INSTALLATION GUIDE

OPERATION

The H8163-CB energy meter communication board is an optional eld-installable board for the H8163 energy meter that allows Modbus RTU communication. The H8163-CB also enables the energy meter to provide true kW & kVAR demand information.

The easy-to-install H8163-CB provides a simple, cost-eective way to network the H8163 energy meter on a Modbus network.

CONFIGURATION

This section describes the communications settings you must make to the H8163-CB. When daisy-chaining Modbus devices, follow these guidelines:

• Connect up to 63 H8163-CB devices on a single daisy chain.

• Each H8163-CB device on the daisy chain must have a unique address.

Before connecting the H8163-CB to the RS-485 communication wires, set the address according to directions on this page.

• Set the wiring type, baud rate, and parity according to directions in “Selecting Wiring Type, Baud Rate, and Parity Settings” on this page. The settings for each H8163-CB must match the other devices on its daisy chain.

• For RS-485 cables, use shielded, twisted-pair wire (Belden Cable 1120A or equivalent).

• Terminate the last device on the daisy chain to ensure reliable communication per the RS-485 standard (120 Ω nominal impedence).

Selecting The Network Address DIP Switches

Use the network address DIP switches to select the network address. Each H8163-CB on a daisy chain must have a unique network address (from 1 to 63). Devices with the same address as another on the chain will be unable to communicate.

Always set the address before you install the H8163-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 Modbus Addressing section on page 6 lists DIP switch positions for specic addresses.

INSTALLATION GUIDE

Setting the Communication DIP Switches

Switch 1 is unused. Always leave it in the OFF position.

This example illustrates the default switch settings for a 2-wire device that uses 9600 baud rate with no p arit y.

RS-485 COMMUNICATIONS SETUP

Daisy Chain Maximum Distances

The maximum number of devices allowed on a single daisy chain is determined by combining the baud rate, the length of the daisy chain, and the types of RS-485 devices (2-wire/4-wire) on the chain. The RS-485 interface will support daisy chains that fall within the specications shown below.

Wiring the Connector

1. Remove the connector from the RS-485 communication terminals of the H8163CB.

2. Wire the communications connector as shown on page 4 (2-wire or 4-wire communication). The wire type set ting in the communication DIP switch must match this wiring type.

3. Use a small, at-blade screwdriver to tighten the connector screws. Apply the correct torque: 0.37-0.44 ft·lb (0.5-0.6 N·m).

4. Replace the connector on the RS-485 communication terminals of the H8163-CB.

5. If the H8163-CB is the last device in a daisy chain, terminate it to ensure reliable communication per the RS-485 standard (120 Ω nominal impedence).
