FCC PART 15 INFORMATION
NOTE: This equipment has been tested by the manufacturer and found
to comply with the limits for a class A digital device, pursuant to part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is
operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in
a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case
the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Modifications to this product without the express authorization of
Veris Industries nullify this statement.
PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION

Supported Veris Meters***: H8035, H8036, E50C2,
E50C3*, E51C2, E51C3*, H81xx Series (with the
H8163-CB Modbus RTU Communication Board), H8238
Series, H8436 Series, H8437 Series, and E30Ax42**,
E30Bxxx**, E30Cxxx**, E31Bxxx**, E31Cxxx** Series
* The E8950 does not support the logging functionality of these meters.
** Must include firmware version 1.011 or later.
*** E31A42 is supported also, but requires some manual configuration. Contact Veris Customer
Support for details.
Refer to Appendix 3 to determine how many meters of each type can be supported.
WARNING
LOSS OF CONTROL
∙ Assure that the system will reach a safe state during and after a control path failure.
∙ Separate or redundant control paths must be provided for critical control functions.
∙ Test the effect of transmission delays or failures of communication links.
1
∙ Each implementation of equipment using communication links must be individually
and thoroughly tested for proper operation before placing it in service.
Failure to follow these instructions may cause injury, death or equipment damage.
1 For additional information about anticipated transmission delays or failures of the link, refer to
NEMA ICS 1.1 (latest edition). Safety Guidelins for the Application, Installation, and Maintenance
of Solid-State Control or its equivalent in your specific country, language, and/or location.
Control system design must consider the potential failure modes of control paths and, for
certain critical control functions, provide a means to acheive a safe state during and after a
path failure. Examples of critical control functions are emergency stop and over-travel stop.
Veris Industries assumes no responsibility for any consequences arising out of the use
of this material.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The E8950 is a protocol conversion gateway that adapts supported Veris Modbus
RTU energy meters to building automation systems using BACnet protocol over
either IP or MS/TP physical layer interfaces. The E8950 supports up to 32 meters or
1000 total measurement points (number of output points varies by meter model). It
is pre-programmed to discover any supported meters and automatically configure
them for BACnet MS/TP and BACnet/IP. Each Modbus meter is presented as a BACnet
device, with a unique BACnet device_ID and a full set of measurement data and
configuration objects. Little configuration is required. The user sets up the system
using DIP switches and a built-in webserver graphical user interface (GUI).
