Applications
District and Communal Heating Applications
On any heat or cooling network, whether communal or district, the ZENNER C5 Ultrasonic Energy Meter offers the most reliable and future-proofed solution available.
The compact and smart design ensures the ease of installation in any position. The removable calculator and mounting bracket make the display easy to locate and viewable for consumers, alongside tamper-evident features to both deter and detect fraud.
All ZENNER C5 Ultrasonic Energy meters offer an MBus ‘open-protocol’ data collection output as standard, with the meter powered by MBus and not reliant on any battery. Additional meters, such as water or electricity meters, can be connected to one of the three available pulse inputs to provide a cost-effective solution to capture all metering data through one data collection method.
The MBus reliable and robust data transfer method complies with the Open Metering System (OMS) standard, ensures that data is not locked to any supplier or manufacturer.
Alongside this a wireless MBus version is available making the ZENNER C5 Ultrasonic Energy Meter suitable for both new-builds as well as retrofits.
Hydraulic Interface Units (HIU) or Consumer Interface Units (CIU)
The popularity of HIU’s is increasing in the UK and the ZENNER C5 Ultrasonic Energy meter is the ideal metering solution for any HIU, offering proven and reliable ultrasonic measurement technology that is wear free and tolerant of debris, stable over long term measurement.
The compact design and removable calculator alongside the range of available nominal flow rates offers a solution for all HIU’s. The one-button menu control makes commissioning of HIU’s simple and efficient.
The inclusion of an MBus ‘open-protocol’ data collection output as standard, as well as powering the meter by MBus and offering 3 pulse inputs or outputs ensures suitability for every application.
Alongside this the optional 4-second temperature measurement cycle, available at no additional cost, ensures the capture of all energy consumption and is ideal for instantaneous hot water HIU’s. This is because many energy meters do not update their temperature cycle for 15 or 30 seconds, often missing the consumption of hot water, when a tap might only be turned on for a short time.
Stand Alone Installations
On any stand-alone installation the ease of installation and operation are key. The ZENNER C5 Ultrasonic Energy Meter offers proven and reliable ultrasonic measurement technology that is wear free and tolerant of debris, stable over long term measurement, reliable for very low volume flow rates and can be installed in any installation position.
Alongside this the large LCD display with all functions available at the touch of a button means that long term operation could not be easier.
