Low Power Radio inputs (In-A, In-B), 434 MHz

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document introduces a low-power radio module designed for remote reading of MULTICAL® meters. It comes in two versions: HC-003-50 and HC-003-51 (GDPR compliant). The module supports wireless radio reading, operates on a license-free 434 MHz band, and can be integrated into a Kamstrup radio mesh network. It features internal or external antennas and extra pulse inputs for connecting other consumption meters.

Installation
The module is easily installed in a vacant slot of the meter, requiring no configuration. It is compatible with both battery and mains-powered meters. The HC-003-51 version cannot be read via MULTITERM Pro.

Cable Connections
The module supports a maximum cable size of 1.5 mm² and includes terminals for pulse inputs (In-A and In-B) and antenna connections. The pulse inputs are used for accumulating data from other meters, with the MULTICAL® calculator handling data logging.

Technical Data
The module is designed for MULTICAL® 403, 603, and 803 meters. It measures 90 x 35 x 14 mm and weighs less than 45 g. It operates at a frequency of 434.420 MHz with a transmit power of 2 mW. The range is up to 200 m with an internal antenna and 500 m with an external antenna. The module operates in temperatures from 5°C to 55°C and humidity levels of 25-85% RH.

Ordering
Various components are available for order, including the radio modules, antennas, and cables. Specific order numbers are provided for each item.

Configuration
The document outlines the configuration codes for the modules, detailing product types and system configurations.

Displayed Information
Information about the module can be accessed via the MULTICAL® display by selecting the appropriate menu in the "TECH loop." This includes module type, firmware, and serial number.
