SECTION 1: GENERAL
HAZARDS
CAUTION
Read all instructions carefully prior to installation.
Always ensure power has been disconnected prior to doing any work.
The BGS32 should be installed only by qualified technicians. Familiarity with and
understanding of all terms used in this manual is assumed.
BGS32 should be deployed in conjunction with proper branch circuit protectors.
The user is responsible for ensuring that all work is performed in accordance with
local electrical codes and regulations and using appropriate tools and materials.
BGS32 should only be connected to the type of power source indicated on the label.
The current transformer(s) used with the BGS32 must be appropriate to the amperage
of the circuit(s) on which they will be used.
Only current transformers approved by Packet Power should be connected to the
BGS32. Using unapproved current transformers could result in inaccurate readings
and damage to the BGS32 device.
Current transformers shall provide two means of isolation from hazardous voltages.
When selecting a current transformer, the voltage and measurement category of the
circuit to be measured must be considered to ensure that the current transformer is
adequately insulated and rated. For 480V circuits, insulation shall be at least 600V
rated. For 240V circuits, insulation shall be at least 300V rated.
Prior to installation, check to make sure the BGS32 has not been damaged.
Following installation in the final product, the connectors on the BGS32 must be
fully enclosed and insulated from the external product enclosure in compliance with
all relevant local electrical codes and regulations.
A safety connection to electrical ground / earth must be used.
Once installed on a conductor, current transformers must be connected to the BGS32.
Failure to do so creates an unsafe condition and will result in damage to the CT.
Follow basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of electrical shock and damage to
equipment.
Store in a clean, dry location. Clean with a dry cloth.
Intended for indoor use only, do not install in a wet location.
Failure to use the product in the specified manner may lead to injury or death and
damage to equipment.
