configuration
This section describes the communications settings you must make to the H8186-CB.
When daisy-chaining devices, follow these guidelines:
• Connect up to 63 H8186-CB devices on a single daisy chain.
• Each H8186-CB device on the daisy chain must have a unique address.
Before connecting the H8186-CB to the RS-485 communication wires,
set the address according to directions in “Selecting the Network Address
DIP Switches” on this page. If you assign the same address to two devices,
neither device will communicate.
• Set the baud rate according to directions in “Selecting Baud Rate —
Communication DIP Switches.” The settings for each H8186-CB must
match the other devices on its daisy chain.
• For RS-485 cables, use shielded, twisted-pair wire (Belden Cable 1120A or
equivalent).
• If the H8186-CB is the last device, terminate it 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 H8186-CB
on a daisy chain must have a unique network address (from 0 to 63). Devices with the
same address will be unable to communicate.
Always set the address before you install the H8186-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, page 6 lists DIP switch
positions for specic addresses.
Network Address DIP Switch Values

In this example, the network address for the device
is 40. Switch 4 and 6 oer the only combination of
values that total 40.
This gure illustrates how to set the switches. Up is
ON; down is OFF.
Selecting Baud Rate – Communication DIP Switches
Use the communication DIP switches (pictured below) to set the H8186-CB baud rate.
The gures below list the baud rate switch settings and the location of these
switches.

Daisy Chain Maximum Distances
The maximum number of devices capable of being supported on a single daisy chain
is determined based on the combination of baud rate, the length of the daisy chain,
and the types of RS-485 devices on the daisy chain. The RS-485 interface will support
daisy chains that fall within the specications shown below.

Wiring the Connector
Remove the connector from the RS-485 communication terminals of the H8186-CB
(see Wiring Diagram section). To wire RS-485 communications, follow these steps:
1. Wire the communications connector for 2-wire communication (see Wiring
Diagram section). The Wire Type setting in the communication DIP switch must
match this wiring type (set Switch 2 to the ON position; see Selecting Baud Rate
section).
2. Use a small, at-blade screwdriver to tighten the connector screws.
3. Replace the connector on the RS-485 communication terminals of the H8186-CB.
4. If the H8186-CB is the last device on the daisy chain, terminate it to ensure reliable
communication per the RS-485 standard (120 Ω nominal impedence).

installing the h8186-cb in the
energy meter
Before beginning this procedure, set the baud rate using the Communication DIP
switches, and set the network address using the Network Address DIP switches (see
the Conguration section on page 3 of this installation guide).
1. Turn o all power to the energy meter and the equipment in which it is
installed:
a. Remove the voltage terminal from the energy meter and all fuses.
b. Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to conrm that
power is o.
2. To discharge static, follow the instructions that come with your anti-static
or grounding strap. Use an anti-static or grounding strap at all times during
installation.
3. Slide the H8186-CB into the slot in the H81xx energy meter. The sides of the
H8186-CB slide down into the channels on either side of the energy meter. When
the male connection to the energy meter (see below) clicks into place, the H8186CB is properly installed.
Observe handling precautions for static sensitive
devices to avoid damage to the circuitry which
would not be covered under the factory warranty.

If communications are not working properly, rst check that the board is properly
seated in its slot in the energy meter, and that the connector has clicked into place in
the connection slot on the meter.

Clear the kWh accumulator to zero by writing 0.0 to the PRESENT_VALUE property Analog Value Object 1.
Changing the Device_Instance:
• Units are shipped with a default Device Instance of 123.
• There are 2 methods of changing the Device_Instance:
1. Write the Object_Identier directly. The Device’s Object_Identier contains both the Object_Type (Device = 8) and the Object_Instance (0-4194302). Write
the Device’s Object_Identier with (8,Instance) to change the Device_Instance.
2. Use Analog Value Object 2. Although a REAL (i.e. oating point) value, writing the Present_Value of AV2 is an alternative method of changing the Device_
Instance. This value may be written in the range 0-4194302. Any fractional value will be truncated (e.g. 57.234 will be written as 57).
