5 Connecting the Components

Important: First mount the temperature sensors and then connect the flow meter to the calculator. This way
unnecessary error messages can be avoided.

At delivery, the display shows „H 05“ until temperature sensors have been attached. This message disappears as
soon as temperature sensors have been connected and the first temperature measurement is carried out (every 15
minutes without flow).
The calculator connections have been designed to meet the valid standard EN1434-2. All terminal strips have been
labelled according to this standard.
The terminal strips are located under the cover of the calculator housing.

5.1 Mounting the temperature sensors

Please note the following points:
- The temperature sensors must have the type of Pt suitable for the calculator (Pt 500). The calculator
identifies the temperature sensors automatically and shows the type of Pt in loop 2.
- The temperature sensors (up to DN 100) must be installed against the flow direction.
- The temperature sensors are not to be installed within the influence of other sources of heat.
- The temperature sensor cables must not be kinked, lengthened or shortened.

 - Sensor cables that are too long should not be rolled up tightly into an ‘air-core coil’. The cables should
either be laid out disordered, or rolled up loosely into a wide coil which can be turned and tied into an ‘8’.

Mounting
- Loosen the two cable glands without blind plugs and glide them over the sensor cables.
- Feed the temperature sensors through the appropriate openings of the cable glands into the terminal box.
- Clamp the wires (see identification label temperature sensors) as shown in the illustration:
The inlet flow temperature sensor must always be connected to clamp 5 and 6 (inlet).
The outlet flow temperature sensor must always be connected to clamp 7 and 8 (outlet).
The color of the wires does not matter.

- Check that the connections are tight.

- Screw the cable glands tight by hand.

5.2 Mounting the flow meter

The pulse output of the flow meter to be connected to the calculator must be identical to the calculator input pulse
value. Check the technical data of the flow meter and compare it to the specifications on the calculator.

Mounting
- Loosen the middle cable gland and glide it over the flow meter cable.
- Remove the blind plug in the cable gland opening. Feed the pulse cable of the flow meter through the
opening into the terminal box.
- Clamp 10 and 11 are used for the connection to the flow meter.
- Clamp on the wires as shown in the illustration.
Note: For flow meters with open collector connections (electronic outputs) make sure the polarity is correct.

- Check that the connections are tight.

- Screw the cable gland tight by hand.

Please check the unused cable glands to make sure that the necessary blind plugs are inserted and then tighten

7 Interfaces and Options

7.1 Optical (infrared) interface
For communication with the optical interface an optocoupler and the “Device Monitor” software are necessary.
The optocoupler and “Device Monitor” are available as accessory equipment.
The optical infrared interface will be activated by automatically sending a header (according to EN 13757-3). Baud
rate: 2400 baud. Then you can communicate with the calculator for 4 seconds. After every valid communication the
calculator is open for another 4 seconds. Afterwards the display is deactivated.
The number of read-outs per day via the optical interface is limited. During daily read-out at least 4
communications are possible. If read-outs are carried out more rarely, the possible number of communications will
increase.

7.2 Retrofitting with an additional communication interface

To our calculator further communication interfaces can be added later. You will find the description of our optional
interfaces in the operating instructions „Communication Interfaces S3(C)“.

During installation of the retrofitting module observe the ESD requirements according to EN 61340-5-1.
This means that on location an antistatic wrist strap with an integrated 1 MΩ resistor has to be used which must be
connected to a proper spot: This is either a grounded pipe or – only with an appropriate adapter! – a Schuko plug
grounding socket. The antistatic wrist strap must be worn tightly on the skin of the wrist.

Open the calculator by pulling the clamping bracket at the upper housing´s leading edge up.
Plug the interface module on the right side of the PC board. If there are module cables you have to loosen the
needed number of cable glands and to glide them over the cables. Remove the blind plugs from the cable gland
openings and feed the cables into the calculator.
Protect the calculator against unauthorized opening using one of the numbered adhesive seals enclosed to the
modules. The added bar code label can be used for the purpose of documentation.

7.3 Exchanging the battery

The calculator´s battery is easy to exchange by authorized technical personnel (our replacements only). Replaced
batteries must be disposed of according to relevant environmental regulations.
Open the calculator by pulling the clamping bracket at the upper housing´s leading edge up. Afterwards protect the
calculator against unauthorized opening using one of the numbered adhesive seals enclosed to the batteries (stick
it upon the seal destroyed). The added bar code label can be used for the purpose of documentation.

1.4 Wireless Interfaces

Engelmann offers the following radio interfaces:
- wireless M-Bus interface EN 13757-3, -4 (see chapter 1.4.1)
- LoRaWAN communication interface (see chapter 1.4.2)

General information about the radio interface:

Installation of radio components between or behind heating pipes, or the presence of other bulky metallic
obstacles directly over or in front of the housing must be avoided.
The transmission quality (range, telegram processing) of radio components can be negatively influenced by
instruments or equipment with electromagnetic emissions, such as telephones (particularly LTE mobile radio
standard), wi-fi routers, baby monitors, remote control units, electric motors, etc.
In addition, the construction of the building has a strong influence on the transmission range and coverage.
Furthermore, when using installation boxes (substations) they must be equipped with non-metallic covers or doors.

The factory-setting of the clock in the meter is standard (winter) Central European Time (GMT +1). There is no
automatic changeover to daylight savings (summer) time.

The radio function is deactivated upon delivery (factory-setting). See chapter 1.4.1.3 & 1.4.2.3 regarding the
activation of the radio interface.

1.4.1.3 Activation of the radio interface

The radio interface leaves the factory deactivated. It can be activated as follows:

a) The radio function can be activated by pressing the push-button.

Press the push-button until you change to the display loop “6” (module loop). Then change with a brief keystroke
to the 2nd item “rad(io) off“ (see picture).
In order to start the editing mode you afterwards must press the push-button
once again for 2-3 seconds. As an aid, after 2 seconds the “editing pen“ will be
displayed bottom left in the LCD. As soon as it appears you have to let go of
the button. Now the display shows “rad(io) on“ and in all display loops a black
triangle (see picture).

b) The radio function can also be activated using the software “Device Monitor”.

This software can be ordered separately as an option.

The radio function can only be deactivated using the software “Device Monitor”.

After activation of the radio function or modification of the radio parameters the meter remains in installation
mode for 60 minutes. During this time he sends telegrams in a 36-seconds-interval.

If using the compact mode, after activation the meter transmits during installation mode format telegrams and
compact telegrams alternately.
During installation mode at least one meter of the version being installed (inlet or outlet flow, heat or heat/cooling,
pulse inputs, display units) must be read out with the Engelmann “Read-out Software walk-by”. The format of the
telegram will be stored locally in the PC in an .xml file.
After completion of the installation mode only compact telegrams will be transmitted.

1.4.1.4 Later activation of the radio encryption

The AES encryption can also be activated later. It can be activated as follows:
a) The encryption can be activated by pressing the push-button.
Press the push-button until you change to the display loop “6” (module loop). Then
change with a brief keystroke to the 3rd item “AES off“ (see picture).
In order to start the editing mode you afterwards must press the push-button
once again for 2-3 seconds. As an aid, after 2 seconds the “editing pen“ will be
displayed bottom left in the LCD. As soon as it appears you have to let go of
the button. Now the display shows “AES on“ (see picture).

b) The encryption can also be activated using the software “Device Monitor”. This software can be ordered
separately as an option.
The encryption can only be deactivated using the software “Device Monitor”.

information is available in the operating instructions of the Device Monitor. The software can be ordered
separately.
c) Via the heat meter menu;
Press and hold the button to switch to display loop "6" (= module loop; see Chapter
3 Display in the Module Loop (Optional)). Then switch to the second loop with a
short press of the button – 6-02 – „EnA oFF“ (see image).
In order to start the edit mode, you must then press the key
press once more for 2-3 seconds. As an aid, an “editing pen” symbol appears in the
lower left corner of the LCD after 2 seconds. As soon as it can be seen, you must
release the button. The display now shows „EnA on“ and a black triangle in all
display loops (see image).

1.4.2.3 Connection to the LoRaWAN Network

To check whether the meter has already connected to the LoRaWAN network, change
from loop 6-02 to loop 6-03 by briefly pressing the button. As long as the meter is
searching for the LoRaWAN network, „LorA Pen“ appears in the LCD; the time between
each connection attempt is gradually reduced to at least once a day.

Installation notes for pulse inputs:

It is important that the pulse cables not be affected by (or exposed to) an external voltage!
Check the polarity of pulse generators with “open collector“ outputs.
The cable wires must not touch each other during installation, otherwise pulses will be counted in the instrument.
When setting up the meter it may be necessary to adjust the meter reading of the instruments connected and the
pulse value using the “Device Monitor” software.

For transmitting the values of the pulse inputs via radio, transmission must be set using the “Device Monitor”
software, if the meters were not already ordered with the transmission of these values set.
Select the menu item „Parameterization of the module“ in the software. Set the radio transmission in the menu
item „Transmission of values for the pulse inputs“. (The transmission of these values via M-Bus is always set in the
factory setting.)

2 Retrofitting with an Additional Communication Interface

During installation of the retrofitting module observe the ESD requirements according to EN 61340-5-1.
This means that on location an antistatic wrist strap with an integrated 1 MΩ resistor has to be used which must be
connected to a proper spot: This is either a grounded pipe or – only with an appropriate adapter! – a Schuko plug
grounding socket. The antistatic wrist strap must be worn tightly on the skin of the wrist.

2.1 Retrofitting S3 with an additional communication interface (optional)

We also offer a retrofittable meter to which communication interfaces can be added later.

To retrofit such a meter with an additional communication interface the calculator´s adhesive seal has to be
destroyed and the device´s calculator to be opened. Use a screwdriver with a wide tip (4 - 5 mm) and carefully
press in the two round predetermined breaking points above the cable feedthroughs (see picture 1).

Then insert the screwdriver into one of the two openings at an angle of approx. 45° and carefully lift the handle up
to approx. 90° (see picture 2). The upper housing piece of the calculator is then no longer latched on this side.
Repeat this with the other opening. Now the upper housing piece can be taken off.

Page 20 of 23 Article no.: 1080622201 2022_10_28 Subject to technical change! Errors excepted.
Plug the interface module on the right side of the PC board (see picture 3). The cables are to be fed through the
rightmost cable feedthroughs into the calculator after removing the blind grommets. Close the calculator.
Protect the calculator against unauthorized opening using one of the numbered adhesive seals enclosed to the
modules (stick it upon the seal destroyed). The added bar code label can be used for the purpose of
documentation.

To remove a module the upper housing piece must be carefully pressed against the rear panel of the lower housing
piece during opening the calculator. Thus the two rear snap-fits of the upper housing piece lever out the module of
the PC board (see picture 4).

2.2 Retrofitting S3C with an additional communication interface
To our calculator further communication interfaces can be added later.

Open the calculator by pulling the clamping bracket at the upper housing´s leading edge up.
Plug the interface module on the right side of the PC board. If there are module cables you have to loosen the
needed number of cable glands and to glide them over the cables. Remove the blind plugs from the cable gland
openings and feed the cables into the calculator.
Protect the calculator against unauthorized opening using one of the numbered adhesive seals enclosed to the
modules (stick it upon the seal destroyed). The added bar code label can be used for the purpose of
documentation.
