MULTICAL 302 is a static heat meter, cooling meter or combined heat/cooling meter based on the ultrasonic
principle. The meter is intended for energy measurement in almost all types of thermal installations where water is
used as the energy-conveying medium.
According to EN 1434 MULTICAL
production and initial verification in our factory the meter is treated as three separate units or ”sub-assemblies” (flow
sensor, calculator and temperature sensor pair) but after delivery the units must not be separated unless by an
accredited laboratory.
If flow sensor, calculator or sensor pair have been separated and the seals broken, the meter is no longer valid for
billing purposes. Furthermore, the factory guarantee no longer applies.
MULTICAL
302 employs ultrasonic measuring technique, ASIC and microprocessor technology. A single board
construction comprises all calculating and flow measuring circuits, which provides a compact and rational design and,
in addition, exceptionally high measuring accuracy and reliability is obtained.
Volume is measured using bidirectional ultrasonic technique based on the transit time method, proven a long-term
stable and accurate measuring principle. Two ultrasonic transducers are used to send sound signals with as well as
against the flow. The ultrasonic signal travelling with the flow reaches the opposite transducer first. The time difference
between the two signals can be converted into flow velocity and thereby also volume.
302 can be designated a "hybrid instrument", also called a compact meter. During
The temperature sensor type is Pt500 according to DS/EN 60751. Accurately matched Pt500 sensors measure the
temperatures in inlet and outlet pipes. MULTICAL
302 is supplied with a ø5.2 mm Pt500 sensor pair. One temperature
sensor is mounted in the flow sensor from the factory and the other sensor is typically mounted as short direct sensor
in e.g. a ball valve.
The accumulated heat energy and/or cooling energy can be displayed in kWh, MWh or GJ, all in the form of seven
significant digits and measuring unit. The display has been specially designed to obtain long lifetime and sharp
contrast in a wide temperature range.
Other reading options are: accumulated water consumption, operating hour counter, current temperature
measurements, current flow and power readings. Furthermore, MULTICAL
302 can display loggings, target day data,
error hour counter, max. flow, max. power, information code and current date/time.
MULTICAL
302 is powered by an internal A-cell lithium battery with 6-8 years' lifetime or by two A-cells with 12-16
years' lifetime.
MULTICAL
302 is available with communication for either wired M-Bus and/or Wireless M-Bus.
In designing MULTICAL® 302 great importance has been attached to user comfort and compact external
measurements, which makes it suitable for a wide range of applications.
This technical description has been written with a view to enabling operations managers, meter installers, consulting
engineers and distributors to utilize all functions comprised in MULTICAL
®
302. Furthermore, the description is
targeted at laboratories performing tests and verification.
When the two mechanical locks have been
released, remove the top cover from the
base.
Reassembling the meter the seals must be re-established using 15 x 15 mm void labels. Note: If the meter is used for
billing, this is a legal seal. Alternatively, Kamstrup's seal no. 2008-727 can be used.
The stated minimum temperatures are only
related to the type approval.
The meter has no cut-off for low temperature
and thus measures down to 0.01°C and 0.01 K.

Among other things the meter's current consumption depends on the integration frequency of the meter. A Fast
Response meter integrates every 8 seconds and uses almost twice as much current as a Normal Response meter. This
means that the battery life is halved.
Normal Response cannot be changed to Fast Response and vice versa after delivery.
3.2.2 Configuration during setup of country code
The last two characters of the type number are called the country code. The code is used for setting up language of text
on label e.g. class 2 or 3, dynamic range, pressure stage PN16 or PN25, and indicates approval and verification marks.

Internal configuration overview
3.6.4
See instructions no. 5508-825 concerning update of configuration.
Prior to installation of MULTICAL® 302 the heating system should be flushed while a fitting piece replaces the meter.
Remove the adhesive wafers from the meter’s inlet and outlet and mount the flow sensor with couplings. New fibre
gaskets in original quality must be used. The flow sensor must be mounted with the arrow pointing in the flow
direction.
If other couplings than the original ones from Kamstrup A/S are used you must make sure that the threaded lengths of
the couplings do not prevent proper tightening of the sealing surface.
Correct mounting of flow sensor in inlet or outlet appears from the display.
the meter is configured for "flow
sensor in inlet pipe"
the meter is configured for "flow
sensor in outlet pipe"
In order to prevent cavitation the operating pressure at the flow sensor must be min. 1 bar at qp and min. 2 bar at qs.
This applies to temperatures up to approx. 80 °C. See paragraph 6.5 for further information on operating pressure.
When the installation has been completed, water flow can be turned on. The valve on the inlet side of the flow sensor
must be opened first.
The flow sensor must not be exposed to lower pressure than the ambient pressure (vacuum).
Permissible operating conditions
Ambient temperature: 5…55 °C (indoors). Max. 30 °C for optimum battery lifetime.
Temperature of medium: 2…130 °C with calculator mounted on a wall
15…90 °C with calculator mounted on flow sensor
System pressure: 1…16 bar or 1…25 bar depending on the meter's marking
Service
When the meter has been mounted in the heating system neither welding nor freezing is allowed. Dismount the meter
from the heating system before starting such work.
In order to facilitate replacement of the meter, closing valves should be mounted on both sides of the meter.
Under normal operating conditions no pipe strainer is required in front of the meter.
MULTICAL® 302 requires neither straight inlet nor straight outlet in order to fulfil the Measuring Instruments Directive
(MID) 2004/22/ EC and EN 1434:2007. A straight inlet section will only be necessary in case of heavy flow
disturbances before the meter. We recommend you to follow the guidelines of CEN CR 13582.
Optimal position can be obtained if you take the below-mentioned installation methods into consideration:
B Recommended flow sensor position
C Unacceptable position due to risk of air
build-up
Figure 3
For general information concerning installation see CEN report DS/CEN/CR 13582, Heat meter installation. Instructions
in selection, installation and use of heat meters.
D Acceptable position in closed systems
E A flow sensor should not be placed
immediately after a valve, except for
block valves, which must be fully open

Mounting of couplings as well as temperature sensor mounted in MULTICAL
®
302 flow sensor.
Flow and temperature sensor can be installed in both PN16 and PN25 installations. Enclosed couplings, if any, are
only intended for PN16. Suitable PN25 couplings must be used for PN25 installations.
In connection with installations it has proved practical to work with minimum the pressure mentioned below:
Table 3
The purpose of recommended back pressure is to avoid measuring errors as a result of cavitation or air in the water.
It is not necessarily cavitation in the sensor itself, but also bubbles from cavitating pumps and regulating valves
mounted before the sensor. It can take some time until such bubbles have been dissolved in the water.
Furthermore, water can include dissolved air. The amount of air which can be dissolved in water depends on pressure
and temperature. This means that air bubbles can be formed due to falling pressure, e.g. caused by a velocity rise in a
contraction above the sensor.
The risk of these factors affecting accuracy is reduced by maintaining a fair pressure in the system.
In relation to above table, the steam pressure at the current temperature must also be taken into consideration. Table
3 applies to temperatures up to approx. 80 °C. Furthermore, it must be taken into account that the above-mentioned
pressure is the back pressure at the sensor, and that the pressure is lower in a contraction than before
one (cones
among other things). This means that pressure measured elsewhere in the system may be different from the pressure
at the sensor.
This can be explained by combining the continuity equation and Bernoulli’s equation. The total energy from the flow
2
will be the same at any cross section. It can be reduced to: P + ½ρv
= constant.
When dimensioning a flow sensor you must take this into account, especially if the sensor is used within the scope of
EN 1434 between q
and qs, and in case of heavy contractions of the pipe.
In one side of the meter three cables appear. One cable is connected to the flow sensor. The other two cables are
temperature sensors, connected to the meter. If one temperature sensor is mounted in the flow sensor, this sensor is
called Tm and the other sensor is called To. See examples below:
MULTICAL® 302 is configured for flow sensor mounted in either inlet
outlet pipe. The table below indicates installation conditions of:
MULTICAL® 302 has been designed and CE-marked according to EN 1434 Class A (corresponding to Electromagnetic
environment: Class E1 of the Measuring Instruments Directive) and can thus be installed in both domestic and
industrial environments.
All control cables must be drawn separately and not
inducing electromagnetic interference. There must be a distance of min. 25 cm between signal cables and other
installations.
parallel to e.g. power cables or other cables with the risk of
6.8 Climatic conditions
MULTICAL® 302 is designed for indoor installation in non-condensing environments with ambient temperatures from
5…55 °C, but max. 30 °C for optimum battery lifetime. However, the flow sensor is specially protected against humidity
and tolerates condensing environment.
Protection class IP65 for the calculator allows splashes of water, but the calculator does not withstand permanent
water/humidity impact or submergence.
Protection class IP68 for the flow sensor allows permanent condensation and submergence.
MULTICAL 302 uses time-based integration, which means that calculations of accumulated volume and energy are
carried out at fixed time intervals independent of current water flow. In normal mode the integration interval of

”Test mode”
In "test mode" MULTICAL
302 passes through a 4-second integration sequence. During this sequence water flow is
measured at half-second intervals. Inlet and outlet temperatures are measured in the middle of the sequence and at
the end of the sequence energy and volume are calculated. All display readings are updated at 4-second intervals.
If you press the front button for 5 seconds the display reverts to energy reading. Alternatively, the display reverts to
energy reading after 9 hours in test mode.
”Display on”
Press the front button to switch on the display. If you leave the display at other readings than energy, it automatically
reverts to the primary energy indication after 4 minutes, and after 4 more minutes without touching the button the
display switches off.
Tolerance of time indications
The timing of the measuring sequences can vary approx. ± 3 % in order to secure correct synchronisation with data
communication.
Both in the display and during data reading each energy type is uniquely defined, e.g.
Cooling energy: E3 = V1 (T2-T1)k
is the heat coefficient of water, which is calculated according to the formula of EN 1434-1:2007
7.2 Energy calculation
MULTICAL 302 calculates energy on the basis of the formula stated in EN 1434-1:2007, which uses the international
temperature scale issued in 1990 (ITS-90) and the pressure definition of 16 bar.
In a simplified form the energy calculation can be expressed as: Energy = V x ∆Θ x k. The calculator always calculates
energy in [Wh], and then converts the value to the selected measuring unit.
E [Wh] =
E [kWh] = E [Wh] / 1,000
E [MWh] = E [Wh] / 1,000,000
E [GJ] = E [Wh] / 277,780
V

is the measured temperature difference
V x ∆
Heat energy: E1 = V1(T1-T2)k
k
(identical with the energy formula of OIML R75-1:2002)
Θ x k x 1,000
∆Θ = inlet temperature – outlet temperature
Cooling energy (E3):
∆Θ = outlet temperature – inlet temperature
Note: In case of temperature sensor error ΔΘ is set at 0.00 K, which causes the meter's energy calculation to stop. A
sensor error also stops volume accumulation. Energy calculation and volume accumulation continue as soon as the
error has been remedied. Please note that the error will remain visible in the info-event-counter if static info codes
have been selected (until the error has been deleted via METERTOOL HCW), although the error has been corrected and
the meter counts again.
Kamstrup can supply an energy calculator for check measurement:
MULTICAL 302 operates with 4 different energy formulas, E1, E3, E8 and E9, which are all calculated parallel with
each integration no matter how the meter is configured. E8 and E9 are used as basis for calculation of average
temperatures in inlet and outlet pipes only, whereas E1 and E3 are used for heat and cooling measurement
respectively.
7.3.1 E1 and E3
Energy types E1 and E3 are described by application examples below.
Application A

selected during Config.

Flow sensor V1 is placed in inlet or outlet as
selected during Config.

T1:Inlet or T 2:Outlet
Cooling energy: E3 = V1(T2-T1)k
T2:Inlet or T1:Outlet
Flow sensor V1 is placed in inlet or outlet as
selected during Config.
E8 and E9 are used as a basis for calculation of volume-based average temperatures in inlet and outlet pipes
respectively. With every volume increase (every 0.01 m
3
or 0.001 m3) the registers are increased by the product of m3 x
°C, which makes E8 and E9 suitable for calculation of volume-based average temperature.
E8 and E9 can be used for average calculation during any period of time as long as the volume register is read at the
same time as E8 and E9.

MULTICAL 302 registers maximum flow values and maximum power values on a yearly as well as a monthly basis. The
registration can be read via data communication or via the display in ”TECH mode”.
Max. registration includes the following flow and power values with indication of date:
Type of registration:
Max. this year (since latest target date MM.DD)
Max. yearly data, up to latest 15 years
Max. this month (since latest target date DD)
Max. monthly data, up to latest 24 months
All max. values are calculated as the highest average of a number of current flow or power measurements. The average
period used for all calculations can be selected in the interval 1...1440 min. in one minute leaps. (1,440 min. = 24
hours).
Average period and target date must be stated in the order or reconfigured by means of METERTOOL HCW. Unless
otherwise stated in the order, average period will be set at 60 min. and the target date applying to the selected delivery
code will be used, normally the first day of each month or first January every year.
At the end of a year or a month max. values are saved in the data logger, and the current max. registers are “reset”
according to selected target date and the meter’s internal clock and calendar.
Lines above and below the month indication
show that monthly data are displayed.
Lines above and below the year indication
show that yearly data are displayed.
Inlet and outlet temperatures are measured by means of an accurately matched Pt500 sensor pair. During each
temperature measurement MULTICAL
approx. 0.5 mA. Two measurements are carried out in order to suppress mains voltage picked up via sensor cables (50
Hz or 60 Hz, depending on country code). Furthermore, current measurements are made by internal reference resistors
in order to secure optimum measuring stability.
The display presents inlet and outlet temperatures as well as temperature difference in the range 0.00 °C to 155.00 °C.
Inlet or outlet temperatures below 0 °C are displayed as 0.00 °C and temperatures above 155 °C are displayed as
155.00 °C. When the temperature sensors are outside measuring range, Info=8 (inlet) or Info=4 (outlet) is set.
At negative temperature difference (inlet < outlet) the temperature difference is displayed with a negative sign and
cooling energy is calculated (provided that the meter has been configured for cooling metering).
Note: When Info = 4 or 8, the meter's energy calculation and volume accumulation stop.
302 sends measuring current through each sensor. For Pt500 the current is
7.6.1 Measuring current and power
Measuring current is only sent through the temperature sensors during the short duration of the temperature
measurement. The effective power that is deposited in the sensor elements is thus very small, and its influence on
self-heating of the temperature sensors is less than 1/1000 K.
MULTICAL 302 constantly monitors a number of important functions. If a serious error occurs in measuring system or
installation, a flashing “info” will appear in the display. The ”Info” field keeps flashing as long as the error exists no
matter which reading you choose. The ”Info” field automatically disappears when the reason for the error has been
removed.
However, configuration for ”Manual reset of info codes” (static info codes) is possible. If ”Manual reset of info codes”
has been selected, info codes will remain in the display until they have been manually reset).

If more than one info code appear at a time, the sum of info codes is displayed. If e.g. both temperature sensors are
outside measuring range, info code 12 (info codes 4+8) is displayed.
Info codes 4 and 8 are set when the temperature falls below 0.00 °C or exceeds 155.00 °C. Info codes 4 and 8 are also
set for short-circuited and disconnected sensors.
Note: If Info = 4 or 8, the meter's energy calculation and volume accumulation stop.
Enumeration takes place every time the info code is
changed (the info code is added to the info-event
counter and data logged when it has remained
present for minimum an hour).

7.7.4 Transport state
The meter leaves the factory in transport state, i.e. the info codes are active in the display, but not in the data logger.
This prevents ”info-event” from counting during transportation and non-relevant data from appearing in the info
logger. The first time the meter enumerates the volume register after installation, the info code automatically becomes
active in the data logger (after one hour).
If the meter has built-in wM-Bus communication, the radio transmitter will be switched off when the meter is in
transport state.
MULTICAL 302 has a permanent memory (EEPROM), in which the results from various data loggers are saved. The
meter includes the following data loggers:
Data logging interval Data logging depth Logged value
Yearly logger 15 years Counter register
Monthly logger 24 months Counter register
Daily logger 460 days Counter register
Hourly logger 960 hours Counter register
Info logger 50 Events (36 events can be displayed) Info code and date
Config. logger 25 config. changes New config. and date
Loggers are static ones. Therefore, register types and logging intervals cannot be changed. When the last record has
been written into the EEPROM the oldest one will be overwritten.
The meter only permits 25 reconfigurations, which means that the config. logger cannot be overwritten (unless the seal
is broken).
7.8.1 Yearly, monthly, daily and hourly loggers
The following registers are logged every year and every month on target date. Furthermore, the daily registers are
logged at midnight and the hourly registers are logged every hour.
All the below registers are logged as counter registers.
Register type Description

can be read by means of the PC program LogView HCW.
7.8.3 Configuration logger
Every time configuration is changed, date, energy and the new config. are logged. Thus, it is possible to data read the
latest 25 configuration changes as well as the date the change was made. The meter only permits 25 config. changes,
unless the legal seal is broken.

MULTICAL 302 is fitted with an easily readable LC-display comprising 8 digits, measuring units and an information
field. Energy and volume readings use 7 digits and corresponding measuring units, whereas 8 digits are used to
display e.g. the meter number.
If the push-button has not been activated for 4 minutes, the display switches off. When the display is off, three lines
will appear in the right side of the display every 32 seconds in ”normal mode” or every 8 seconds in ”fast mode”. In
order to activate the display you press the push-button.
Basically accumulated energy is displayed. Activating the push-button, the display immediately switches to other
readings. The display automatically returns to energy reading four minutes after the latest activation of the pushbutton, and after four more minutes without activation of the push-button the display switches off in order to save
current.
The meter uses four different loops for four different user situations: User loop, Tech loop, Setup loop and Test loop. It
is only possible to display one loop at a time.
8.1 Select display loop
By means of the push-button on the front of the meter you can choose between four display loops. No matter which
display you have selected you can change to User-loop by pressing the push-button for 5 s until
”1-User” is displayed and then releasing the button. If the button is pressed for 7 s instead, ”2-Tech” is displayed, and
if you release the push-button now, you have access to Tech loop.
When you receive the meter it is in "Transport State", from which you access Setup loop (depending on country code)
by pressing the push-button for 9 seconds and then releasing the button. When the meter has registered its first
volume accumulation, either 0.01 m
from ”Transport State” to ”Normal State”, from which Setup loop cannot be accessed unless the seal at the back of the
meter is broken and the installation switch activated.
There is only access to Test loop if the Test seal is broken and the Test switch activated.

From the three top loops the meter automatically reverts to energy (heat energy or cooling energy, depending on the
meter's configuration) 4 min. after the last activation of the push-button.
The individual display loops are described below.
8.2 USER loop
User loop is the primary loop, which is accessible when the meter has been installed and is in normal operation. The
loop includes legal and most used readings. User loop is primarily intended for the user of the meter. See paragraph
3.4 for more details.
8.3 TECH loop
Tech loop is primarily for technicians and other persons who are interested in viewing further data. Tech loop displays
all legal registers, other important registers as well as logged data (see paragraph 7.8 for data loggers).
Tech loop comprises everything that the meter can display. Tech loop is displayed when the front key has been
pressed continuously for 7 s The content of Tech loop is not

8.4 SETUP loop
Setup loop comprises everything that can be changed in the meter. Setup loop is no longer available, when the meter
has registered its first volume accumulation or if you exit via the ”EndSetup” function.
Setup-loop can be enabled again by breaking the seal and activating the switch. In that case Setup is locked by
”EndSetup” or automatically 4 min. after the last activation of the button.
In Setup-loop selected configurations of the meter can be changed:

If the meter is set to be a inlet meter, the text "inlet"
is displayed. In order to change the setting, press
displayed and then ”Inlet” flashes. Press the button
once and "Outlet" is displayed. If you want to save
the setting, press the but
”OK” appears in the display.
Outlet
If the meter is set to be a outlet
"Outlet" is displayed. In order to change the setting,
save the setting, press the but
until ”OK” appears in the display.
If you change the energy unit setting in Setup loop you must be aware that the change can influence the most
significant digits of the display. If for instance you change from GJ with 2 decimals to GJ with 3 decimals, the most
significant digit will disappear. The same applies if you change from kWh without decimals to kWh with 1 decimal. And
conversely the least significant digit disappears if e.g. you change from kWh with 1 decimal to kWh without decimals.
See examples below:
GJ with 2 decimals (B=2)
This is an example of how the energy reading E1 can
appear – counted in GJ.

8.5 TEST loop
Test loop is intended for laboratories and others who are to verify the meter (see paragraph 14 for further details on
Test).
In principle this is the same resolution as in example
3, but energy is now counted in MWh.
For more than 20 years ultrasonic measurement has proved the most long-term stable measuring principle for heat
measurement. Experience with ultrasonic meters in operation as well as repeated reliability tests carried out in
Kamstrup’s accredited long-term test equipment and at AGFW in Germany have documented the long-term stability of
ultrasonic meters.
9.2 Principles
The thickness of a piezoceramic element changes when exposed to an electric field (voltage). If the element is
influenced mechanically, it generates a corresponding electric charge. Therefore, the piezoceramic element can
function as both transmitter and receiver.
Within ultrasonic flow measuring there are two main principles: the transit time method and the Doppler method.
The Doppler method is based on the frequency change which occurs when sound is reflected by a moving particle. This
is very similar to the effect you experience when a car drives by. The sound (the frequency) decreases as the car passes
by.
9.3 Transient time method
The transient time method used in MULTICAL® 302 utilizes the fact that it takes an ultrasonic signal sent in the
opposite direction of the flow longer to travel from transmitter to receiver than a signal sent in the same direction as
the flow.
The transient time difference of a flow sensor is very small (nanoseconds). Therefore, the time difference is measured
as a phase difference between the two 1 MHz sound signals in order to obtain the necessary accuracy.
The sound path is parallel to
the measuring pipe and the
sound signal is sent from the
transducers via reflectors.
9.5 Flow limits
In the meter’s working range from min. flow cutoff and far beyond qs there is a linear connection between the flow rate
and the measured water flow.
In practice the highest possible water flow through the meter will be limited by the pressure in the system or possible
cavitation due to too low back pressure.
®
If the flow is lower than min. cutoff or negative, MULTICAL
According to EN 1434 the upper flow limit qs is the highest flow at which the flow sensor may operate for short periods
of time (<1h/day, <200h/year) without exceeding max. permissible errors. MULTICAL
limitations during the period, when the meter operates above qp. Please note, however, that high flow velocities may
cause cavitation, especially at low static pressure. See paragraph 6.5 for further details on operating pressure.
MULTICAL 302 comes with fixed (soldered) Pt500 temperature sensors according to EN 60751 (DIN/IEC 751).
A Pt500 temperature sensor is a platinum sensor, which has a nominal ohmic resistance of 500.000 Ω
at 0.00 °C and 692.528 Ω at 100.00 °C. All ohmic resistance values are laid down in the international standard IEC 751
applying to Pt100 temperature sensors. The ohmic resistance values of Pt500 sensors are five times higher. The table
below shows resistance values of Pt500 sensors in [Ω] for each degree Celsius:
MULTICAL 302 comes with a ø5.2 mm Pt500 sensor pair (matched sensors) with 1.5 m silicone cable. This sensor
type can be used as direct sensor using a coupling and an O-ring and as pocket sensor to be mounted in a sensor
pocket.
One temperature sensor is mounted in the flow sensor from the factory. The other sensor ought to be mounted as
direct sensor. Alternatively, both sensors must be mounted in sensor pockets as symmetrical sensor installation gives
the best measuring result. If one of the temperature sensors is not to be mounted in the flow sensor, it has to be
mounted within a distance of max. 12 cm from the outlet of the flow sensor instead.
The enclosed plastic coupling can be removed, thus allowing the sensor to be used in a sensor pocket. Please note
that not all types of couplings can be removed.
Asymmetrical sensor installation (one direct sensor and one pocket sensor) is only advisable where national
regulations allow this, and never in systems with low differential temperature and/or low water flow.
Note: In Germany ”EichOrdnung” EO-1988 stipulates that in new installations it is only permissible to use direct
temperature sensors for heat meters with pipe diameter DN 25 or less. Replacing heat meters in existing installations it
can in some cases be permitted to use pocket sensors in small heat meters; sensor type versus pocket type must,
however, appear from ”Bestandsliste der verwendeten kurzen Tauchhülsen”.
The temperature sensor which is mounted in the flow sensor from the factory has no marking on the sensor cable. The
other sensor, which is marked with a green plastic ring, must be mounted in the "opposite" pipe compared to the flow
sensor.
If the display shows that the flow sensor is to be
mounted in the outlet pipe, the sensor with the green
plastic ring must be mounted in the inlet pipe. See the
table in paragraph 6.5 for further information.
Slide the enclosed plastic coupling into place from the
end of the sensor tube until you feel a click when the
coupling has reached the first knurling.
The coupling must not be pushed further down than the
first knurling.
10.2.1 Specification of coupling
No matter where the direct sensor is installed it is very
important that you observe the tolerances stated in the
drawing to the left. If not, the O-ring may not provide
correct sealing.
If the sensors are to be mounted as pocket sensors, dismount the temperature sensor which is mounted in the flow
sensor and remove the plastic coupling from the sensor. Subsequently, mount a blind plug in the flow sensor.
Furthermore, the blind plug is suitable for removing the O-ring
Important: It is not possible to change the battery on MC302
11 Power supply
MULTICAL® 302is powered by3.6 VDC from 1 or 2 built-in batteries, according to the type ordered.
11.1 Built-in A-cell lithium battery
The A-cell lithium battery is sufficient to power MULTICAL® 302 for a 6-year period of operation. A-cell lithium batteries
include 0.96 g lithium each and are thus not
subject to transport restrictions.
11.2 Built-in 2 x A-cell lithium battery
2 x A-cell lithium battery must be selected for MULTICAL® 302 if a battery lifetime of 12-16 years is required.
The 2 x A-cell lithium batteries contain 2 x 0.96 g lithium each and are thus not
MULTICAL 302 offers two different forms of communication, namely wired M-Bus or Wireless M-Bus.
12.1 Wired M-Bus
If the meter is supplied with built-in wired M-Bus, M-Bus protocol according to EN 13757-3:2013 is used. Connection
to the M-Bus master is established via the fixed 1.5 m 2-wire cable. Connection is independent of polarity and the MBus interface is galvanically separated from the rest of the meter.
The communication speed with automatic baud rate detection is 300 or 2400 Baud. Both primary and secondary
addressing is supported. Current consumption is 1 unit load (1.5 mA).
Reading intervals down to one hour do not influence the specified battery lifetime, whereas reading intervals down to 5
minutes halves the battery lifetime.
We recommend a communication speed of 2400 Baud as the current consumption is higher at a communication speed
of 300 Baud.

Internal data communication in MULTICAL 302 is based on the Kamstrup Meter Protocol (KMP) which provides a fast
and flexible reading structure and also fulfils future requirements to data reliability.
The KMP protocol is used in all Kamstrup consumption meters launched from 2006 onwards. The protocol is used for
the optical eye.
The KMP protocol has been designed to handle point to point communication in a master/slave system (e.g. a bus
system) and is used for data reading of Kamstrup energy meters.
Software and parameter protection
The meter’s software is implemented in a Flash and cannot be changed, neither deliberately nor by mistake.
Legal parameters cannot be changed via data communication.
Software conformity
Software check sum, based on CRC16, is available via data communication and in the display.
Integrity and authenticity of data
All data parameters include type, measuring unit, scaling factor and CRC16 check sum.
Every produced meter includes a unique identification number.
Two different formats are used for communication between master and slave. Either a data frame format or an
application acknowledgement.
302 Data Protocol
• A request from master to slave is always sent in a data frame
• The response from the slave can either be sent in a data frame or as an application acknowledgement
The data frame is based on the OSI model using the physical layer, the data link layer and the application layer.
address
The protocol is based on half duplex serial asynchronous communication with the setup: 8 data bits, no parity and 2
stop bits. The data bit rate is 1200 or 2400 baud. CRC16 is used in both request and response.
Data is transferred byte for byte in a binary data format, in which the 8 data bits represent one byte of data.

Utilities and other relevant companies who want to develop their own communication driver for the KMP protocol can
order a demonstration program in C# (.net based) as well as a detailed protocol description (in English language).
The optical eye can be used for data communication via the optical interface. The optical eye is placed on the front of
the integrator just above the display as shown in the picture below. Please note that the optical eye includes a very
strong magnet, which should be covered by a protection plate when not in use.

302 does not include a metal plate, which can retain the reading head's magnet. Therefore, the optical
In connection with prolonged data readings, reading of data loggers, or if you want the optical reading head to be
retained on the meter for other reasons, you can use a transparent holder, which is clicked onto the meter.
Different variants of the optical eye (with USB-plug and 9-pole D-Sub plug) appear from the list of accessories (see
paragraph 3.2.3).
13.2.1 Power-saving in connection with the optical eye
In order to limit the power consumption of the circuit around the optical eye, the circuit is not permanently switched
on.
It is activated by pressing the key. The circuit will remain on 4 minutes after the last activation of the button.
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.

Subsequently, the calculator is tested separately by means of precision resistors and the meter's built-in "Autointegration". 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.

14.2.3 Auto-integration
The purpose of auto-integration is to test the calculator’s accuracy. During auto-integration the water flow through the
meter must be cut off to make it possible to read the volume and energy counted during auto-integration without the
meter continuing normal counting in the registers afterwards.
At the beginning of an auto-integration the meter receives a serial data command with test volume and number of
integrations over which the meter is to distribute the volume.

After auto-integration all volume and energy registers – incl. the high-resolution test registers – have been enumerated
by the given volume and the calculated energies. Furthermore, the average of the temperatures measured during autointegration has been saved in two registers, ”T1 average inlet temperature” and ”T2 average outlet temperature”.
For calculation of accuracy and precision the below-mentioned registers can be read after auto-integration:
302 the high-resolution test registers cannot be separately reset, so the test must be based on the
Standing start/stop is a method used for testing the flow sensor’s accuracy. During the test the meter must be
mounted in a flow test stand. The flow through the sensor is cut off. Subsequently, water flow is added for a certain
period, during which the water passing through the sensor is collected. Having switched off the flow the volume of the
collected water is compared to the volume counted by the meter. In general, standing start/stop requires bigger test
volume than flying start/stop.

“Flying start/stop” is the most frequently used method for testing the accuracy of flow sensors. During the test the
meter must be mounted in a flow test stand and there is constant water flow through the sensor.
Verification pulses, as described in paragraph 14.2.1, can be directly used for the test stand if it is designed to control
the start/stop synchronisation. Alternatively, Pulse Tester, type 66-99-279, can be used as external start/stop pulse
counter.
As the meter calculates volume and energy every four seconds in test mode (see paragraph 14.1.1), the verification
pulses will also be updated every four seconds as described in paragraph 14.2.1. It is important to allow for this time
interval, which means that the test duration from start to stop must be so long that the update time does not influence
the measuring uncertainty to any very considerable extent.
During test and verification the heat meter’s energy calculation is compared to the ”true energy”, which is calculated
according to the formula of EN 1434-1:2007 or OIML R75:2002.
For control calculations Kamstrup can supply an energy calculator:
The true energy at the most frequently used verification points is indicated in the table below.

In this menu the built-in clock in the meter can be read out and adjusted either manually or by setting the meter to the
clock of the PC where METERTOOL HCW is running. It is only possible to write to a meter in “Setup Loop”.
15.2.5 Communication on/off (Advanced Mode)
In this menu the M-Bus radio transmitter can be switched on or off. This is useful if the meter is being transported e.g.
by air.
15.2.6 Configuration log (Advanced Mode)
Displays how many times the meter configuration has been changed since the first configuration. The maximum
number of configuration changes is 25.
This menu comprises three different types of reset.
1. Normal Reset
This reset does not zero any registers. The data logger structure implemented in the meter permits logging at
intervals: hour, day, month, year. Furthermore, info events and configuration events are logged. In addition to
the logs mentioned, which are dedicated to reading, a backup log, which is used in case of voltage failure or
reset, is logged. ”Normal Reset” updates the backup log, the meter restarts and restores the configuration
parameters. It may be necessary to perform a ”Normal Reset” if the configuration parameters are changed as a
”Normal Reset” restores the configuration parameters, which means that the meter registers the changes.
2. Data logger reset
This reset zeroes the meter's data protocols, including yearly, monthly, daily and hourly logs as well as info
code and configuration log.
3. Static info code reset
If the meter has been configured for ”Manual reset of info codes”, the info code remains visible in the meter's
display until a ”Static info code reset” has been performed. If the meter has been configured with ”Dynamic
info codes”, however, the info code disappears when the error has been corrected. A ”Static info code reset”
does not reset the info code logger.
15.2.8 Leave transport state (Advanced Mode)
If the meter has not yet been commissioned and no water has passed through the flow sensor, the meter is still in
Transport state. If needed, the meter can be taken out of Transport state by clicking “Yes” to leave “Transport state”.
15.2.9 Autointegration (Advanced Mode)
Using this feature you will have to either connect two known
(precision) resistors to the temperature sensor inputs of the
meter or use the existing connected temperature sensors and
keep them at two known temperatures e.g. boiling water = 100°C
and icy water = 0°C.
Thus, you can simulate energy consumption and thereby verify
the energy calculation of the meter.
