Setting the EZ7 ID
The
IDR’s EZ7 ID code’s, 1A, 1E, 1I, and etcetera, must be set by the installer with the menu and select
buttons. Duplicate EZ7 addresses for example two 1A EZ7 ID
’s will not communicate on the same RS485
network. Set the EZ7 id code so they do not duplicate
any other IDR’s or Smart Meters on the same RS485
network.
Note when setting the IDR-8 and IDR-16
’s EZ7 ID codes it uses up blocks of four id’s codes. The blocks of
four codes are as follows:
Examples:
IDR EZ7 ID set to 1A uses {1A, 1B, 1C, 1D},
Set to 1E uses {1E, 1F, 1G, 1H},
Set to 1I uses {1I, 1J, 1K, 1L},
Set to 1M uses {1M, 1N, 1O, 1P},
Set to 1Q uses {1Q, 1R, 1S, 1T},
Set to 1U uses {1U, 1V, 1W, 1X}
Combinations above repeat with 2A through 8U may be used.
Important
The EZ7 ID code referred to on the previous page and meter input port 1 to 8 or 1 to 16, determines the
software’s meter ID code 1A1, 1A2, 1A3, through 1A8. Carefully document the IDR EZ7 ID’s, cables to the
IDR meter input ports, meter model numbers, serial numbers as well as the other information required on
Form 4 of the E-Mon Energy startup forms.
Correctly documenting the items on Form 4 is extremely important for the entire AMR system
accuracy as the information contained on these forms will be used later to build the E-Mon Energy
software database.
