Product catalog summary
Overview: The CONTER is a hydraulic interface unit (HIU) designed for managing and directly metering centralized heating and cooling systems. It is configurable based on installation needs and suitable for wall hanging in technical compartments or containment boxes.
Key Features:
  • Independent management and cost breakdown based on real consumption.
  • Ensures security and energy savings.
  • Compact size with flexible installation for right or left inlets.
Components and Operation:
  • Includes heating outlet, return, hot and cold domestic water lines, and sanitary recirculation.
  • Equipped with manual interception valves, ON/OFF actuators, flow rate regulation, and energy meters.
  • Supports direct metering for domestic water and includes a low-temperature mixing unit for radiant panels.
Hydraulic Features:
  • Flow coefficient (kv) varies based on configuration, with static balancing and energy meter options.
  • Maximum operating pressure is 6 bar, with temperature limits of 90°C for hot water and 30°C for cold water.
Technical Specifications:
  • Materials include brass, galvanized sheet, and copper for various components.
  • Power supply options are 230V or 24V with a frequency of 50 Hz.
  • Includes static and dynamic balancing valves for flow regulation.
Installation and Safety:
  • Designed for indoor installation in frost-free environments with specific temperature and humidity ranges.
  • Electrical safety systems include a 2-point SINTESI actuator and room thermostat integration.
  • Available in wall hanging or built-into-wall configurations with optional insulation.
Additional Features:
  • Energy meters and volumetric meters for domestic water are available with M-bus interfaces.
  • Optional kits for additional water lines and energy meters are provided.
  • Sheet metal boxes are available in different sizes based on configuration needs.
Installation Guidelines: The unit can be installed in any position except with the SINTESI motorised valve facing downwards. Special fixing brackets allow for installation with either right or left inlets. Flexible hydraulic connections are recommended to accommodate thermal expansion and potential misalignment.
Warranty and First Start-Up: The warranty is effective from the date of testing, if required, or from the date of purchase if testing is not required, lasting for 24 months.
M-Bus System: The M-bus system facilitates communication between peripheral metering units and a remote control unit, which collects consumption data. Data can be accessed directly on the control unit display or via a PC connection. Remote querying is possible through a modem interface. Installation should be in technical rooms accessible only to authorized personnel.
Certifications: The product complies with the CE Machinery Directive 2006/42/CE, CE Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/UE, and CE Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014/30/UE.
Product Specifications: The CONTER hydraulic interface unit is designed for direct metering and management of heating/cooling systems with centralized domestic hot water production. It includes manual interception valves, a by-pass SINTESI ball valve, a static balancing valve, and energy line insulation. The unit is constructed with galvanized steel brackets and copper pipes, supporting a maximum pressure of 6 bar and a maximum temperature of 90°C.
Additional Components: Various components such as the CONTER box for built-in-wall installation, frame and door with custom lock, SINTESI actuator, and energy meters are available, each with specific dimensions and codes for identification.
Example of Specifications: Detailed specifications for components like DHW and DCW metering lines, volumetric meters, and their respective codes are provided for precise identification and installation.
