Safety precautions

Installation, wiring, testing and service must be performed in accordance with all local and national electrical codes.
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
  • Apply appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and follow safe electrical work practices. See NFPA 70E, CSA Z462 or other local standards.
  • This equipment must only be installed and serviced by qualified electrical personnel.
  • Turn off all power supplying this device and the equipment in which it is installed before working on or in the equipment.
  • Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm that all power is off.
  • Assume communications and I/O wiring are hazardous live until determined otherwise.
  • 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 power supply sources, particularly the potential for backfeed.
  • Do not exceed the maximum ratings of this device.
  • Replace all devices, doors and covers before turning on power to this equipment.
  • Never short the secondary of a Voltage Transformer (VT).
  • Never open circuit a Current Transformer (CT).
  • Always use grounded external CTs for current inputs.
  • Do not install CTs or LPCTs in equipment where they exceed 75% of the wiring space of any cross-sectional area in the equipment.
  • Do not install CTs or LPCTs or meter in areas where ventilation openings may be blocked or in areas of breaker arc venting.
  • Secure CT or LPCT secondary conductors to ensure they do not contact live circuits.
  • Do not mount the meter within 2 in (50.8 mm) of any live circuits, including the primary conductors, primary terminals, and primary lugs.
  • Do not allow the meter to contact the panel interior insulation inside the enclosure.
  • Do not use water or any liquid material to clean the product. Use a cleaning cloth to remove dirt. If dirt cannot be removed, contact local Technical Support representative.
  • Before installation, verify the rating and the characteristics of the supply side over current protection devices. Do not exceed the maximum current or voltage rating of the meter.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Unintended Operation
Do not use the meter for critical control or protection applications where human or equipment safety relies on the operation of the control circuit.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
WARNING
Inaccurate data results
  • Do not rely solely on data displayed on the display or in software to determine if this device is functioning correctly or complying with all applicable standards.
  • Do not use data displayed on the display or in software as a substitute for proper workplace practices or equipment maintenance.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
WARNING
Potential compromise of system availability, integrity, and confidentiality
  • Change default passwords/passcodes to help prevent unauthorized access to device settings and information.
  • Disable unused ports/services and default accounts, where possible, to minimize pathways for malicious attacks.
  • Place networked devices behind multiple layers of cyber defenses (such as firewalls, network segmentation, and network intrusion detection and protection).
  • Use cybersecurity best practices (for example: least privilege, separation of duties) to help prevent unauthorized exposure, loss, modification of data and logs, interruption of services, or unintended operation.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
