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If flow sensor, calculator or sensor pair have been separated and the seals broken, the meter is no longer valid for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.

MULTICAL® 302 can be ordered in various combinations as required by the customer. First select the required
hardware from the type overview. Then select ”Config” and ”Data” to suit the application in question.
The meter is configured and ready for use from the factory. It can, however, be reconfigured before installation (see
paragraph 8.4 Setup loop for further information).

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.
Please contact Kamstrup for further details on available country codes. Currently available country codes appear from
internal document 5514-863 on Kamstrup’s Intranet.

as they are intended for flat gaskets.
The legal parameters of the meter are determined by Config., which can only be changed before installation when the
meter is still in transport state, or after breaking the seal ”I (SETUP)” and activating the switch.
The code A indicates installation of the flow sensor in inlet or outlet pipe. As the density and specific heat capacity of
water varies with temperature, the calculator must compensate for the installation type in question. Wrong
configuration or installation will result in a measuring error. Further details on installation of flow sensor in inlet and
outlet as far as heat and cooling meters are concerned appear from section 6.6.

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.
