Honeywell 62-0342-01 User Manual
SUB Series Interval Data Recorders
INSTALLATION MANUAL
PRE-INSTALLATION INFORMATION
The SUB Series Interval Data Recorder (IDR) is an energy
data collection device. Installation must be performed by
qualified personnel only and must be in accordance with local
and national electrical codes. Honeywell and its
representatives are not responsible for damage or injury from
improper installation.
The IDR is contained within a NEMA 12 enclosure and is
designed for INDOOR USE ONLY, where ambient
temperatures are between +32 and +120 ºF. It is available in 8
and 16 input configurations.
The SUBIDR must be located in an area that is central to the
meters connected to it.
IMPORTANT:
The meter that is connected to meter jack #1 on the
IDR must be within 100 feet from the IDR, as it supplies low-voltage power to operate the IDR. All other
meters can be located up to 500 feet from the IDR.
NOTE: The IDR with modular jacks is designed to operate
with Honeywell meters only. Terminal input models
can support the monitoring of third-party metering
equipment; contact Honeywell for further information.
NOTE: IDRs with modular jacks can be powered from either
the first Honeywell meter or by an external power
supply (requires 120 VAC). IDRs with removable
screw-type connectors require an external power
supply (provided).
SUBIDR-16’s are supplied with an ID letter for each group of 8
inputs to make them compatible with E-Mon Energy™
software. The available choices are A-B, C-D, E-F, G-H, I-J, KL, M-N, O-P, Q-R, S-T, U-V, W-X and Y-Z. No other combinations are available. When mixing 8-point and 16-point IDRs
together, it may be necessary to jump a letter in the system.
As an example, if you have an 8-point IDR labeled “A”, “B” and
“C”, the 16-point IDR to choose would be the E-F unit.
The IDR is available in three configurations.
1. Modular Jacks (SUBIDR-8 and SUBIDR-16): Supplied
with all modular jacks for use only with Honeywell
meters.
The IDR must be installed in a location according to these
guidelines to ensure continued safe, trouble-free operation.
— Do not install near sensitive radio communication
equipment or receiving antenna systems.
— Do not install near high-energy electrical fields such as
those produced by welding equipment or by highpower electrical motors.
— Always install in an area that is dry, away from any
potential liquid or chemical splash hazards. Never
install electrical equipment in an area where flammable chemicals or vapors are present.
— The IDR enclosure’s door must be kept closed once
installed. Exposing the internal circuits to dust, dirt,
fumes or high humidity can damage the IDR.
NOTE: All internal circuits are isolated from the AC line.

2. Plug-In Screw-Type Connectors (SUBIDR-8 and
SUBIDR-16): Supplied with all plug-in screw-type connectors for use with third-party meters (electric, gas,
water, etc.) that are provided with a dry contact pulse
output. (Requires external power supply.)

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT:
THE INTERNAL CIRCUITS OF THE IDR CAN BE
DAMAGED BY ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE.
BEFORE REACHING INSIDE THE ENCLOSURE,
DISCHARGE YOURSELF BY TOUCHING AN
EARTH-GROUNDED OBJECT.
ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE OF STATIC ELECTRICITY ONTO THE CIRCUIT BOARD CAN RESULT IN:
- LOSS OF STORED DATA
- A SYSTEM LOCK-UP
- PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE IDR
Connect this meter to jack #1 on the IDR using an 8conductor flat modular cable. (See Chapter 5.0 if the
IDR has the optional AC adapter.)
3. *All remaining Honeywell meters must be connected to
the meter jacks #2-8 using 6-conductor flat modular
cable.
4. SUBIDR-16 - If the IDR is an SUBIDR-16, connect the
additional meters to Jacks # 9-16 on the option card
using 6-conductor flat modular cable.
5. SUBIDR-8s orSUBIDR-16s supplied with plug-in screw
type connectors can be up to 500 feet from all meters,
and utilize a pair of wires for connecting to the meter
pulse output.
* See Appendix C for items 2 & 3 above.
** For more information on cable assembly, see Appendix A.
Pulse Output Meters (IDR-ST models only):
1. Each meter is interfaced with the IDR through the plug-
in screw type connectors. Any of the connectors may be
used with #22-14 AWG conductors.
2. When used with solid-state switches, correct polarity
must be observed in order for that contact to be recognized. COM (or “C”) on the IDR is 12 VDC that must be
connected to the + side of the pulse switch. The return
side of the switch is connected to SIG (or “S”) on the
IDR.
The IDR is available in two types of enclosure systems:
1. Stand-Alone IDR (Standard Configuration)
The stand-alone IDR configuration consists of a single
IDR unit. The enclosure should be mounted using the
mounting flanges located at the top and bottom of the
enclosure. The enclosure has three available knockouts
for cable entrance/ exit from the IDR.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO DRILL THROUGH THE
STEEL ENCLOSURE. DOING SO MAY
PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE ELECTRONIC
CIRCUITRY AND WILL VOID ALL WARRANTIES.
CONNECTING METERS TO THE IDR
Honeywell Meter Connections
1. Each Honeywell meter has two modular jacks located at
the top of the main circuit board. The jack on the left
(RJ-45, 8-pin), labeled “IDR”, is used to connect the
meter to the IDR. NEVER USE THE 6-PIN JACK
LOCATED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE METER CIRCUIT BOARD TO CONNECT ANY IDR.
2. * Be sure that one Honeywell meter is located within
100 feet of the IDR. This meter will be used to supply
the low-voltage power necessary to operate the IDR.
Fig. 4. Observe polarity when using solid-state switches
with pulse output meters.
3. The meter can be up to 500 feet away from the IDR.
Third-Party Meter Connections
In order to connect “third-party” meters such as gas, water or
utility-type meters, the IDR must be ordered with the screw
terminal connectors (designated with the suffix B or C at the
end of the model number) instead of the modular jacks.
The IDR for third-party metering is always powered by the
optional AC adapter power supply and requires an available
120 VAC receptacle to obtain the power. The receptacle must
not be switched off at any time. See Section 5.0, Optional AC
Adapter.
The input pulses supplied to the IDR must be non-powered,
and they can be either physical (mechanical) contacts or
electronic switches. When electronic switches are used, the
“COM” terminal on the IDR is the “+” output and the “SIG” is
the return from the switch.
The IDR with modular jacks automatically detects when an
Honeywell meter is connected to it so that it can be
recognized by the software when the meters are added or
62-0342—01 2

removed. The third-party meter IDR uses a DIP switch to
perform this function. This switch is preset at the factory and
requires no further adjustment.
Fig. 5. Overview of main circuit board.
MAIN CIRCUIT BOARD VISUAL CHECKS
Once you have connected meter #1 to jack #1 in the IDR, the
IDR should be energized. If the IDR is not energized, verify:
1. Meter #1 is turned on. (Meter #1 powers the IDR; if
Meter #1 is not installed and powered up, the IDR will
not function.)
2. Verify that JMP8 on the IDR circuit board has a jumper
installed.
3. Verify that J23 & J24 on the IDR circuit board are set in
the position labeled “MTR”. Both jumpers should be set
to the RIGHT position.
4. Verify that the cable between Meter #1 and Jack #1 on
the IDR is properly assembled. (See Appendix A for
cable assembly.)
NOTE: If the IDR is being powered by the optional AC
adapter instead of by Meter #1, see Section 5.0.
Verify the status of the LED indicators on the IDR circuit
board. (See Appendix B for locations.)
1. Power Supply Indicators
— L3, green -> This LED is ON.
— L1, green -> This LED is ON.
2. System status indicators
— D4 (CPU), red -> This LED flashes once per sec-
ond. If D4 flashes twice per second, the IDR is not
initialized. This will be addressed later using EMon Energy software.
— D7 (Low Battery) -> This LED must be OFF. This
LED indicates a low or missing battery.
— D6 (System Error) -> This LED must be OFF.
3. Meter pulse indicators
— Yellow LEDs P1 through P8 may be flashing.
These LEDs indicate each meter’s pulse rate.
The flash rate depends on how much load the
meter is measuring. The faster the pulse the
greater the load.
IMPORTANT:
IF THE METER MEASURES ZERO LOAD, THERE
IS NO METER PULSE, WHEN THE PULSE RATE
IS ZERO THE YELLOW LED INDICATOR WILL
REMAIN EITHER ON OR OFF UNTIL THERE IS A
LOAD.
NOTE: If one of the LEDs does not flash, verify the meter
connection first. If the meter is properly connected,
check the meter’s display for a flashing load indicator.
4. Panel Indicators
— Two LEDs are visible through the window on the
door of the stand-alone enclosure. THESE LEDS
ARE NOT PRESENT IN MMU STYLE IDRS.
— Green LED (Power Indicator) -> The green LED
indicates that power is present at the IDR.
— Red LED (Tamper Alarm) -> The red LED indi-
cates that the IDR door has been opened. This
tamper alarm LED will be on when the door is
closed, and will flash when the door is open.
When the software startup is performed, the IDR
will be initialized by the E-Mon Energy software
and the alarm LED will turn off as long as the door
remains closed. The alarm can only be reset
through the software.
5. IDR 16 Option 16 Card (applies only to the SUBIDR-16
model.)
— For each meter (9-16) installed on the options
card, another set of yellow LEDs (P9-P16) will be
present. These LEDs indicate the meter pulse
rate for meters #9 through #16.
OPTIONAL AC ADAPTER (OPTIONAL EXTERNAL 120 VAC POWER SUPPLY)
If you are NOT using the optional AC adapter to power the
IDR, proceed to Section 6.0.
Instead of powering the IDR using Meter #1, Honeywell can
supply an optional AC adapter. If the IDR was provided with
this option, verify the following:
1. Jumpers J23 & J24 on the IDR circuit board are set to
the LEFT position (position labeled “EXT”.)
2. Jumper at JMP8 MUST be removed.
3. The AC adapter’s two-wire cord must be plugged into
the IDR at TB9. (The polarity of these wires does not
matter.)
4. Plug the AC adapter into a 120 VAC outlet.
3 62-0342—01
SUB SERIES INTERVAL DATA RECORDERS
IMPORTANT:
The AC adapter is designed to be used with a 120
VAC outlet only.
5. The IDR should now be energized. Perform the visual
checks outlined in section 4.
NOTE: The AC adapter provides an isolated 18 VAC/300
mA power source for the IDR.
SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS
Hardwired System using the SUB-RS232K
Communication Key.
(See the hardwired system configuration diagrams in
Appendix F.)
The SUB-RS232K communications key allows you to connect
IDRs to a personal computer that has E-Mon Energy software
installed. The computer communicates with the IDRs through
the SUB-RS232K.
The SUB-RS232K must be located within 15 feet of the host
computer.
Connecting the SUB-RS232K to the
computer
The SUB-RS232K is supplied with:
• (1) 8-conductor cable fitted with RJ-45 plugs
• (1) DB-9 serial COM port adapter
• (1) AC adapter that converts 120 VAC into the 7 VAC
used to power the SUB-RS232K.
1. Connect the 8-conductor cable to the left-side jack
(labeled “RS232”) on the rear panel of the SUBRS232K.
2. Connect the appropriate COM port adapter (DB-9) to
the serial port on the back of the computer. Plug the 8conductor cable from the SUB-RS232K into the COM
port adapter.
3. Connect the 7 VAC AC adapter into the rear panel input
on the SUB-RS232K. Plug the adapter into a 120 VAC
outlet. On the front panel of the SUB-RS232K, two
LEDs will light up (POWER ON and AC ON.)
METHOD 1: MODULAR PLUG METHOD
This method requires using 4 stranded conductors inside a
cable that is fitted with an RJ-11 type plug for 4-conductor
modular systems at each end of the cable.
* Do not use any pre-made telephone cables. See Appendix A
for correct cable configuration.
1. Plug the 4-wire RJ-11 cable/plug assembly into Channel
A on the SUB-RS232K. Connect the other end of this
cable to the IDR at either of the two RS-485 ports at the
top left of the IDR circuit board.
2. The unused RS-485 port is used to connect another
cable to the next IDR. This is called a “daisy-chain” connection. This can be done repeatedly to connect as
many as 52 individual IDRs.
NOTE: The total combined cable length must be no more
than 4,000 feet.
3. Each IDR has two LEDs (yellow and green) located
directly below the RS-485 jacks. If the system is properly wired, these two LEDs will normally be OFF. These
LEDs will flash when the computer and IDR are communicating.
METHOD 2: TERMINAL BLOCK METHOD
IDRs may also be daisy-chained using a 3-conductor cable.
Instead of using the two modular jacks for the RS-485 daisy
chain, you can use J20 at the bottom right corner of the IDR
circuit board.
Remove this 3-terminal plug to facilitate attaching the wires
using the screw terminals that are captivated within the plug
housing.
1. 1. Daisy-chain the IDRs by connecting:
• All HI terminals together
• All LO terminals together
• All GND terminals together
** This requires putting two wires into each of the 3 terminals.
2. Connecting to the SUB-RS232K.
You will need to attach an RJ-11 modular plug to the cable that
serves the RS-485 system.
On each channel on the back of the SUB-RS232K, the pin out
for each channel is as follows:
NOTE: When E-Mon Energy software is accessed on the
computer, a third LED will turn on. The SUB-RS232K
READY indicator will light up as soon as the E-Mon
Energy software is booted up and the correct COM
port is set up via the settings provided in the software’s Locations menu.
Connecting IDRs to the SUB-RS232K using
RS-485
On the rear panel of the SUB-RS232K, there are three jacks
labeled as channels A, B and C. These are RS-485 serial
communications ports used to connect the IDRs. Each of
these three channels can be connected to as many as 52
individual IDRs over a total cable distance of 4000 feet.
Channels are independent and must not be connected to
each other. (See Appendix F.)

• PIN1 - Not used
• PIN2 - GND
•PIN3 - HI
• PIN4 - LO
NOTE: It is okay to use the J20 with the modular jacks if
needed.
This completes the installation of the IDR hardwired system.
SUB SERIES INTERVAL DATA RECORDERS
Using the USB connection on your
computer
As an alternative to the SUB-RS232K converter, we offer the
SUB-USBK that allows you to convert the RS485 output from
your IDRs for direct connect to your USB connection on your
computer.
Baud Rate Selection
The communication baud rate is selected by means of a
jumper on the circuit board (See appendix C for location.)
There are three (3) selections: 19200, 9600 (factory default)
and 2400.
1. When using the IDR with a modem, the rate of 9600
should always be selected.
2. The baud rate on the IDR must always match the baud
rate selected in the E-Mon Energy software. Communication will not work if they are not set correctly.
3. After a baud rate change, press CPU Reset (See
Appendix C) to register the change in the IDR.
4. All IDRs in the “daisy chain” circuit must be set at the
same baud rate.
