Kamstrup meter not working

I’ve just read my meter and it’s showing same figure as when I last read it 3 months ago and last time I read it I put new batteries in it as it had gone off. Should it not just carry on working after I put new batteries in?

they are ultrasonic, is it showing anything on screen, you can scroll through the menus and see what the various parts of the meter are doing, the flow meter, each sensor, hot and cold. if it has a fault it will show a flashing message across the top,

The manual isn’t very clear how to bring up the error but there is an error!
I can get this but it doesn’t match up with any of the error codes in the manual [emoji848]

Was the pump running when you took the reading and if you have back end protection was it on bypass or full flow (depending on meter location)

the back end protection is the mixer on the back, it is a pipe that runs between the flow and return to keep the boiler up to 60 deg to prolong its life, (to prevent cold water shock), this is normally set to bypass the buffer until the boiler gets to 60 ish, it also bypasses the heat meter depending on location of meter.

for my information, do you need to break the security seal to replace the batteries?
(just for when ours need doing)

I don’t think there was any seals on left hand side box with battery in. I’ve broken seal on right hand side thing and found water inside it. Replaced the circuit board inside it with a spare but still getting error so tomorrow I’m taking whole thing off and see if the water flow device is blocked
