6.7 RS-485 Wiring (continued)

* An alternate version of firmware is available that replaces Modbus RTU with BACnet

MS/TP.

The meter must be ordered with this option if BACnet is desired instead of

Modbus.

There are two connection methods, daisy-chain and wire terminal, for RS-485

communications.

Daisy-Chain Method

This is the simplest method for connecting meters together.

Fig. 9. Daisy-chain Configuration.

1. Connect the +(high) terminal of PORT 1 of each meter together so that the + ter-

minals on all meters are linked, + to + to +...

2. Connect the -(low) terminal of PORT 1 of each meter together so that the - termi-

nals on all meters are linked, - to - to -...

3. Connect the GND terminals of PORT 1 to meter 1 ONLY. The GND terminals

should not be linked to each meter.

4. Torque screws to 2.2 in-lb.
