption value can be programmed by the soft-ware over the optical interface. One of the following options can be chosen for the reset:
Set Day
Never
Please note that only the cumulated consumption value is reset. All other values are not reset.
3.4.3 Unit Scale and Product Scale
For the heat cost allocators, distinction is made between the unit scale and the product scale. See chapter 7.2 Table of Rating Factors.
3.4.3.1 Advantages of the Unit Scale
If heat cost allocators are used with the same scale on all radiators, this scale is called unit scale. The display values are the same on the different radiators if the heat cost allocators are exposed to the same temperature for the same period of time.
The evaluation of the display values is carried out arithmetically with the rating factors of the calculation software to receive the final consumption values.
Easy and quick installation of the heat cost allocator, no programming necessary.
Possible errors by doing the scaling on site are avoided due to allocation by experts.
3.4.3.2 Advantages of the Product Scale
With the product scale, the radiator rating data are programmed in the heat cost allocator on site. The overall rating factor K is calculated directly in the heat cost allocator and thus the consumption value is displayed immediately.
The actual consumption of each consuming point within one billing unit can be compared easily and quickly on site.
3.5 Parameterization
3.6 Error
A software allows the parameterization over the optical interface.
To protect heat cost allocator against fraud, a password has been integrated into the products, therefore also in the software. The default ‘’installer’’ password ex-factory of the heat cost allocator is ‘’56781234’’, and may be changed by the user.
The heat cost allocator displays an error message with the 3 letters “ Err. ” and a code. If several errors occur at the same time, the different codes are added together.
The error is displayed in the first position of the display menu. It will still be possible to select all the other display menus by pressing the navigation button. If the navigation button is no longer pressed for a period of 2 minutes, the error code will automatically appear again in the first position of a display menu.
Display of an error automatically disappears when the error is no longer present.

4. Installation
4.1 Introduction
4.2 DIN Standard Requirements for the Installation
To guarantee the proper functioning of the heat cost allocator SonoHCA, it is of great importance that it is installed by an expert. On one hand, a constant heat transfer between radiator and heat cost allocator has to be guaranteed. On the other hand, the installation of the heat cost allocators on a large variety of radiator types should be as easy as possible.
The installation can be carried out in two different ways.
The standard device is installed directly on the radiator.
For the wall-mounted version the remote sensor is installed on the radiator and the heat cost al-locator is wall-mounted.
Heat cost allocators can be installed in heating systems where the mean temperature is between the upper operating temperature limit t limit t technical data, see chapter 2.3 Technical data).
and the lower operating temperature
max
(t
min
max
and t
are stated in the
min
The installation of the devices has to be durable and avoid manipulations.
The devices have to be installed in a place where sufficient correlation between the displayed value and the heat output of the radiator is given over a maximum operating range.
Within a billing unit (in case of pre­distribution of the energy consumption: within a users’ group) only heat cost allocators of the same manufacturer and the same type with identical rating systems may be used. Each device type has to be identifiable as such.
For the installation of the heat cost allocators, special fastening-parts kits are available. To avoid faulty installation, we also recommend reading the Kc-data in the data base prior to the installation.
(See chapter 7.2 Table of Rating Factors).
The heat cost allocator is an electronic device which – like all other similar devices – has to be handled with care. It is sensible to electric discharge and contacting certain areas of the PCB. Electric discharge can destroy the device or – even worse - damage it in a way that it fails after an indefinite period of time.
For this reason it is essential in any case to avoid contact with the PCB.
Combinations of radiators and heat cost allocators with a measured value of c >
0.3 in basic condi-tion are not permitted. In exceptional cases c-values of up to 0.4 are permitted within a billing unit if the concerned heating surface does not exceed 25 % of the overall heated surface or if the mean ambient temperature is above 80°C. Heat cost allocators may only be installed to radiators where the c-value is known at the time of billing.
4.3 General Restrictions
Electronic heat cost allocators cannot be used with steam heating, floor heating, ceiling radiant heaters, flap-controlled radiators and electrical radiator.
In case of combined valve- and flap-controlled radiators, the installation of an electronic heat
Convector heaters where the performance can be altered by an electric blower as well as heat towel racks with an electric heating cartridge may only be equipped with an electronic heat cost allocator if the additional electric attachments are dismounted or shut down.
cost allocator is only permitted if the flap control is dismounted or maintained in position „open“.
4.4 Operating Range
SonoHCA can be used in heating systems with the following mean heating medium temperatures:
For single sensor devices with start sensor
A heat cost allocator can be used in heating systems where the suitability of the system is in line with the operating conditions for which the heat cost allocator has been approved.
55°C…105° C for standard heat cost allocator.
55°C…120°C for wall-mounted heat cost
allocator (remote sensor).
For double sensor devices
35°C…105° C for standard heat cost allocators.
55°C…120°C for wall-mounted heat cost
allocators (remote sensor).

4.5 Allocator Installation Position – Standard Installation
The installation position on the radiator is directly related to the type of radiator, its heating power and the heat cost allocator. To guarantee the correct data collection, the heat cost allocators must be installed and used in a certain position in accordance with requirements
The SonoHCA heat cost allocator is always installed in the centre of the overall length (0.5 x BL) of the radiator, at a height of ¾ of
If the height of the radiator is less than (<) 470 mm, the heat cost allocator must be installed at 50% BH.
The radiator’s heat is transmitted directly via the installation back plate to the device’s temperature sensor or to its remote sensor
the overall height (0.75 x BH) measured from the bottom.
If the radiator has a length of more than 3 m, two heat cost allocators must be installed.
General notes:
The spacing for welding the M3 threaded bolts must be 5 cm. Before welding, the lacquer has to be removed from the welding points. It must be ensured that the bolts are welded onto a water-bearing area or a flute.
Only use M3 bolts with a maximum length of 8 mm or there is a risk that the device will
be damaged.
These radiators are considered to be 2 radiators arranged next to each other.
Welding to aluminium radiators is not permitted.
If the radiator has an even number of sections the heat cost allocator should be installed between the middle sections.
If the radiator has an uneven number of sections the device should be installed next to the valve-sided middle section.
Mount the back plate through the 2 oval holes, adjusted to the top edge of the holes.

4.6 Mounting the Remote Sensor
For each version of heat cost allocator, it is possible to plug the connector of the remote sensor into an interface inside the heat cost allocator.
The remote sensor will be automatically detected by the heat cost allocator.
Return the heat cost allocator and plug the connector of the remote sensor into the interface inside the heat cost allocator.
Proceed to the commissioning of the heat cost allocator on the aluminium back plate. Take care
not to stick the cable.
Remark concerning the recognition of the remote sensor:
Once heat cost allocator is fixed with/against the aluminium back plate, the LCD-display will show the following message during few seconds:
Once equipped with a remote sensor, the heat cost allocator will only work for an application with re-mote sensor.
Remote sensor version with 2 m cable. The cable includes a stopper-knot.
Stopper-knot
Insert the remote sensor cable into the groove provided up to the slot of housing.
Place the stopper-knot inside the housing. The knot will avoid any traction on the con nect or.
Once heat cost allocator has recognized the remote sensor, push the seal pre-installed by Danfoss in the slot of the housing. Then press until the seal clicks into the aluminium back plate.
Respect the color code of the radiator sensor and the remote sensor. For Heat cost allocator SonoHCA the radiator sensor and the remote sensor are manufactured in two colors white and yellow.
Once equipped with a remote sensor, the heat cost allocator will only work for an application with remote sensor.
The index FF indicates that the heat cost allocator has recognized the remote sensor.
If the remote sensor is not detected by the device, the index -- will be displayed. The index -- indicates also a standard device with a compact sensor. If the remote sensor is not recognized, check the plug connector in the heat cost allocator.
If the remote sensor is disconnected from the heat cost allocator, an error message will be displayed.
During the commissioning of the heat cost allocator on the aluminium back plate, there are 2 possibilities to turn on the heat cost allocator:
1. By an automatic commissioning during the mounting on the aluminium back plate.
See chapter 5.1 Automatic commissioning
during the installation
By pushing the push button. See chapter
Commisoning by pressing push button.

4.7 Wall Mounting
The heat cost allocator has to be wall-mounted if the overall height of the radiator is less than 250 mm or if, for aesthetical reasons, the heat cost allocator cannot be mounted directly onto the radiator.
In this case, the heat cost allocator is wall­mounted on the side opposite to the valve and at a minimum distance from the radiator of 10 cm.

4.10 Mounting and Sealing
5. Commissioning
After installation of the respective fastening­parts kit to the radiator, the heat cost allocator can be mounted and sealed by the installer as described below:
1. The heat cost allocator is placed at the upper end of the aluminium back plate. Move the heat cost allocator down so that the hooks in the housing fit in the aluminium back plate.
3. Push the seal preinstalled by Danfoss in the slot of the housing, then press until the seal clicks into the aluminium back plate.
Ex-factory the heat cost allocators SonoHCA are in the so-called sleeping mode. In this mode no measuring is carried out and thus no consumption values are calculated. Furthermore the digital display, the radio communication options as well as the device opening detection are deactivated. Only the optical communication interface is available.
The date and time are running in the background.
2. The heat cost allocator is placed on the aluminium back plate in the direction of the arrow.
4. Now the heat cost allocator can only be opened by destroying the seal.
Transition from sleeping to installation mode is achieved by pushing the button once when the heat cost allocator is mounted on the aluminium back plate or by an automatic commissioning during the mounting on the aluminium back plate.
After the commissioning and before leaving a new site, we recommend to perform a radio read out test and to create an installation protocol, to ensure that all the radio communication between the heat cost allocators and the radio central or radio modem was successful.
5.1 Automatic commissioning during the installation
Once heat cost allocator is fixed with/against the aluminium back plate, the LCD-display will show the following message:
The index FF indicates that the heat cost allocator has recognized the remote sensor.
If the remote sensor is not detected by the device, the index -- will be displayed.
The index -- indicates also a standard device with a compact sensor.
This message will be displayed during 5 seconds and after that, the transition from sleeping mode to installation mode will be done automatically.
Transition from sleeping to installation mode is achieved automatically after 5 seconds:
The symbol indicates that the heat cost allocator is in installation mode.
Once installed on the back plate or the wall, the heat cost allocator switches automatically from the installation mode into the operating mode at the second transition of midnight.

This message will be displayed during 2 minutes before the LCD-display will switch off.
Transition from sleeping to installation mode is achieved by pushing the push button during
3 seconds:
The symbol indicates that the heat cost allocator is in installation mode.
Once installed on the back plate or the wall, the heat cost allocator switches automatically into operating mode at the second transition of midnight.
In order to achieve a user-friendly and power­saving radio standby, the radio heat cost allocator features the following different operating modes:
* : SLEEP information will be displayed by pushing the push button.
Transition from sleeping mode to installation mode is achieved by two different ways:
• Pushing the push button once the heat cost allocator is mounted on the aluminium back plate.
• An automatic detection during the mounting on the aluminium back plate. This function

The Wireless M-Bus radio communication interface enables data to be relayed using Wire
less M-Bus radio protocol (EN 13757-4) and complies with open metering system (OMS) specifications version V3.0.1.
The SonoHCA uses one-way radio technology and transmits the consumption data and
saved settings every 120 seconds for short (OMS) or long (walk-by) telegrams.
Since the SonnHCA radio heat cost allocator uses one-way radio technology, it must be
used with a SonoRead 868 mobile data receiver and a smartphone with the SonoAPP software program.
6.1.3 Readout using the Radio Central SonoCollect
The radio central Wireless M-Bus SonoCollect receives radio data from the SonoHCA or from other Wireless M-Bus devices.
As the SonoHCA uses one-way radio technology, it must be used with a SonoCollect Wire-less M-Bus and a PC with the corresponding software program.

7. Rating factors
7.1 Taking Measurements
The value displayed by the heat cost allocator has to be converted to the value of the actual heat output of each radiator. Thereby the design and the performance of the radiator as well as the mode of installation have to be taken into account.
Therefore each radiator has to be identified precisely by taking measurements. The following data have to be established:
Design and make of radiator
Overall length
Overall height
Overall depth
Number of sections
Pitch
In-line configuration
7.1.2 Rating of Radiator
For each radiator type the K-value is calculated according to the following diagram:
7.1.1 Rating of Radiators with Over Length or High Nominal Power
If the radiator has an overall length of approx. 3 m we strongly recommend installing two heat cost allocators.
Under certain circumstances minimal flows might not be noticed on these radiators. The same applies for radiators with an extremely high nominal output of more than 10.0000 watt = 10kW.
At least two heat cost allocators should be installed to these radiators. The standard performance of each radiator is divided by the number of heat cost allocators installed.
Example: Standard performance KQ= 16.000 W = 16 Number of heat cost allocators installed to the radiator = 2 KQ individual = 16 / 2 = 8
The heat cost allocator determines the heat output of the radiator, displays the consumption and records the consumption values on the set day.
The heating medium temperature is captured by the temperature sensor installed to the radiator. Thus the heat output of the radiator is calculated in consideration of the radiator performance.
These calculations are started as soon as the temperature difference between ambient temperature and heating medium temperature is bigger than the parameterised value.
Out of this functional principle the necessity arises to rate the display of the heat cost allocator. For the calculation of the heat output of the radiator it is not sufficient to measure the heating medium temperature. Radiators with different performances also feature different
medium temperature is the same. Furthermore different designs lead to different measuring conditions for the temperature sensor installed to the radiator.
K: Rating factor total KQ: Rating factor for the standard performance
of the radiator, stated in KW. This value is calculated with the data received by taking measurements and the manufacturer’s data.
KC: Rating of the C-value of the radiator
temperature sensor. For each type of radiator this value is measured on the test rig. The respective KC-value can be taken from the table with the rating factors.

Excerpt
Rating factor (Chapter 3.36):
With the following rating factors the display values of each heat cost allocator can be converted into consumption values which are suitable to be used for billing the heating costs according to consumption.
Rating factor KQ for the heat output of the radiator (Chapter 3.37 and 5.3.1):
The rating factor KQ is the (non-dimensional) numerical value of the standard performance of the radiator stated in watts or kilowatts.
The thermal output of a radiator in a thermally stable test booth at flow, return and air temperatures of 90 °C, 70 °C and 20 °C, the air temperature being measured at a height of 0,75 m above the floor and a distance of 1,5 m in front of the heating surface, is the reference output relevant for the rating factor KQ (reference system Q(60 K)).
Rating factor KC for the thermal coupling of the sensors (Chapitre 3.38 et 5.3.2):
The rating factor Kc takes into account the different thermal couplings to the temperature sensors and the different designs of the effective heating surfaces.
Kc is calculated as the quotient of the basic counting rate RB and the counting rate RE at the temperatures of the sensors on the radiator to be rated operated at base condition:
Rating factor KT for rooms with low design ambient temperatures which deviate from the basic reference air temperature (Chapter 3.39)
For heat cost allocators with the single sensor measuring system, the rating factor KT takes into account the change in performance and the change in temperature of the sensors at design ambient temperatures which are lower than the reference temperature.
Resulting Rating Factor K (Chapter 5.3.3)
The overall rating factor K is received by multiplying the individual rating factors:
