The Danfoss SonoMeter 40 is a range of
ultrasonic, compact energy meters intended for
measuring energy consumption in heating and
cooling applications for billing purposes. The
meters are designed for remote meter read-out
(AMR).
SonoMeter 40 energy meters consist of
an ultrasonic flow sensor, a pair of Pt500
temperature sensors and a calculator
with integrated circuits for temperature
measurement, flow calculation and energy
calculation.

Communication interfaces Optical interface
Optical interface is integrated into the front
panel of the calculator. It is designed for data
reading via M-bus protocol and parameterization
of the meter using SonoMeter 40 UserConfig
software and optical head OG-1-USB.
The optical interface is activated by pressing
the control button and shuts automatically off
5 minutes after the last pressing button or after
completing data transmission via interface.
Wired M-Bus interface
- M-Bus protocol according to EN13757-3
standard
- 2 wire with polarity reversal protection
- Galvanic insulation
- Current drawn: one M-Bus load (1.52mA)
- Primary or secondary addressing supported
- Primary M-Bus address (M-Bus integrated) last
2 digits of a serial number; if “00” the primary
address is 100.

Data logger capacity
• up to 1480 h - for hourly records
• up to 1130 days - for daily records
• up to 36 last months - for monthly records
• Storage time of measured integrated parameters even if device is disconnected from
power supply: not less than 15 years
All data from archive can be read by means of the remote reading. In addition, data logger records of
monthly parameters can be seen on the display.
When the cooling energy tariff function is activated, in case of a negative temperature differential,
energy will be accumulated in the additional tariff register Q. In this case, energy values are
calculated according to the following formulas:
– when the flow sensor is in the supply line
when Θ1 > Θ2: Q = V ρ (hΤ1-hΤ2), Q = 0
when Θ1 < Θ2: Q = V ρ (hΤ2-hΤ1), Q = 0
– when the flow sensor is in the return line
when Θ1 > Θ2: Q = V ρ (hΤ1-hΤ2), Q = 0
when Θ1 < Θ2: Q = V ρ (hΤ2-hΤ1), Q = 0
