E-MON CLASS 3200 METER

6.7.1 RS-485 Bias Resistors
When interfacing the E-Mon Class 3200 meter to certain RS-485 communication
equipment, it may be necessary to add bias resistance to the circuit. If this is
required, there is a 2-position DIP switch on the meter’s door mounted (display)
circuit board. With both positions in the “ON” position, bias resistance is added to
the RS-485 circuit. When both positions are in the “OFF” position, no bias is
added to the RS-485 circuit.
Fig. 13. Bias Resistors DIP Switch.
After performing these steps, all of the meters will be connected in a daisy chain
configuration. This network of meters can then be connected to the RS-485
network and communication can be established.
Local Computer
A local computer installed in the building can communicate with the RS-485
network utilizing Honeywell’s RS-232 conversion key. The RS-232 key is
connected to the RS-485 terminals in the closest meter using a cable with an RJ-
11 plug terminating the end that is plugged into the key and is open wiring on the
other end for attachment to the meter’s 3-screw RS-485 terminal block.
