Re: 2 100amp panel coupler help needed

[nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Dave Houston)]

That Leviton page also lists all of their current product line including a
different blocking coupler.

I still recommend correcting the problem caused by the two 4851s before
thinking about whether you need one or more HCA02-10Es. Leviton does
recommend one for each panel. I've not heard of two HCA02-10Es playing
"ping-pong" but there have been ample posts about one HCA02-10E flooding the
line with spurious commands. Most have had no problems while others have had
no end of problems with the HCA02-10E. That's one more reason to get the
4851 situation straight first.

One 4851 just downstream of the meter but upstream of the Y should block any
alien signals while passively coupling both panels.
