Installing Option Cards

The Option Cards are inserted in one of the two Option Card slots in the back of the EPM 
7000 meter. 

1.2.1

Safety Precautions

Remove Voltage Inputs and the power supply terminal to the meter before performing 
card installation.

All electronic components within the EPM Meters are susceptible to damage from 
electrostatic discharge. To prevent damage when handling this product use approved 
static control procedures.

Note

Remove Voltage Inputs and power supply terminal to the meter before performing card 
installation.

1.

Remove the screws at the top and the bottom of the Option Card slot covers.

2.

There is a plastic “track” on the top and the bottom of the slot. The Option card 
fits into this track.

Note

Perform this procedure on an ESD-safe surface to prevent damage to the EPM Meter 
device and its components.

3.

Slide the card inside the plastic track and insert it into the slot. You will hear a 
click when the card is fully inserted. Be careful, it is easy to miss the guide 
track.

WARNING!

For safety, remove 
ALL these 
connections before 
installing Option 
Cards (GNC, L, N, 
Vref, Va, Vb, Vc).
