Product description

VAD DN15 is a compact mechanical water meter platform for potable-water metering in household and light commercial systems. The product concept combines a conventional roller register with an optional battery-powered telemetry module for remote reading and event transmission. The communication function should be declared as an additional functionality without metrological impact where that matches the certified architecture.

Metering principle

  • Principle: Mechanical
  • The supplied artwork does not support an ultrasonic claim; therefore the master technical datasheet is drafted as a mechanical meter platform.

Metrological data

Data visible on supplied artwork

  • Qn 1.5 m³/h
  • T50
  • MAP16
  • +5…+90 °C
  • K = 4.440 × 10⁻⁶ m³/imp

Data required in the released EU datasheet

The final released technical datasheet shall declare the certified values for:

  • Accuracy / metrological class as applicable to the certified variant
  • R-value and orientation, where applicable
  • Q1
  • Q2
  • Q3
  • Q4
  • Starting flow, if declared
  • Maximum permissible error statement
  • Temperature class
  • Pressure loss class, if claimed
  • Sensitivity to flow disturbances, if claimed
  • Installation conditions required for declared performance

Note

Do not publish product-specific Q1/Q2/Q3/Q4 or R-values until they are taken directly from the EU type-examination certificate or other approved certification documents.
