Website


Description​

HYDROCLIMA-2 is a heat cost allocator with dual temperature sensors and ambient temperature recording. It features wireless M-Bus communication, 10-year battery life, and provides up to 24 months of historical consumption and temperature statistics.

Configuration​

info

The device is delivered pre-configured, but it can be reprogrammed and customized through BMetering Software.

Configuration Procedure​

Programming and configuration of the device is carried out by radio, using an RFM-RX2 receiver and BMetering Software.

The BMetering software must be properly configured. Then trigger the configuration procedure with the allocator's button:

  • for the factory state of the allocator, press the button for < 1s
  • for the allocator already configured, press the button for > 5s, until the display shows the message “rF”.

The configuration of the allocator is described in the BMetering software user manual.

Wireless M-Bus Address Configuration​

Where to Find the Address on the Device​

The address is located above the barcode and below the display, as shown in the image below (8 digits).


Mapping the wM-Bus Address to CHESTER​

The mapping must be carried out using the CHESTER Terminal, for example with:

Managing and Adding wM-Bus Device Addresses in CHESTER​

Here you can manage the list of wM-Bus addresses (add/remove), adjust scan settings, and review example configurations for typical setups.

Message Encryption and Key Management​

The transmitted messages are encrypted to optimize energy consumption during data transmission, which extends the overall battery life.

The received data must therefore be decrypted, which is done using decryption keys.
To achieve this, there are two options:
