Kamstrup A/S · Technical description · FILE100000166_B_EN-55121689_M1_07.2023
6 Display
MULTICAL® 403 has a bright and clear display including 7 or 8 digits depending on configuration as well as a number
of symbols for measuring units, info, inlet and outlet, radio on/off etc. The display is switched on by pressing either
the primary or the secondary key on the meter’s front. Depending on the selected integration mode (L-code) the
display either switches off 8 min. after the latest activation of a key or remains switched on. Thus the selected
integration mode influences the meter’s battery lifetime. Read more about battery lifetime in paragraph 10.4 and
more about the meter’s integration modes in paragraph 3.2.7.
The meter is configured as inlet or outlet meter

Measuring unit
The meter uses four different display loops. The four loops are intended for four different usage situations.
• ”USER loop”
The meter’s configurable display loop, which is intended for the user. The readings in this loop can be adjusted
to the requirements via the DDD-code. See paragraph 3.2.4 for an overview of possible readings in the meter’s
”USER loop”. The same paragraph includes examples of DDD-codes.
• ”TECH loop”
This loop is intended for technicians and is not configurable. The loop displays all the meter’s readings. The loop
includes readings like serial number, date, time, config number, software revision and segment test. See
paragraph 6.2 for a complete overview of the readings.
• ”SETUP loop”
”SETUP loop” is also intended for the technician. In this loop the technician can configure the meter via the front
keys. In general (unless otherwise requested by the customer) the loop is open in transport state. When the first
integration has been carried out by the meter, the access to ”SETUP loop” is blocked. From now on it is no longer
possible to access ”SETUP loop” unless you break the installation seal. See paragraph 6.3 for further details
about the various parameters which can be configured in ”SETUP loop” and see paragraph 7.8 for details on the
meter’s transport state.
• ”TEST loop”
Used by authorized laboratories for reverification of the meter. This loop is not available unless the meter’s test
seal (verification seal) is broken.
