H81xx

Energy Meter

Product Overview

The H81xx Series energy meter combines industrial-grade split-core current transformers and precision
microprocessor-based metering electronics. It can detect phase reversal, eliminating load orientation concerns. The
meter and current transformers are calibrated as a set, so the installer must match their serial numbers at the time
of installation. The H8150 provides a control power voltage range of 90-132 VAC. The H8163 and H8167 provide an
extended input control power voltage range (90-300 VAC).

The H8163 and H8167 models also have a pulse output compatible with building control systems and a phase loss
output to protect equipment. All models include a slot to install a Modbus, BACnet, or Metasys communication
board (sold separately). When equipped with this board and connected to a data acquisition system, the H8163 and
H8167 can report energy and power diagnostic variables, including kWh, kW, PF, kVAR, Volts, and Amps.

Installation

Disconnect and lock out all power sources during installation and conguration.

If making connections to the meter through more than one metallic conduit, use a bonding

plate (Veris part number AH11 or equivalent) to prevent electric shock.

1. Verify that the serial number on the meter matches the serial numbers on the current transformers (CTs). These are calibrated
as a set, and mixing transformers with non-matching meters may damage the device when power is applied. The meter’s serial
number is printed on the label axed to the inside of the front cover, and the CT serial number is on the CT label. If using 100 A
CTs, serial number matching does not apply.

Match serial numbers

between meters an d CTs.

Serial number matching does

not apply if using 100 A CTs.

2. Mount the meter.

3. Attach the CTs to the conductors. Local code requirements may require a mounting bracket. For maximum accuracy, run the
conductor through the center of the current transformer window.

4. Optional step, per NEC and local regulations: Attach external fuses (not included with the H81xx devices). Verify that the fuse
rating is adequate for the applied voltage, with a current rating of ½ Amp (T) slow blow. Select fuses with a fault current rating
that matches the power source rating.

Use fuses compatib le with this meter:

Two phase Veris AH03

5. Use color coding to attach current transformer (CT) leads to the input terminals (e.g. red labeled lead to red terminal). Polarity
is indicated in the wiring diagrams, but the meter is not polarity sensitive. See the Wiring section.

6. Use color coding to connect voltage leads to phase conductors (e.g. red transformer lead to red terminal). The meter is powered
from the monitored source, so connect the voltage leads to a circuit that is normally left on. See the Wiring section.

7. H8163 and H8167: Connect the output terminals to the control/data acquisition system. The Pulse Output is normally open. For
the H8163, the Phase Loss Output is normally open, and for the H8167, it is normally closed. Both are rated for 24 VAC/VDC@100
mA maximum. Ensure that the installation method and insulation ratings conform to local and national electrical codes.

12. Apply power to the meter.

13. Check the display. At initial power-up, the meter checks each phase. If the phasing is correct, an OKAY message appears. If
the phasing is incorrec t, an error message indicates which color leads are not connected properly. Disconnect power before
reconnecting leads.

14. Check the power reading. Expected power is estimated as follows:

kW = Volts(L-L) * Amps * 1.732 * PF 1000

kW = horsepower * 0.746

15. To reset the kWh accumulator to zero, press and hold the two pushbuttons on the inside of the meter cover for 10 seconds.
