1. Application and function
This compact heat meter microCLIMA U is designed for
measurement of the consumed heat energy in a closed
heating system.
2. Content of the Package
Heat meter, consisting of a detachable calculator,
flow sensor and two temperature sensors, all
permanently connected to each other.
Installation kit
Installation and Operating Instructions
3. General Information
The valid standards for the application of heat
meters are EN 1434, parts 1 + 6, Council Directive
on EMC 2004/22/EC, annex I and MI-004 and the
relevant national verification regulations.
The regulations for electrical installations are to be
observed.
The product meets the requirements relating to
emissions in the European Council Directive
EMC 2004/108/EC.
The measurement stability of the heat meters is only
guaranteed when the quality of the water meets the
conditions as specified in the AGFW
Recommendation FW-510.
The identification plate of the instrument and the
seals must not be removed or damaged –otherwise
the guarantee and the approved application of the
instrument are no longer valid!
The heat meter left the factory in conformance with
all applicable safety regulations. All maintenance
and repair work is to be carried out only by qualified
and authorized technical personnel.
The direct-mounted temperature sensor and/or the
external temperature sensor installation point may
not be altered in any way, in particular the sealing
wire must not be removed.
The instrument must be stored and transported at
temperatures above-freezing.
To protect against damage and dirt the heat meter
should only be removed from the packaging directly
before installation.
Instruments with a return-flow temperature sensor
mounted directly in the flow sensor may only be
mounted in the return flow.
All details and specifications listed on the data sheet
of the heat meter must be adhered to.
All electrical connections must be laid at a minimum
distance of 10 cm to sources of electromagnetic
interference (switches, controllers, pumps, etc.). All
instrument connections must be laid at a minimum
distance of 5 cm to other current-carrying wires.
The temperature sensor cables must not be kinked,
rolled up, lengthened or shortened.
To clean the heat meter (only if necessary) use a
slightly moist cloth.
Categorically, all temperature sensors which are not
mounted in the flow sensor must be direct-mounted.
If more than one heat meter is installed in one unit,
care must be taken to ensure that all the meters
have the same installation conditions.
Pay attention to the installation point of the heat
meter:
standard: in the return flow pipe
optional: in the forward flow pipe (must be
specifically requested when ordering).
4. Mounting the Flow Sensor
Flush the pipes according to DIN/EN. Then close all
the shut-off valves. Open the nearest draining valve
for pressure release.
Drain the closed-off pipe section.
Loosen the coupling rings and remove the old heat
meter.
Remove all old gaskets.
Clean the sealing surfaces.
Insert new gaskets.
Position the flow sensor correctly, taking into
account the direction of flow (arrow on the side of
the flow sensor)!
Tighten the coupling rings.
Rotate the calculator into the correct reading
position.
Note:
In order to simplify mounting in narrow installation
spaces the calculator can be detached from the flow
sensor.
To detach the calculator, carefully pull the upper part of
the housing away from the flow sensor.
5. Mounting the Temperature Sensors
For pipe systems of size ≤ DN25 the MID regulations
require direct mounting of the temperature sensors for
new installations (new construction, or retrofitted heating
systems).
Note:
During installation be sure that the return flow sensor
(blue marking) is mounted in the “colder pipe”and the
forward flow sensor (red marking) in the “warmer pipe”.

5.1. Direct mounting (ball valve and T-piece)
Remove the blind plug/old temperature sensor and
gasket/old O-ring. Clean connection
surfaces.
Slide the O-ring off the temperature
sensor and insert it to the bottom of
the threaded opening of the ball valve
or the T-piece.
Set the required mounting depth of
the tip of the temperature sensor by
tightening the cross-head screw in
the correct beading on the sheath.
The temperature sensor must not
touch the bottom of the ball valve or
T-piece.
Insert the temperature sensor into the ball valve or
the T-piece and tighten the screw nut to the stop.
6. Start of Operation
Slowly open the shut-off valves
Check that the meter is functioning properly and that
there are no leaks.
After confirming that the heat meter is the
functioning properly, apply the seals for the
temperature sensors and the flow sensor.
When replacing a meter at the end of a verification
period note the meter readings and the serial
numbers of the old and new meters.
Check the following points:
Is the heat meter of the right size?
Are the shut-off valves open?
Is the heating system clear (dirt filters not clogged?)
Are the temperature sensors and the flow sensor
sealed (against manipulation)?
Is the directional arrow on the flow sensor in line
with the flow direction?
Is a flow volume displayed?
Is a plausible temperature difference displayed?
For instruments with an integrated return flow
temperature sensor, check, if the flow sensor is
installed in the return flow.

8. Display
The calculator has a liquid crystal display with 8 digits
and special characters. The values that can be shown
are divided into three display loops. All data can be
retrieved via the key.
In standard mode (no push-button action), the
information displayed is the total heat energy consumed
since the meter was put into operation.
At the start you are automatically in the main loop (1st
level). By pressing the push-button longer than
4 seconds you change to the next display loop. Keep the
push-button pressed until you reach the desired
information loop.

By pressing the push-button briefly you can scan all the
information within a loop.
After 1 minute of non-use of the push-button, the display
automatically returns to the main loop.

9. Interfaces and Options
9.1. Optical (infrared) interface
In order for a PC to be able to communicate with a
SensoStar 2U® instrument, it is necessary to connect an
USB interface of the PC. The optocoupler and the
necessary software „Device®Monitor“ are optionally
available.
Baudrate (2400 Bd)
The optical infrared interface is activated with the key. If
within 60 seconds neither a valid telegram is received
nor the push-button pressed again, the interface is
deactivated.
9.2. M-Bus
With the optional M-Bus the protective interface is
galvanically separated. In a maximum-sized M-Bus
network of 250 meters, 24 read-outs per day are
possible for each meter. If fewer read-outs are carried
out and/or fewer heat meters are installed in the network
(connected to the M-Bus system), the unused amount of
available read-outs is stored in the instrument to be used
when needed.

9.2.1. General information
The number of read-outs via the optical interface is
limited.
During communication on the M-Bus with an
addressed instrument via the M-Bus it is not
possible to use the other interfaces on the
instrument (push-button, optical interface) and vice
versa.
The valid standards for the M-Bus protocol are
EN 13757-2, EN 13757-3 and EN 1434-3 and the M-
Bus Recommendation (version 4.8 from Nov. 1997)
with the basic standard IEC 870 parts 1,2 and 4.
Each meter on the M-Bus is only protected against
high voltage up to the maximal allowed bus voltage
(±50V).
Additional protective measures must be provided by
the level converter/Master.
The installation of an instrument in a M-Bus network
may only be carried out by authorized, qualified
technical personnel.
Attention must be paid to ensure that the cable
lengths and cable cross-sections in the bus network
are appropriate for the baud rate of the connected
meters (2400 baud).
Recommended cable type:
Telephone cable J-Y(ST) Y2 x 2 x 0.8 mm²
10. Error Codes
When the instrument detects an error, the
error symbol and number are displayed.
The error can also be displayed by selecting
the menu item 8) ‘error display’ in the first level / main
loop (see loop 8 display).
There are seven possible causes of error, and they can
appear in combination with each other, depending on
the situation. The description of the faults can be read
from the display.
