H8163-CB INSTALLATION GUIDE
OPERATION
The H8163-CB energy meter communication board is an optional field-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-effective way to network the
H8163 energy meter on a Modbus network.

1. RS-485 LED (TX): Red LED; blinks to indicate data transmission from the H8163-
CB to the master.
2. RS-485 LED (RX): Red LED; blinks to indicate data reception from the master to
the H8163-CB.
3. LED from Main Board (RX): Green LED; blinks to indicate data reception from
the main board.
4. LED from Main Board (TX): Green LED; blinks to indicate data transmission to
the main board.
5. ALIVE LED: Green LED; should blink once per second to indicate normal operation.
6. Network Address DIP Switches: Use these DIP switches to set the network
address for the H8163-CB. See the Settings table on page 3 for more information.
7. Connection to Energy Meter: Install the H8163-CB in the energy meter by
inserting this connector into the connection slot at the top of the energy meter.
8. Communication DIP Switches: Use these DIP switches to set the H8163-CB
wiring type, baud rate, and parity. See “Setting the Communication DIP Switches”
on page 3 for instructions.
9. RS-485 Communication Terminals: Insert the RS-485 connector into these
terminals. See Wiring Diagrams on page 4 for instructions on wiring the connector
for 2-wire or 4-wire communications.
10. Input Connector: Use this terminal as the input connector for “end of demand
interval” signal from the utility or other source. Use an interposing isolated relay
as the dry contact for this terminal, as pictured below.
CAUTION! Danger of
explosion if battery is
incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same
or equivalent type. Dispose
of used batteries according
to applicable environmental
laws.
