Product catalog summary
Introduction
The READy Ethernet module is a high-performance communication device designed for the MULTICAL® 603 and 803 energy meters. It facilitates direct communication with the Kamstrup READy manager, transmitting essential billing and heat intelligence data hourly. The module offers a wired alternative to radio-based solutions, ensuring data security through AES128 and AES256 encryption.

Application
Designed for easy installation and plug-and-play commissioning, the module logs hourly data and can store up to 14 days of data if the network connection is lost. It is powered by the meter's internal supply and cannot be used with the HC-003-80 2G/4G network module.

Installation
The module is mounted in a free slot on the meter, requiring no configuration. Communication with the READy Manager is verified using the CALL function, and data can be checked online using the meter's serial number.

Cable Connections
The module supports pulse inputs In-A and In-B for data collection from other meters. Ethernet connections follow TIA/EIA-568, T568B termination standards.

Communication
Data is sent hourly via UDP protocol with end-to-end encryption. The module requires a network with DHCP and internet access.

Technical Data
Dimensions: 90 x 35 x 14 mm, Weight: < 45 g. It supports Ethernet IPV4 with galvanic isolation > 2 kV. Operational temperature ranges from 5 °C to 55 °C, with humidity between 25% and 85% RH.

Ordering and Configuration
Order No. for the module is HC-003-83. Configuration details include product type and system settings.

Displayed Information
Module information is accessible via the TECH loop on the MULTICAL® display, providing details on module type, firmware, serial number, data transmission, and link status.

READy Ethernet, inputs (In-A, In-B) Introduction A high performance ethernet module developed for the MULTICAL® energy meter. The module supports direct communication to Kamstrup READy manager. All data needed for billing and heat intelligence are sent at hourly basis. Application The READy Ethernet module is designed with focus on simple installation and plug-andplay commissioning. The module is a wired solution having the same functionality as the HC-003-80 2G/4G network module. Thus this module provides a wired alternative to those people who are uncomfortable with radio-based equipment. Data...

READy Ethernet, inputs (In-A, In-B) Communication from module Once the module connects to the READy manager, data are sent from the module every hour. If connection is lost, data will be logged for up to 14 days. Once the communication is re-established, the logged data are passed on to the READy Manager. Protocol Data are sent via the UDP protocol and are end to end encrypted for high secured transport. Network options The module requires that the network has a DHCP server and internet access. Datagram The datagram contains the most common registers used for billing and heat intelligence. Datagram...
