Note: In the following text, the term meter refers to both
the heat meter and the cooling meter unless they are
otherwise differentiated.
1. General
1.1 Use
The T230 is used as a meter for heating or cooling consumption measurement in systems with water.
The meter consists of a high-tech plastic volume measurement
unit, two temperature sensors connected in a fixed position and
an electronic unit that calculates the energy consumption from
the volume and temperature difference.
The meter combines modern microcomputer technology with
innovative ultrasonic measuring technology for which no m echanically moving parts are necessary.
This technology is thus wear free, robust and largely maintenance free. High precision and long-term stability guarantee
precise and equitable cost accounts.
Note: The meter cannot be opened without damaging
the security seal.
1.2 General notes
The meter left the factory in a faultless condition where safety
is concerned. The manufacturer will provide additional technical support on request. Calibration relevant security seals on
the meter must not be damaged or removed. Otherwise the
guarantee and calibration validity of the meter will lapse.
Keep the packaging so that you can transport the meter in
its original packaging following expiry of the calibration validity.
Lay all cables at a minimum distance of 500 mm to high
voltage and high frequency cables.
A relative humidity of < 93% at 25 °C is permissible (without
condensation).
Avoid cavitation in the whole system due to overpressure
i.e. at least 1 bar at qp and approx. 2 bar at qs (applies for
approx. 80 °C).
2. Safety Information
The meters may only be used in building service
engineering plants and only for the applications described.
The local regulations (installation etc.) must be adhered to.
Adhere to the operating conditions according to the
dial plate during use. Non-adherence can cause hazards and the guarantee will lapse.
Do not under any circumstances carrying out welding,
drilling or soldering work close to the meter.
The meter is only suitable for circulating water in
heating systems.
The meter is not suitable for drinking water.
Adhere to the AGFW requirements regarding circulating water (FW510).

3. Installation
To install the meter proceed as follows:
Determine the place of installation in line with the inscrip-
tion on the meter.
Note: At a heating meter the mounting place of the
flow sensor cold side is equivalent to return .
The mounting place of the flow sensor hot side is
equivalent to flow .
Note: At a cooling meter the mounting place of the
flow sensor hot side is equivalent to the return .
The mounting place of the flow sensor cold side is
equivalent to flow .
Observe the dimensions of the meter and check whether
there is sufficient space available.
Rinse the system thoroughly before installing the meter.
Fit the meter vertically or horizontally between two slide
valves so that the arrow on the housing and the flow direction match. Also observe the installation situations and the
following examples of installation.
Note: Only use the rubber EPDM flat seals that are
supplied.

The meter must not be exposed tensions or forces caused
by by pipes or fittings. If this cannot be permanently guaranteed, it is necessary to improve the point of installation or
fix the lines in position, by means of suitable connecting
brackets for example.
Fit the temperature sensors in the same circuit as the me-
ter. Observe the admixtures.
Seal the temperature sensor and the fittings to protect
against manipulation.
If you install the meter for cooling metering, follow the ap-
propriate notes.
Recommendation: If you are installing several meters, the
same installation conditions must be consistent for all meters.
Installation notes
Note: When installing the meter the locally applicable
installation regulations for meters must be observed.
Inlet or outlet sections are not necessary. If you install the
meter in the common return of two circuits, determine a place
of installation with a minimum distance of 10 × DN from the Tpiece. This distance ensures a good thorough mixing of the
different water temperatures. You can install the temperature
sensors in T-pieces, ball valves, directly immersed or in pockets depending on the version. The temperature sensor ends
must reach to at least the middle of the pipe cross section.
Note: Protect the meter against damage through impacts or vibrations at the place of installation.
On activation, open the slide valves slowly.
The meter is made of a robust and very stable material.
Only use open ended spanners to fit the meter. Only insert
the open ended spanner on the holding surfaces provided.
The maximum range of the tightening torque from 15 Nm
for ¾" meter thread or 25 for 1" meter thread must be adhered to during installation. For aligned pipe joints an angle
of rotation of the cupling nut from 120 … 180° (¾") or
90 … 120° (1") from contact of the seal with cupling nut is
sufficient.
Recommendation: Do not install the meter on the pressure
side of a pump. Maintain a minimum distance of 10 x DN on
the pressure side.
Note: During installation it must be ensured that no
water can enter the electronic unit during operation.
Examples of installation (directly immersed sensor)
You can install the meter in any position e.g. vertically or horizontally. In order to avoid accumulation of air and disruption in
operation, fit the meter in a vertical installation position and not
in the uppermost area of a pipeline.
* This position is not permitted for
cold meters and in cases where
moisture can enter the electronic
unit due to condensation (e.g.
during an interruption in the
summer).

5. Getting started
For activation proceed as follows:
Open the slide valves slowly.
Check the heating system for leak-tightness and bleed air
out carefully.
Press the button on the meter briefly.
The message "F0" disappears after 10 sec.
Check the measured values for flow and temperatures for
plausibility.
Vent the heating system until the flow display is stable.
Fit the user locks to the fittings and the temperature sen-
sors. The scope of supply includes two self lock seals for
sealing a sensor and the connecting fitting.
Read the meter status for energy, volume, operation and
missing time and note the values.
Error messages for incorrect installation:
Error "incorrect flow direction (negative)"
Check that the flow direction arrows on the volume measurement unit
match the flow direction of the system. If the directions do not match,
turn the volume measurement unit through 180°.
Error "negative temperature difference"
Check whether the sensors are installed correctly. If the sensors are
not installed correctly, change the installation position of the sensors.
Heat meter:
Temperature sensor in the flow-pipe with higher temperatures; temperature sensor in return-pipe with lower temperature
Cooling meter:
Temperature sensor in the flow-pipe with lower temperatures; temperature sensor in return-pipe with higher temperature
6. Functional Details
If the respective operation thresholds are exceeded and flow
and temperature difference are positive, the meter summates
the energy and the volume.
If the operate margin is gone below a "u" is displayed at a leading
point for the flow, power and temperature display.
For a positive flow the activity display appears in the user
loop in the LCD.
All segments of the display are switched on for control purposes during the segment test. The flow, power and temperature
difference are recorded with the appropriate +/- signs.
The operating hours are counted from the first connection of
the power supply. The meter saves "operating time with flow"
as soon as a positive flow is recognised. Missing hours are
summated if there is a fault and the meter is thus unable to
take a measurement.
Stored maximum values are marked with an " " in the lower
right hand area of the LCD.
7. Error codes
