Inspection
Perform the following inspections when you receive the meter:

Inspect for obvious damage to the cover, base, and meter assembly.

Compare the meter and register nameplates to the record card and invoice. Verify the
type, class, voltage, form number, and other pertinent data.

Save the original packing materials.
Battery
The CENTRON C12.19 C1SD + Clock, C1ST and C1SL (timekeeping) modules contain a
battery that powers the clock circuit during a power outage. The battery is permanently
soldered to the module and is expected to last the life of the module.
The product you have purchased contains a recyclable lithium battery,
circuit boards, and switches. At the end of its useful life, under
various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery
into the municipal waste stream. Check with your local area solid
waste officials for details about recycling options or proper disposal.
Storage
Store the meter in a clean, dry (Relative Humidity < 50%) environment between -40° C to
+85° C (-40° F to +185° F). Avoid prolonged storage (more than one year) at temperatures
above +70° C(+158° F). Store the meter in the original packing material. The lithium battery
has a shelf life of approximately 15 years.
