Danger

This symbol indicates the presence of dangerous voltage within and outside the product enclosure that may constitute a risk of electric shock, serious injury or death to persons if proper precautions are not followed.

Caution

This symbol alerts the user to the presence of hazards that may cause minor or moderate injury to persons, damage to property or damage to the device itself, if proper precautions are not followed.

Consult this document whenever this symbol is used on the meter, to determine the nature of the potential hazard and any actions which need to be taken.

Note

This symbol directs the user’s attention to important installation, operating and maintenance instructions.

Installation Considerations

Installation and maintenance of the ION 8800 meter should only be performed by qualified, competent personnel that have appropriate training and experience with high voltage and current devices. The meter must be installed in accordance with all local and national electrical codes.

If this equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection from electric shock, fire, etc. provided by this equipment may be impaired.

DANGER

Failure to observe the following instructions may result in severe injury or death.

‹During normal operation of the ION 8800 meter, hazardous voltages are present on its connector pins, and throughout the connected potential transformer (PT), current transformer (CT), direct connect without PTs, digital (status) input, control power and external I/O circuits. PT and CT secondary circuits are capable of generating lethal voltages and currents with their primary circuit energized. Follow standard safety pre- cautions while performing any installation or service work (i.e. removing PT fuses, shorting CT secondaries, etc).

‹Do not use digital output devices for primary protection functions. These include applications where the devices perform energy limiting functions or provide protection of people from injury. Do not use the ION 8800 in situations where failure of the devices can cause injury or death, or cause sufficient energy to be released that can start a fire. The meter can be used for secondary protection functions.

‹The ION 8800 meter’s chassis ground must be properly connected to a good earth ground for safety, and for the noise and surge protection circuitry to function correctly. Failure to do so will void the warranty, and create a risk of electric shock, injury or death.

‹When installing the meter, all voltage paths (measurement voltage and all auxiliary circuits such as the power supply and the tariff control voltage) must be fused according to applicable local safety standards.

CAUTION

Observe the following instructions, or permanent damage to the meter may occur.

‹The ION 8800 meter offers a range of hardware options that affect input ratings. The ION 8800 meter’s serial number label lists all equipped options. Applying current levels incompatible with the current inputs will permanently damage the meter. This document provides installation instructions applicable to each hardware option.

‹Do not HIPOT/Dielectric test the digital (status) inputs, digital outputs, power supply terminals or commu- nications terminals. Refer to the label on the ION 8800 meter for the maximum voltage level the device can withstand.

‹Replacing the meter battery with the wrong type or voltage rating could result in damage to the meter. Use only a lithium LiSOCl2 battery with a rated voltage of 3.6 V, and the same construction as the original battery, as a replacement.
