DANGER
NOTICE
• This product is not intended for life or safety applications.
• Do not install this product in hazardous or classified locations.
• The installer is responsible for conformance to all applicable codes.
INSTALLATION
1. Disconnect power to the power meter and the host device.
2. Connect the AH07 to the RS-232 port on the host device.
3. Wire the first meter to the AH07 slave port. Observe +, –, and S polarity as shown
below. Use a 120Ω terminator between + and – (provided with the AH07).
4. If desired, daisy chain up to 31 meters or other 2-wire RS-485 devices (only
4 devices shown below). Terminate the final device in the chain with a 120Ω
terminator.

WIRING
• The terminal’s voltage and current ratings are compatible with the
requirements of the EIA RS-485 communications standard.
• Maximum baud rate is 19.2 kB.
OPERATION
The AH07 converts the RS-485 output signal from a 2-wire power meter into a signal
compatible with a host device that has an RS-232 port (e.g. PC, data acquisition
device). Up to 31 RS-485 devices can be daisy chained to a single AH07 converter. The
host device acts as the power supply. The AH07 requires DTR and RTS connected to
the power supply for operation.
