H8163-CB INSTALLATION GUIDE
INSTALLING THE H8163-CB IN THE
ENERGY METER
Complete the Communications Setup and Wiring instructions
before installing the board inside the meter.
The H8163-CB is designed as a plug-and-play accessory for the H8163 energy meter.
Follow these instructions to install the H8163-CB into the energy meter.
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. We recommend using an anti-static or grounding strap until the
installation is complete.
3. Slide the H8163-CB into the slot in the H8163 housing. The sides of the H8163-
CB slide down into the channels on either side of the energy meter. When the
male connection to the H8163 board clicks into place, the H8163-CB is properly
installed.
4. Insert the communication terminal onto the RS-485 communication terminals.
5. If the demand subinterval feature is used, wire into the end of demand subinterval
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.
During normal operation, all five LEDs will blink regularly. When an error occurs, the
abnormal LED will help determine where that error is.
