Figure 5. Multiple Meter Hub Network
For large systems, multiple Meter Hubs can be connected via the
Link In / Link Out ports A & B to expand the number of available ports.
Figure 5 above shows network connections for a system with nine
TriStars and two meters. Up to four Meter Hubs can be linked together,
accommodating up to 15 MeterBus devices. Each device in the network
must be programmed with a unique MeterBus ID.
