H8186-CB INSTALLATIoN GUIDe
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 Configuration section on page 3 of this installation guide).
1. Turn off 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 confirm that
power is off.
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 H8186-
CB 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.

terminals.
5. If the demand sub-interval feature is used, wire into the end of the demand
sub-interval terminal.
6. Replace the voltage terminal into the energy meter.
troubleshooting
If communications are not working properly, first 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.
There are five LEDs that indicate various types of communication.

Not Blinking There is no communication from the
H8163 to the master. Check the
wiring; TX+/TX- and RX+/RX- may be
reversed. Correct the wiring. If RX is
blinking, verify the DIP switch address,
baud rate, and wire type.
2 RS-485 (RX) Not Blinking There is no communication from the
master. The RX+ and RX- wires are
reversed. Correct the wiring.
