H8830

oPeration

The H8830 wireless Modbus®/pulse transceiver from Veris Industries is perfect for submetering commercial and industrial facilities and adding Modbus devices to any network without the need for costly communications wiring. The input port on the H8830 easily connects to new or existing Modbus and pulse devices (meters, sensors, etc.) to automatically detect the optimum route for reliable and timely data communications. Data from each H8830 passes from one transceiver to another to reach its ultimate destination. This self-managed mesh network allows the system to function with high reliability where other wireless systems fail due to short- or long-term interference from radio signals

installation

Modbus Address:1. Every Modbus device in the system

must have a unique address. This includes each H8830 and every attached RS-485/Modbus device. Select an address and set the DIP switches to match. The sum of the value of the switches is the address. In the example to the right, set address 52 by placing switch 4, 16, and 32 to the ON position.

System Switches: 2. For most systems, set all of the system switches to the “OFF”

position. The only required switch is the RS-485 baud rate option. Set this to “OFF” for 19200 or to “ON” for 9600. The example below is a default conﬁguration for 9600 baud on the RS-485 connection.

INSTALLATION GUIDE

Modbus Hookup:4. Attach any Modbus slave or master devices to the RS-485

terminals as shown in the wiring diagram. Multiple Modbus devices may be attached to each H8830.

Note: When attaching Modbus devices, it is not necessary to specify if the device is a master (H8820, PLC, etc) or a slave device (power meter, sensor, etc). The H8830 will automatically detect the master and handle it appropriately.

Attach the Antenna:5. Attach the antenna to the side of the H8830. The antenna

should be ﬁnger tight and be placed in a vertical position.

Power up the H8830: 6. Attach the power brick to the power jack on the H8830.

The device should power up and be ready in a few seconds. The LEDs should blink in the following manner.

The Alive LED should start to blink about once per • second. The Alarm LED will blink if transmission errors occur.• The RF TX/RX LEDs will blink when the radio is • receiving or transmitting data. The RS-485 LEDs will blink for local Modbus activity.• The Pulse input LEDs will light when the • corresponding pulse input terminals are closed.

Pulse Hookup:3. Attach any dry contact pulse

output meters to the pulse input terminals as shown in the wiring diagram to the right. The H8830 can support two pulse devices.

The H8830 can be attached to many types of pulse output meter. Power, water, gas, etc. For “KYZ” type power meters, use the normally open contacts, usually labeled “K and Z”.

Pulse Count: The pulse count is stored as an unsigned 32-bit integer. This allows 1.

for 232 pulses (4.2 billion) to be counted before rollover. On Modbus systems that do not allow you to read 32-bit values, you can calculate the pulse count as follows:

count = MSW * 65535 + LSW

Instantaneous Pulse Rate: The pulse rate values for instantaneous, minimum, and 2.

maximum rates are calculated based on the time between arriving pulses. For example, if InstPulse1 = 30 and InstPulse count size = 5, then the average rate for the last 5 pulses is 6 sec/pulse. To convert the register values (in seconds) to a rate value, use the following formula:

Rate/hour = (N * 60 * 60 / InstRegister)

where InstRegister is any of the 6 register values 4 through 9, and N is the instantaneous pulse count size at oﬀset 10.

Min/Max Pulse Rate: These 4 registers are calculated from the instantaneous pulse 3.

rate. These latching registers are updated whenever the minimum or maximum rate ﬁelds are exceeded by the instantaneous rate. These four registers may be cleared by writing a zero to the register. Writing to one min./max. register clears all four min./max. registers.
