FCC PART 15 INFORMATION NOTE: This equipment has been tested by the manufacturer and found

to comply with the limits for a class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. Modiﬁcations to this product without the express authorization of Veris Industries nullify this statement.

Observe handling precautions for static sensitive devices to avoid damage to the circuitry which would not be covered under the factory warranty.

The H8126-CB Energy Meter Communication Board is an optional ﬁeld-installable board for the H8163 Energy Meter, providing N2 communications capability. The H8126-CB also enables the energy meter to provide true kW & kVAR demand information.

The easy-to-install H8126-CB provides a simple, cost-eﬀective way to network the H8163 Energy Meter on the N2 bus.

INSTALLATION GUIDE

CAUTION! Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

RS-485 LED (TX):1. Red LED; blinks to indicate that the H8126-CB is transmitting

data to the master.

RS-485 LED (RX):2. Red LED; blinks to indicate that the H8126-CB is receiving data

from the master.

LED from Main Board (RX):3. Green LED; blinks to indicate that the H8126-CB is

receiving data from the main board.

LED from Main Board (TX):4. Green LED; blinks to indicate that the H8126-CB is

transmitting data to the main board.

“ALIVE” LED:5. Green LED; should blink once per second to indicate normal

operation of the H8126-CB.

N2 Network Address DIP Switches:6. Use these DIP switches to set the network

address for the H8126-CB. See the Settings table on page 3 for more information.

Connection to Energy Meter: Install the H8126-CB in the energy meter by

7. inserting this connector into the connection slot at the top of the energy meter.

Communication DIP Switches:8. N2 factory default

RS-485 Communication Terminals: 9. Insert the RS-485 connector into these

terminals. See Wiring Diagrams on page 4 for instructions on wiring the connector for 2-wire or 4-wire communications.

End of Demand Subinterval Terminal:10. Use this terminal as the input

connector for “end of demand interval” signal from the utility or other source. An interposing isolated relay should be used as the dry contact for this terminal, as pictured below. Do not apply voltage to this connection.

INSTALLATION GUIDE

InstallatIon

This section describes the communications settings you must make to the H8126-CB. When daisy-chaining N2 devices, follow these guidelines:

Connect up to 63 H8126-CB devices on a single daisy chain. • Each H8126-CB device on the daisy chain must have a unique address. • Before connecting the H8126-CB to the RS-485 communication wires, set the address according to directions on this page. For RS-485 cables, use shielded, twisted-pair wire (Belden Cable 1120A or • equivalent). Terminate the last device on the daisy chain. If the H8126-CB is the last • device in a daisy chain, terminate it to ensure reliable communication per the RS-485 standard (120Ω nominal impedence).

Selecting The Network Address – DIP Switches

Use the Network Address DIP switches to selec t the network address. Each H8126-CB on a daisy chain must have a unique network address (from 1 to 63). Devices with the same address will be unable to communicate.

Always set the address before you install the H8126-CB in the energy meter and before you connect the energy meter to the daisy chain.

Each of the six DIP switches has a unique address value. The N2 Addressing section on page 6 lists DIP switch positions for speciﬁc addresses.

Wiring the Connector

Remove the 5-pin connector from the RS-485 communication terminals of the 1.

H8126-CB.

Wire the communications connector as shown on page 4 (2-wire communication).2.

Use a small, ﬂat-blade screwdriver to tighten the connector screws.3.

Replace the connector on the RS-485 communication terminals of the H8126-CB.4.

If the H8126-CB is the last device in a daisy chain, terminate it to ensure reliable 5.

communication per the RS-485 standard (120Ω nominal impedence).
