METER GROUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS

Dura Mag meters come standard with a set of grounding rings for use with the preferred method of grounding Dura Mag 

meters.
Grounding the meter body for safety according to national  (NEC) or local electrical codes is recommended on ALL meter 

installations. Dura Mag meters come standard with a set of grounding rings for use with the preferred method of grounding 

Dura Mag meters.
See the Dura Mag IOM Manual, Lit. # 30122-53, for more information on grounding confi gurations using grounding rods 

and grounding rings.
