Meter temperature class T50 (0,1°C ... 50°C)
Meter temperature class T30/90 (30°C ... 90°C)
Meter temperature class T90 (0,1°C ... 90°C)

• Maximum admissible working pressure (pressure class) 16 bar (MAP16)


• Flow profile sensitivity class U0 D0
• Volume measurement units m3
• Resolution of a displaying device 0,001 m3
• Displaying range 999999,999 m3

The maximum permissible error (MPE) on volumes delivered at flow rate between the transitional flow rate Q2 (included) and
the overload flow rate Q4 (included) is:
• When water temperature ≤ +30 °C +_ 2%
• When water temperature > +30 °C +_3%

The maximum permissible error (MPE) on volumes delivered at flow rate between the minimum flow rate Q1 (included) and the
transitional flow rate Q2 (excluded) for water having any temperature is: +
_ 5%

If the flow-rate exceeds the maximum value Q4:


• When the flow-rate Q ≤ 1.2 ∙ Q4, the flow-rate measurement and calculations are continued.
• When the flow-rate Q > 1.2 ∙ Q4, calculations are performed using flow-rate value 1.2 ∙ Q4 and the info code
“Maximum allowed value of flow rate is exceeded” is recorded and the duration of that status is calculated.

2.1 DISPLAY (LCD)


THE DEVICE IS EQUIPPED WITH 2-LINES LCD (LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY):
Upper line with 9-digits for displaying measured volume of water:
• Readings in normal mode: m3 ( three digits after decimal point).
• Readings in verification (TEST) mode: m3 (six digits after decimal point).

Lower line with 5-digits for displaying current flow rate in m3/h and special symbols for displaying operation modes. In the
case of battery discharge, all integral readings and archive data shall be saved for at least 16 years and can be accessed by
connecting a power battery in the operating condition.

2.2 DATA RECORDING AND STORAGE


In its memory, meter accumulates an archive of hourly, daily, and monthly measured parameters. Archive data can be read only by
remote data reading means, mentioned in 2.4 paragraph. Data archive values, which are also additionally showed on the display, are
specified in Paragraph 6.4.

THE FOLLOWING PARAMETERS OF EACH HOUR, DAY, AND MONTH ARE ACCUMULATED IN THE MEMORY OF THE METER:

1 Integral volume of water


2 Integral volume of water in the forward direction
3 Informational flow in the reverse direction
4 Maximum flow rate value and date
5 Info (Status) code
6 Total operating time
7 Operating time without error
8 Temperature

axiomametering.com 6
DATA LOGGER CAPACITY:
• Up to 1480 hours for hourly records.
• Up to 1130 days for daily records.
• Up to 36 last months for monthly records.

Archive data storage time not less than 36 months. Storage time of measured integrated parameters even if device is disconnec-
ted from power supply is not less than 16 years.

2.3 ALARMS
Qalcosonic W1 meter has integrated system that informs about certain alarms. Several of them are critical and being
transmitted immediately. Other alarms or events are logged in status byte and transmitted within data telegrams.

BY DEFAULT ENABLED CRITICAL ALARMS (SINCE 2020.06.01):


• Leakage (occurs when constant flow rate within 24 hours is more than 0.25/0.5/1% of Q3.
Disappears after 1 hour, if constant flow rate within that hour is less than configured value).
• Burst (occurs when constant flow rate within 60 minutes is more than 5/10/20% of Q3.
Disappears after 32 seconds, if constant flow rate within that period of time is less than configured value).
• Freeze (occurs when water temperature reaches about 2/3/4/5°C).
• Tamper (occurs when meter is opened or damaged).

BY DEFAULT DISABLED CRITICAL ALARMS:


• Negative flow (occurs when meter detects negative flow).
• No consumption (occurs when there was no water for the last 3/7/30 days).

All these critical errors are also shown in status byte. It also might show indications of empty pipe, communication credits, battery
lifetime and other.

2.6 POWER SUPPLY


Meter is powered with one or two internal AA-size 3.6V lithium (Li-SOCl2) batteries with a service life of at least 16 years. Batteries
cannot be replaced. Accurate battery lifetime depends also on data transmission frequency.

lation. Error code is displayed only when an error occurs during meter operation. In normal mode this stage is skipped.

The indication of irrelevant parameters can be turned off. Also, parameters that are not relevant to the set meter configuration will not
be indicated.
The indication of parameters can be turned on or off by means of the configuration software „W1 TOOL“ through the optical interface
when installing the meter (if the meter is in the transportation mode).

5 - corresponds errors 4 + 1 B - corresponds errors 8 + 2 + 1 E - corresponds errors 8 + 4 + 2
7 - corresponds errors 4 + 2 + 1 C - corresponds errors 8 + 4 F - corresponds errors 8 + 4 + 2 +1
9 - corresponds errors 8 + 1

6.7 VERIFICATION (TEST) MODE CONTROL


In verification (test) mode it is possible to achieve precise results within short measuring time.
In the test mode, the meter:

• indicates the increased resolution of flow values.


• forms volume pulses through the optical interface.

Volume pulse values (via optical interface) in verification mode „TEST“ are presented in the table below.

VOLUME
PERMANENT FLOW RATE Q3, M3/H
PULSE VALUE, L/IMP
1,6 0,3
2,5 0,3

6.8 ENDING OF VERIFICATION MODE


Using an optical head and PC with W1 TOOL software the meter verification mode (TEST) is returned to the operating mode. After
opening the program startup window, click „Wake up meter“, then click „Enter user mode“. The meter returns to the normal mode.
Also, meter returns to its normal mode automatically in 24 hours after activation of TEST mode.

7 VERIFICATION
Metrological control of meter parameters is performed according to requirements defined in EN ISO 4064-1.

8 TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE REQUIREMENTS


Packed meters may be transported in any type of covered vehicle. Equipment should be anchored reliably to avoid shock and possi-
bility to shift inside vehicle. Meters should be protected against mechanical damage and shock. No aggressive chemical substances
should be stored together because of corrosion hazard.

• Storage and transportation temperature: from -25°C to 70°C (drained flow part)
• Humidity: not more than 93%
