With the optional H8163-CB Communications Board, the H81xx Series energy meters connect easily to control/data systems networks using Modbus protocol. The H8163-CB reports energy and power diagnostic information including kW, kWh, kVAR, PF, amps, volts, and more. The H8163-CB is easy to install in the field. On-board switches provide a convenient means of setting network configuration parameters such as parity, baud rate, and network wiring (2-wire or 4-wire). Status LEDs provide quick confirmation of successful installation.
