General Information

Abstract

This European Standard specifies the general requirements and applies to heat meters. Heat meters are instruments intended for measuring the energy which in a heat-exchange circuit is absorbed (cooling) or given up (heating) by a liquid called the heat-conveying liquid. The meter indicates heat in legal units.
Part 3 specifies the data exchange between a meter and a readout device (POINT / POINT communication). For these applications using the optical readout head, the EN 62056-21 protocol is recommended.
For direct or remote local readout of a single or a few meters via a battery driven readout device, the physical layer of EN 13757-6 (local bus) is recommended.
For bigger networks with up to 250 meters, a master unit with AC mains supply according to EN 13757-2 is necessary to control the M-Bus. For these applications the physical and link layer of EN 13757-2 and the application layer of EN 13757-3 is required.
For wireless meter communications, EN 13757-4 describes several alternatives of walk/drive-by readout via a mobile station or by using stationary receivers or a network. Both unidirectionally and bidirectionally transmitting meters are supported by this standard.

Recommendation for heat meter test interface Modern heat meters are mainly equipped with CMOS microprocessors with a very low power consumption, allowing battery operation. Testing and adjusting of this type of meters needs a completely different approach. Until now, almost every meter type needed its own test equipment to handle the manufacturer's specific requirements. This is a very complicated and expensive way for users of several types of meters and for initial verification institutes. The more different types of heat meters a user has installed, the more testing equipment he may need. An economical testing of several meters should be possible and an easy adaptation to the existing test bench is of great interest. Since this problem came up, experts have been researching an acceptable solution to it. Details of one example of an acceptable solution are given in AGFW FW 203, "Normierter Wärmezähler-Adapter" [3]. SIST EN 1434-3:2016
