multidata
Installation and operating manual
Electronic energy calculator for heat meters
with 2 inputs/outputs
optionally with M-Bus, RS-232 and RS-485
All that counts.

General information
With multidata you have acquired one of the
most up-to-date, modern heat calculators cur-
rently available on the market.
Expressive symbols in the display and easy
menu navigation make readout simple. It can be
operated with one single button. The setting of
the data loggers (depending on the type of de-
vice) is being done via the software GMM.
The calculator is equipped with a long-life battery
made for operation during the initial verication
validity period (5 years) including a reserve of at
least another year. With a second battery you will
reach 11 years.
Initial verification
multidata is produced and tested in compliance
with the new European measuring instruments
directive (MID). According to this directive, de-
vices do no longer carry an initial verication
stamp, but rather the year of the device’s decla-
ration of conformity (recognizable on the front of
the device, for example: M09). The MID controls
the use of heat meters up to the moment they
are placed on the market resp. their rst putting
into use. After this, the national regulations for
devices subject to legal verication apply within
the EU.

The duration of initial verication validity in Germany
remains 5 years for heat meters. After this period has
expired, the measuring device may no longer be used
for billing in commercial use. The regulations resp.
validity period may vary in other countries of the EU.
