62-0304—05

INSTALLATION

VERIFY

 the input voltage rating and configuration on the unit panel label to ensure it is suitable for the intended electrical service. 

Meters labeled for 115/208 volt service 

MUST NOT

 be installed on service feeds of 277/480 volt and vice versa.

VERIFY 

that the Class 500 Meter current sensors are sized suitably for the load to be monitored. Compare the color of the arrows 

on the current sensors to the chart below to confirm the correct current sensor is being used.

Table 1. Sensor arrow color and rating

CAUTION

Internal circuit card components are extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Prior to handling or touching 

the internal circuitry, discharge any static build-up on your person. To discharge yourself, touch a grounded 

metal object such as conduit or an earth grounded metal enclosure.

WARNING

Use of the Class 500 Meter in a manner inconsistent with this manual or not specified by the manufacturer in 

writing can cause permanent damage to the unit and/or serious injury to the operator. The protection and safety 

features provided by this equipment may become impaired or otherwise compromised.

WARNING

High voltages are present on main power terminal block, TB1. Risk of serious injury and/or electrical shock 

exists. Prior to performing any wiring operations, review all the contents of the user’s manual and de-energize 

the MAINS power switch. Only qualified personnel should perform installation wiring. Installation wiring must 

comply with all local and national electrical codes. 

WARNING

Failure to ground the enclosure creates a possible shock hazard. Do not operate the Class 500 Meter without a 

protective earth wire attached securely to the PE terminal screw. After installing the protective earth wiring, 

secure the screw tightly (10 N-m torque). NEVER open the front panel of the unit while the unit has MAINS power 

applied. Failure to comply can increase the risk of serious injury and for electrical shock.

Internal Electronic Assemblies

The unit is composed of two major subassembly boards: the main power and display boards (See Fig. 1).

NOTE: Units supplied in a NEMA 12 metal enclosure are suitable for indoor applications only. For outdoor installation, use the 

NEMA 4 enclosure.
