What does the number 1 on the digital radiator meter mean?

Hello, can anyone explain to me what is shown on a digital radiator meter?

the number 1, 2, 3, or 4 means something. I would like to know what I used. If the 1, 2, 3, or 4 represents a unit, then I would like to know how many kWh there are in one unit. No one has been able to explain it to me in a plausible way. Thank you very much.

The measuring units on the heater do not determine kWh.

These detect the temperature difference between the heater and the room. This difference is detected as a count value over time. The height of the count has nothing to do with the spent heat energy and serves merely as a comparison value between all consumers. This means that the total consumption is proportionally divided into all count values.

The numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 on your presumably 4 heaters could be the heater numbers so that the count values can be assigned to a heater even after evaluation.

No consumption is recorded.

A numerical value is formed via the temperature difference in front of and behind the measuring unit and is added over time. This value could of course be, for example, 1 or 999. Although the higher value is supposed to suggest a higher consumption, this does not necessarily correspond to the truth.

If this is not the counter number, it is a comparison value.

For example, if the total house was used for heat of € 10,000 (gas, oil or electricity), part of this is usually divided over the inhabited square meters. As an example 50% over living area –> This means, for example, a 1,000m2 building for an apartment with a 100m2 share of 500€.

The remaining 50% are then adjusted by the factors. As an example, the house has a total of 10,000 comparison units, of which 2,000 have occurred in your apartment. Then the share would be €1,000.

Since I do not know your contract and also do not know how the measuring units are read out, I cannot answer that to you. But if the measuring unit can be read over the distance, the Ista can also inform you monthly your proportionate consumption. The way that is now assembled should be in your rental agreement.

first converted from oil to district heat

This basically does not alter the heating cost distribution (m2 and measuring units).

But you’re gonna pay a monthly discount with your rent, right? So far, I wouldn’t worry and wait for the first bill.

No problem. Unfortunately, this is never explained to the tenants when they move in.

oh… and the measuring units have never interest you before?

Well, then you’d have to have a heating bill of the last few years. You should be able to understand the division and your theoretical consumption.
