Important directions The installation of PolluCom M requires adequate professional knowledge and should be carried out by specially trained persons only. The technical data specified in chapter 2 must not be exceeded during operation. During the installation of PolluCom M, the well or ball valve, particular care is to be taken that they are perfectly mounted, because otherwise there might be the danger of being scalded by leaking heating liquid. Therefore, first of all, the stop cocks are to be closed before removal. Depending on manufacturing conditions the brass connection threads might be sharp-edged. Therefore we recommend wearing protection gloves. Heat or chill meters are measuring instruments and have to be handled with care. In order to protect them against damages and soiling they should only be taken from the package immediately before installation. The instrument must not be carried by the cable. For cleaning purposes use nothing else but a cloth moistened with water. Within the instrument there is a lithium battery, which must not be opened by force, come into contact with water, be short-circuited or exposed to temperatures exceeding 80 C. Empty batteries, no longer needed electronic instruments or components are hazardous waste and to be disposed of at suitable collecting points. If several meters are used in the same billing unit, equal instrument types and fitting positions should be chosen in the interest of the fairest possible consumption billing. M H 1210 INT, Page 2

Installation of the meter PolluCom M can be used as heat and chill meter. For combined heating / chilling plants (automatic switch-over between heat and chill metering) the version PolluCom M H has to be used. Because of the different possibilities of application below terms are used in the following text: Return pipe of heating plants: Supply pipe of heating plants: Return pipe of chilling plants: Supply pipe of chilling plants: Installation in heating plants: colder line warmer line warmer line colder line Usually the flow sensor of PolluCom M is installed in the colder line. For installation points in the warmer line the versions PolluCom MX or PolluCom MX H are available. X implies that the integrator has been adjusted for flow sensors in the warmer line. Installation in chilling plants: It is recommended to install the flow sensor in the warmer line (return pipe) of the chilling plant, because of the reduced dew formation effects. Because of the low temperature difference it is also admissible to use PolluCom M instead of PolluCom MX. In chilling plants and combined heating / chilling plants the integrator is to be removed from the flow sensor and to be mounted separately. The integrator is removed from the flow sensor (pulling it upwards) and mounted separately at a suitable place by means of the delivered wall adapter. The integrator of PolluCom M can be turned through 330 degrees to a perceptible stop. Forced further turning causes the damage of internal components and the loss of warranty entitlement. The flow direction of the heating or cooling liquid is marked by an arrow on the flow sensor. Additional straight inlet or outlet pipes are not required. The flow sensor and the two temperature sensors have to be installed in the same circuit of the heating or cooling plant. It is to be considered that the admissible mounting position of the flow sensor depends on the meter variant: horizontal (integrator shall point upwards) downpipe riser pipe M H 1210 INT, Page 3
Before the flow sensor (or at another suitable point in the heating or cooling circuit) a dirt trap is to be installed, as well as a stop cock before and behind the flow sensor in order to be able to dismount the meter after expiry of the verification period without being compelled to empty the pipeline. Before installing the meter rinse the pipeline throroughly, remove the fitting piece (included in the standard mounting kit) or the old meter and then mount the PolluCom M using new gaskets. Examples of installation: Fig. 1: In new installations DN 25 (R 1 ) both temperature sensors have to be installed directly in the heating or cooling liquid supply line 4. Installation of temperature sensors As far as possible a cable conduit or a cable pipe should be used for laying the cables. In order to achieve the most accurate temperature measurement possible, the tip of the temperature sensor is to be positioned in the middle of the pipe diameter. The cables are to be laid keeping a minimum distance of 0.3 m from electromagnetic influences (generators, motors, frequency converters, etc.) as well as from cables carrying > 50 V. 4.1 Direct installation in the heating or cooling liquid wall adapter ball valve For this type of installation for nominal size DN 25 (R 1 ) the Sensus ball valve with order number 68504753 is provided. This ball valve is also included in the standard mounting kit DN 25 (R 1 ) for PolluCom M. It is also used for shutting off the pipeline, so that the temperature sensor can be dismounted without having to empty the pipeline. 4.2 Installation in well return line Fig. 2: Installation of the temperature sensors in wells for new installations DN 32 (R 1 ¼ ) and DN 40 (R 1 ½ ) as well as existing installations (verification exchange) DN 25 (R 1 ) to DN 40 (R 1 ½ ) supply line well in tee In order to achieve a correct temperature measurement it is required that the well tip is positioned in the middle of the pipe diameter. Before the temperature sensor can be put into the well, the pressing screw has to be put over the sensor cable at first. Then the two delivered metal half-shells, which are held together by an O-ring, are put onto the sensor from below until they click into the circular groove at the upper end of the sensor (see fig. 3). Please take care without fail that the two half-shells are positioned correctly, and that the chamfer points towards the tip of the temperature sensor. Then insert the sensor into the well up to the stop and screw the pressing screw in. wall adapter return line M H 1210 INT, Page 4

For control purposes the current values of flow rate, power as well as supply flow and return flow temperature can be called to the display according to chapter 5.1. In order to protect the meter against tampering, the delivered self-lock seals have to be applied to the following points: unions of the flow sensor installation point of the separately mounted temperature sensor (see also chapter 4). 7. Potential error situations PolluCom M is equipped with an automatic selfchecking function. In case of error the display shows a four-figure error code in the form Err XYZW. For decoding below allocation can be applied: X: Check of temperature sensors Y: Check of the integrator Z: Error statistics W: Failure in flow sensor Extract: Err 1010 Err 2010 Err 4010 Err 8010 Code Decoding Temperature sensors mixed up or temperature in the colder line exceeds temperature in the warmer line One or both temperature sensors is/are short-circuited Cable failure of temperature sensor for colder line Cable failure of temperature sensor for warmer line In most cases the error situation Err 1010 is caused by temporary plant conditions, as soon as the temperature in the warmer line drops by at least 3 K below the temperature in the colder line. In case of all other error situations please contact our Customer Service. 8. Optical interface and optional modules 8.1 Optical interface All meters are equipped with an optical data interface. Via an optical data coupler (e.g. order number 04410230 for RS 232 connection or order number 184023 for USB connection) set parameters can be changed with the use of the service software MiniCom 3, or the meter can be read out via the readout system DOKOM Mobil. The data interface is activated for an hour by a short keystroke. By every meantime data communication this period of time starts again, so that e.g. a logger readout in 15-minute or hourly intervals is possible during a longer time. 8.2 M-Bus option acc. to EN 1434-3 This option allows a readout of the meter via its primary or secondary address by means of an M- Bus level converter (300 and 2400 Baud, automatic recognition). Both addresses can be set in the parameter menu (see chapter 5.6) or with the help of the service software MiniCom 3 (Please note: The secondary address preset in the factory corresponds to the serial number on the meter body). The primary address can be set between 0 and 250 and has been preset in the factory to 0. The optional two-wire cable is integrated in the M- Bus system at a suitable place. The polarity of the two wires can be disregarded. M H 1210 INT, Page 9
8.3 Mini-Bus option This option allows the meter to be connected with an inductive readout point (MiniPad, order number 182079). The total length of the two-wire cable between meter and readout point must not exceed 50 meters. The polarity of the two wires can be disregarded. The transferred protocol corresponds to the M-Bus protocol, and the meter can be read out via the MiniReader (order no. 182080) or with the help of the readout system DOKOM Mobil. 8.4 Remote reading option for heat consumption pulses The four-wire cable is connected as follows: White = external meter 1 / positive pole Brown = external meter 1 / negative pole Green = external meter 2 / positive pole Yellow = external meter 2 / negative pole Specification of contact inputs: Required closing time: Input frequency: Terminal voltage: > 125 ms < 3 Hz 3 V The required programming regarding: Pulse rate: Closing time: Bounce time: Max. voltage: Max. current: 10 kwh 125 ms none 28 V DC or AC 0.1 A meter type physical unit and rate of input pulse initial meter reading The two-wire cable is connected to a suitable pulse totalizer or to the contact input of a house control system. The polarity of the two wires can be disregarded. 8.5 M-Bus option / Mini-Bus option with two contact inputs In addition to the module specified in chapter 8.2 or 8.3 two external consumption meters (cold water, warm water, electricity, gas, others) with passive remote reading contact (Reed switch or open collector) can be connected. This option has altogether two connection cables ( 1 x two wires, 1 x four wires). The two-wire cable (white and brown wire) is integrated at a suitable place in the M-Bus or Mini-Bus system, the polarity can be disregarded. meter number and M-Bus addresses is carried out via service software MiniCom 3. 8.6 Optional integrated data logger The integrated data logger stores consumption values and instantaneous values (power, flow rate, temperatures) in a selectable time interval (3 to 1440 minutes). The logger data can be read out via the optical interface, M-Bus or Mini-Bus with the help of the service software MiniCom 3. The time interval (preset in the factory to 60 minutes) can also be changed with the help of MiniCom 3. M H 1210 INT, Page 10
