This section contains important safety precautions that must be followed before attempting to install, service, or maintain electrical equipment. Carefully read and follow the safety precautions outlined below.

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH

• Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe electrical work practices. In the USA, see NFPA 70E or CSAZ462.

• Only qualified electrical workers should install this equipment. Such work should be performed only after reading this entire set of instructions.

• If the equipment is not used in a manner specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

• NEVER work alone.

• Before performing visual inspections, tests, or maintenance on this equipment, disconnect all sources of electric power. Assume that all circuits are live until they have been completely de-energized, tested, and tagged. Pay particular attention to the design of the power system. Consider all sources of power, including the possibility of back feeding.

• Turn off all power supplying the meter and the equipment in which it is installed before working on it.

• Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm that all power is off.

• Before closing all covers and doors, inspect the work area for tools and objects that may have been left inside the equipment.

• When removing or installing panels, do not allow them to extend into the energized bus.

• The successful operation of this equipment depends upon proper handling, installation, and operation. Neglecting fundamental installation requirements may lead to personal injury as well as damage to electrical equipment or other property.

• Before performing Dielectric (Hi-Pot) or Megger testing on any equipment in which the energy meter is installed, disconnect all input and output wires to the energy meter. High voltage testing may damage electronic components contained in the energy meter.

• This equipment should be installed in a suitable electrical enclosure.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
