CONTECA is a direct heat energy meter especially suited to measuring thermal consumption in residential buildings. Thanks to its double memory register, it is able to keep a record of power in both heating and air-conditioning modes (option 755810). The device comprises an electronic calculator unit, a positive displacement flow rate gauge and two temperature probes. The CONTECA meter is very easy to install and hardly requires any maintenance. The CONTECA meter flow rate gauge is the turbine type. The turbine speed is measured by means of a high-resistance protected magnetic joint. As the mechanism is inside a vacuum there is no condensation. The mechanism block nut, made of non-magnetic material, prevents all attempted tampering. The electronic technology and the materials used offer precise and reliable measurements. The high-precision NTC temperature probes are easy to seal for greater protection against tampering. The cables connecting the flow and return probes to the calculator unit are 1,9 m long. The CONTECA meter is equipped with an 8-digit liquid crystal display that can be turned on with a button, as it is normally off in order to minimise battery usage. This display enables easy reading of consumption values as well as a range of technical data to allow appliance operating status evaluation and data logging. The CONTECA meter is able to acquire three additional pulse inputs and two additional alarm-status digital inputs, and is designed for centralised remote transmission (max. 250 modules) in M-Bus mode
