13. Radio on/off
The meter’s radio/wireless communication can be adjusted to being switched on or switched off. The meter
automatically switches on the radio when the meter leaves transport state because it has carried out its first
integration. The radio on/off function in ”SETUP loop” is primarily used for switching on the radio in transport state
without the meter having made an integration as well as for switching off the radio when the meter is dismounted
after having been in operation, e.g. because it is to be sent by airfreight. The meter’s present condition is indicated
by two symbols in the bottom left corner of the display.
The above definition of the radio on/off symbols simplify the use of radio on/off in ”SETUP loop” too as it is possible
to toggle radio on/off whether a module is mounted in the meter or not. This fact offers the customer flexibility as
the customer can configure the meter prior to mounting a module and thus, make sure that radio is either switched
on or switched off by default when the module is subsequently mounted.
If there is either not installed a module in the meter or the mounted module is not a radio module, both symbols will
be turned off in the meter’s other loops, regardless of the setting of the radio (on/off) in the ”SETUP loop”.
MULTICAL® 403 always allows radio communication during operation.

14. + 15 Inputs A and B (presetting of registers)
It is possible to preset the values of pulse inputs A and B in ”SETUP loop”, so that the meter’s display is in accordance
with the connected water and/or electricity meter(s). The example is based on the connection of a water meter.
- If the meter’s radio communication is switched off via ”SETUP loop”, the meter switches on
radio communication again at the next integration (calculation of energy and volume).
- The symbols for radio on/off indicate whether the meter allows radio communication, not
whether a radio module has activated its radio communication. Please be aware of this when
troubleshooting the meter’s wireless communication.
