Operation The H8030 and H8031 single-phase power transducers monitor energy parameters from aggregate kw (demand) and kwh (consumption) to power factor. With two platforms to choose from (Energy Only or Enhanced Data Stream), the applications for the H8030/31 Series are diverse, including energy management, performance contracting, demand limiting and cooling plant optimization. The H8030/31 Series combines a microprocessor-based power meter and a high accuracy split-core instrument-grade current transformer (CT) in a single unit. Because the electronics are integral to the CT, and power can be monitored on up to 63 loads using a single RS-485 drop, hardware and installation costs are greatly reduced. product diagram installation Disconnect and lock out power before installation. 1 1.

notes 1. DO NOT GROUND THE SHIELD INSIDE THE ELECTRICAL PANEL. All Modbus wires, including the shield should be insulated to prevent accidental contact to high voltage conductors.. The Modbus cable should be mechanically secured where it enters the electrical panel. 3. All Modbus devices should be connected together in a daisy-chain fashion. The first and last devices in the chain should have a 10Ω terminating resistor between (+) and (-). See diagram below. 4. The Modbus cable should be shielded twisted pair wire BELDEN 110A or similar 5. The user must clear the H8031 Demand register via their BAS at the desired interval (the H8031 does not support an interval schedule). Clearing Integer registers 4005-4007 will reset Floating point register as well.

communications setup This table lists the addresses assigned to each data point. Registers are read Most Significant Byte (MSB) first. 3-bit floating point values are encoded per IEEE Standard 754. For floating point format variables, each data point appears twice because two 16-bit addresses are required to hold a 3-bit float value. The 16 bit Most Significant Word (MSW) is in the lower address of the register pair, while the least Significant Word (LSW) is in the upper address. Modbus RTU function codes supported: 3=read holding registers; 6=preset single register; 17=report Slave I.D.

The actual address sent is the value shown, minus 40001. In other words, the leading 4 is omitted, and the remaining 4-digit number is decremented so that point 40001 is requested with a value of zero in the actual Modbus communication. Some Modbus implementations require point addresses to be specified beginning at 0 or 40000, instead of 40001. Programming code may also require addresses that correspond to actual values transmitted, so a value of zero is used to request data beginning at Modbus address 40001. In many applications, a single Modbus command is used to read all of the data available from the meter. For integers, the beginning address is 40001 (or zero in the actual Modbus command), and for floats the first address used would typically be 4059 (or 58 in the actual Modbus command). Although the first float appears at address 4057, it is not necessary to read this value because it is a duplicate copy of the kwh value (required by the product firmware). When a block of data is read, the typical offset values index to the data within the block. Z050-0C PAGE 5 009 Veris Industries USA 800.354.8556 or 503.598.4564 / support@veris.com 03095
using integer data types Unlike the floating-point data type, the integer data type can only represent whole numbers between 0 and 65535. To convert a data point value into the number it represents, the value must be multiplied by a constant, as indicated in the table below. Please note: some data points require different multipliers for each amperage range, while others, e.g. volts and power factor, use the same multiplier regardless of the amperage range of the product.

Readings seem highly inaccurate. Meter goes offline when load is switched off. Status LED blinks red. Solution Check fuses and voltage connections. Status LED should blink regardless of CTs, Modbus connections, and DIP switch setting. Set DIP switches to a different Modbus address which is not in use. In most cases, incorrect wiring will cause the STATUS LED to blink RED (slowly). However, a power factor lower than 0.5 could cause the LED to blink this way, even if the unit is installed properly. It does not matter which side of the CT faces towards the load. Check actual current with Amp clamp. Expected power is: kw = Volts x Amps x 1.73 x PF / 1000; kw = Horsepower x 0.746 (PF is usually 0.7 to 0.95 depending on the nature of the load) Compare this to the kw. If current is below 7% of full scale maximum for the CT, use a smaller CT or wrap each wire through the CT multiple times Voltage leads must be connected on the Line side of the conductor. The power meter cannot communicate without voltage. If the LED blinks quickly (i.e., about 5 blinks in two seconds) the CT used is too small. Replace with a larger CT. If the LED blinks slowly (i.e., about 1 blink in two seconds) the CT is not installed on the correct conductor, or the power factor is less than 0.5. The meter can accurately measure these low PFs, but few loads operate normally at such a low power factor.
