Step-by-step instructions: heat reader

With this step-by-step guide, you can install your heat reader yourself in just a few minutes – from attaching it to the heat meter to integrating it into the electricity reader app.

Installation of your heat reader

This guide will walk you through the physical installation of your heat reader on the heat meter, step by step.

First of all: Why is the Wi-Fi module rotatable and removable?

The heat meter reader consists of two parts: a reading head (TTL head) and a Wi-Fi module. The USB-C port is located on the Wi-Fi module, which can be easily detached from the reading head for flexible mounting and attached separately using the included 3M adhesive strip – for example, in a location with better Wi-Fi reception or more space. If your heat meter offers sufficient space, you can also mount the heat meter reader as a single unit (without separating the two parts).

Step 1: Installation on the heat meter

Attach your heat meter reader to the heat meter (see Fig. 1). To do this, stick the supplied metal disc in the center of the optical interface of your heat meter. Ensure that the interface is not covered. Place the heat meter reader onto the metal disc – it will hold automatically thanks to the built-in magnet.

Attach the Wi-Fi module separately

If space is insufficient or reception is poor, the WIFI module can be detached from the reading head and attached to a suitable location in the environment using the included 3M adhesive strip.
