3 MOUNTING AND WIRING
WARNING
SHOCK HAZARD: VERIFY THAT ANY INCOMING AC POWER OR FOREIGN POWER
SOURCES ARE TURNED OFF AND LOCKED OUT BEFORE PERFORMING ANY WORK
ON THE POWER XPERT 4000/6000/8000 METER OR ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT. FAIL-
URE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN INJURY TO PERSONNEL OR DAMAGE TO EQUIP-
MENT.
The Power Xpert Meter 4000/6000/8000 is designed to be installed, operated and main-
tained by adequately trained personnel. These instructions do not include all details, varia-
tions or combinations of the equipment, its storage, delivery, installation, checkout, safe
operation or maintenance. Compliance with local, state and national regulations, as well
as with industry standard safety practices for this class of equipment, is imperative. This
section describes mounting, wiring, startup and miscellaneous details associated with the
Power Xpert Meter 4000/6000/8000. Every section should be reviewed prior to installing
this device.
3.1. Mounting the Display Module and Meter Module Separately
1. Prepare a cutout in which Display will be placed. The dimensions for this cutout with
the mounting hole locations are shown in Panel Cutout figure (page
20)). There’s a 1:1
template you can remove from the manual or copy on page 29.
2. Before cutting the panel, check the required three-dimensional clearances for the Dis-
play case, particularly behind the panel (see the dimension drawing on page meter).
If mounting on a swinging door, check the swinging clearance of rear projections and
wired connections. Remember to allow for: extra space for all wiring (including an addi
-
tional 2” for the bending radius (4” for fiber optic), intermediate terminal strips, shorting
blocks or other required components. Dimensions in Display Module figure on page
21.
3. It is necessary to hold several tolerances when making the cutout and placing the
holes for the mounting screws. The holes must be located within 1/16” of the drawing
specifications, and a .188” to 3/16” drill bit is recommended.
4.
Place the Display module through the panel cutout. Using the five #8-32X1/2” screws,
attach the Display to the panel. It is best to attach the top center screw first.
5.
To mount the Meter Module directly to a flat panel, as recommended, a panel cutout is
not necessary. There are eight hole locations on the Meter module Mounting Brackets;
four circular holes and four keyholes. Use either set for mounting. See the Meter Mod-
ule figure on page
21 for the hole sizes and locations.
3.6. General Instructions
It is recommended that the Power Xpert 4000/6000/8000 Meter be mounted in an electri-
cal switchgear enclosure that is suitable for its environment. The Power Xpert Display and
Meter Modules are generally mounted separately (see manual for mounting together).
While it is recommended that the Display Module be door or panel mounted, the Meter
Module can be mounted remotely from the Display Module on a flat surface or panel else
-
where in the enclosure.
•
The Meter Module must remain vertical at all times to maintain proper ventilation.
•
The Display and Meter Modules may be installed in a Pollution Degree II environment.
•
If the Meter Module is mounted remotely, the Display Module MUST be connected to
earth ground.
•
The Meter Module should be protected from accidental contact with live terminals in
the enclosure. A 1/8 inch steel panel or door, solidly grounded, is recommended.
