WORKING TEMPERATURE RANGE:
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: +

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.
THE FOLLOWING PARAMETERS OF EACH HOUR, DAY, AND MONTH ARE ACCUMULATED IN THE MEMORY OF THE METER:
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.
All these critical errors are also shown in status byte. It also might show indications of empty pipe, communication credits, battery
lifetime and other.
AVAILABLE COMMUNICATION MODULES FOR DATA TRANSMISSION (ONLY ONE OPTION MIGHT BE SELECTED WHEN
PLACING THE ORDER):
• RF 868 MHz
• RF 433 MHz
• RF 915 MHz
• RF 920,5 MHz

2.5 PULSE OUTPUTS IN TEST MODE
Pulse values are available only in Test Mode and it depends on the nominal flow rate Q3. It is specified in the table below:

Flow measuring principle is based on section many times and the flow down- functions. From the results of time differ-
ultrasonic measurement method. Ultra- stream between the ultrasonic sensors ence the flow rate is calculated and indi-
sonic signal moves along the measuring have to perform transmitter and receiver cated in display.
WATER METER PERFORMS ALL NECESSARY MEASUREMENT AND DATA STORAGE FUNCTIONS.
BELOW ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT:
• High stability in measuring water volume and detection characteristics of overload
• Calculation of the maximum values and their storage in archive
• Storage of necessary data for reports on set day yearly and monthly
• Archive data storage time 36 months
• Detection of faults
• Displaying values of parameters (optional) and displaying info codes
• Verification and service functions

5 INSTALATTION
5.1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
PRIOR TO INSTALLING THE METER, IT IS NECESSARY:
• to check the complete set of the meter with that specified in the technical documentation.
• to check for any visible mechanical defects.
• to check the configuration of the meter and to change it if necessary.
The meters may only be installed by qualified specialists in accordance with the requirements of this document and the meter instal-
lation design.
NOTE. The transportation mode will turn off automatically (the possibility to change configuration parameters will be turned off) when
the meter starts operation and the volume integrator has accumulated more than 10 litres.
