Brunata Minometer M8 Allocator: Efficient Heat Cost Distribution with Smart Technology
Minometer M8: A Smart Heat Cost Allocator for Modern Buildings
The Brunata Minometer is a high-precision electronic heat cost allocator designed to accurately measure radiator-based heat consumption in residential, commercial, and public buildings. Equipped with an integrated LoRaWAN® wireless interface, this device enables seamless connectivity with other smart building systems, making your heating infrastructure a part of the Internet of Things (IoT).
Through this integration, building owners and managers benefit from enhanced monitoring, improved energy efficiency, and data-driven decision-making.
Wide Range of Applications: Compatible with Most Heating Systems
The Minometer supports a wide operating temperature range from 35°C to 130°C, making it compatible with various heating system types, including:
- Single-pipe systems
- Two-pipe systems
- Low-temperature heating installations
Thanks to its adaptable design, the device delivers precise, reliable measurements across different building types — from apartment complexes to office buildings and public facilities — regardless of system size or configuration.
Dual-Sensor Measurement for Maximum Accuracy
At the core of the Minometer's reliability lies its dual-sensor measurement technology. This system continuously records:
- Radiator surface temperature
- Ambient room temperature
The combination of these two data points enables the allocator to deliver accurate calculations of actual heating usage, resulting in fair and transparent heat cost distribution across different units or rooms.
The allocator also supports a “heating-only” operating mode, which intelligently filters out heat from non-radiator sources — such as direct sunlight or nearby electronic devices. This prevents the registration of false consumption and guarantees that only genuine radiator heating is recorded. The result: accurate billing, reduced disputes, and increased trust among residents.
Built-In Safety and Tamper Protection
To ensure system integrity and long-term reliability, the Minometer includes automatic self-diagnostics and tamper protection mechanisms. These features detect:
- Operational irregularities
- Attempted tampering or manipulation
This ensures continuous data accuracy and helps maintain compliance with regulatory standards for heat cost allocation and tenant billing.
Seamless Integration with Brunata’s Remote Reading System
The Minometer is fully compatible with the Brunata remote reading ecosystem, allowing easy integration with other IoT-enabled devices such as:
- Water meters
- Heat meters
- Smoke detectors
- Leak sensors
Powered by LoRaWAN® connectivity, the system supports:
- Secure and encrypted data transmission
- Scalable network expansion
- Centralized data management in real-time
Building managers can remotely monitor consumption, set alerts, and manage the entire heating infrastructure from a single cloud-based platform, reducing administrative time and improving responsiveness.
Key Features of the Brunata Minometer M8
- Remote Data Collection: Consumption data is automatically transmitted via LoRaWAN®, eliminating the need for manual readings.
- External Heat Detection Filtering: Advanced algorithms exclude interference from non-heating sources for accurate heat measurement.
- Clear LCD Display: A user-friendly 5-digit screen provides real-time usage data, improving transparency for end users.
- Robust Interference Resistance: Built to withstand thermal, electrical, and magnetic interference, ensuring long-lasting precision.
- Encrypted Data Security: All transmitted data is fully encrypted, protecting user privacy and safeguarding system access.
Conclusion
The Brunata Minometer is more than a simple allocator — it is a smart energy management tool designed for the future of building operations. With advanced sensor technology, tamper detection, real-time wireless communication, and seamless integration into remote metering platforms, the M8 delivers:
- Accurate cost allocation
- Improved energy transparency
- Scalable integration into smart buildings
Whether used in residential buildings, office complexes, or public infrastructure, the Minometer helps you optimize heating usage, reduce disputes, and transition to a data-driven, energy-efficient building environment.
