Ploumeter RC82 Series ultrasonic heat meters are used for energy measurement of heating or chilled water in residential and small commercial heating and air conditioning systems.
RC82 Series heat meters consist of:
- Electronic energy calculator with 8-digit LCD display
- Ultrasonic flow sensor with an internal assembly made of PPO™ and mirrors made of stainless steel
- Brass flow sensor housing with external threads according to ISO228 on inlet and outlet and suitable externally threaded tailpieces with union nuts and sealings
- Temperature sensors for supply and return pipeline with suitable brass fittings
Features
- Fully resistant to external magnetic fields
- Robust ultrasonic flow sensor
- Support Optical, M-Bus, RS485, BACnet, Wireless M-Bus, NB-IoT, LoRa Wan communication interface, PCBA also integrated with 2 pulse input and 1 pulse output.
- Non-wearing due to non-moving parts
- Self-diagnostics
Function
- Calculator: the meter is equipped with a fully electronic energy calculator with separate registers for heating and cooling water energy
- Flow sensor: the ultrasonic technology of the flow sensor combines high measuring accuracy with long term stability and low start flow rate.
- Temperature sensors: the meter is equipped with a pair of Pt1000 temperature sensors with a length of 1.5m each
- Interfaces: M-Bus interfaces as standard.
