The electronic heat cost allocator with radio transmission of 15 monthly and semi-monthly values.
Flexible in use due to individual setting options for billing and radio transmission parameters. The Engelmann heat cost allocator thus provides you with the basis for future-proof consumption data recording. The heat cost allocator is a recording device for the consumption-based calculation of heating costs. Unlike a heat meter, for example, it does not measure the amount of heat, but provides dimensionless units that reflect the temporal summation of the temperature difference between the radiator temperature and the room temperature. Ultimately, the individual consumption of the individual users is determined by calculating the ratio of the recording results of all heat cost allocators installed in the billing unit.
The electronic heat cost allocator HCA e2 is fully integrated into the Engelmann system landscape. The consumption data of the installed heat cost allocators are conveniently read out by the respective reception technology used (walk-by or Automatic Meter Reading – AMR). The Engelmann HCA e2 itself provides the basis for flexible adaptation to your individual readout management via its variable radio setup settings. If necessary, the most important data can also be read manually via the high-contrast display.
Even if you are currently still using walk-by readout, the seamless integration into the Engelmann system landscape makes it easy to switch to stationary readout (AMR/gateway), as no adjustments (setup changes) to the heat cost allocator are necessary. The new integrated seal as well as an extension and deepening of the rear weld stud mount ensure quick and easy assembly. Thanks to further development in the area of assembly and installation, which we are constantly making easier and more effective, and the possibility of making the determined consumption data available safely and quickly, regardless of the selected readout technology, the HCA e2 is the first choice for use in your estate.
