Instruction for Use | HCA 56x and 8x8
Sontex 878 :
Radio heat cost allocators with optical interface and bidirectional radio LoRaWAN® (EU868).
Sontex 565 X / 566 X / 868 X / 878X:
Heat cost allocators with the same characteristics as Sontex 565/ 566/ 868/ 878. X-types are
to be used primarily for the replacement of Kundo devices 201/202
For each version of heat cost allocator, it is possible to plug the connector of the remote sensor
to an interface inside the heat cost allocator. Refer to chapter 7.6 Mounting of the Remote Sensor.
Once equipped with a remote sensor, the heat cost allocator will only work for an application
with remote sensor. Remote sensor is available with a 2 m or 5 m cable.
3.9 Optical Interface
With an optical probe the consumption and configuration values of the heat cost allocator 565
/ 566 / 868 / 878 can be transferred directly to a computer. The data are transmitted in M-Bus
format acc. to EN136757-3. Authorised personnel can alter the configuration of the device over
the optical interface with an optical probe
3.10 Radio Sontex ( Sontex 566)
The radio heat cost allocator 566 features a transceiver circuit in the 433 MHz band with
integrated antenna. The Sontex radio system is a bidirectional system, i.e. the radio heat cost
allocator is only called upon request to send its data from a mobile modem or a radio central
646 or Gateway Superlink C.
Information about the time period of the radio readout can be found in chapter
6.11.3 Working mode radio SONTEX (Sontex 566).
3.11 Radio wM-Bus Funk (Sontex 868)
The radio heat cost allocator 868 features a transmitter circuit in the 868 MHz band with
integrated antenna.
This radio module comprises a unidirectional radio transmitter which is used to transfer data
according to the wM-Bus (EN 13757-4) radio communication protocol and in compliance with the
OMS (Open Metering System) Release V4.0
Information about the time period of the radio readout can be found in chapter
6.11.4 Working mode radio wM-Bus (Sontex 868).
3.12 Radio LoRaWAN® (Sontex 878)
The radio heat cost allocator 878 transmits on the EU868 transmission frequencies, ETS stan-
dard (EN300.220).
The Sontex radio heat cost allocator 878 uses bidirectional radio technology class A, uplink /
downlink according to EN60870-5 (M-Bus).
Information about the time period of the radio readout can be found in chapter
6.11.5 Working mode radio LoRaWAN® (Sontex 878).
