Special Conditions for Safe Use: 

Use suitably certified and dimensioned cable entry 

device and/or plug. The equipment shall be installed 

such that the supply cable is protected from 

mechanical damage. The cable shall not be subjected 

to tension or torque. If the cable is to be terminated 

within an explosive atmosphere, then appropriate 

protection of the free end of the cable shall be 

provided. 

Year of Construction: 

This information is contained within the serial number 

with the first four digits representing the year and 

month in the YYMM format. 

For European Community:

 The PD663 must be 

installed in accordance with the ATEX directive 

94/9/EC and the product certificate Sira 

10ATEX1116X. 

Safety Information 

 

  Read complete instructions prior to installation 

and operation of the meter. 

  Installation and service should be performed only 

by trained service personnel. Service requiring 

replacement of internal components must be 

performed at the factory. 

  Disconnect from supply before opening 

enclosure. Keep cover tight while circuits are 

alive. Conduit seals must be installed within 18" 

(450mm) of the enclosure. 

  Verify that the operating atmosphere of the meter 

is consistent with the appropriate hazardous 

locations certifications. 

  If the meter is installed in a high voltage 

environment and a fault or installation error 

occurs, high voltage may be present on any lead. 

 

Installation 

For Installation in USA:

 The PD663 must be 

installed in accordance with the National Electrical 

Code (NEC) NFPA 70. 

For Installation in Canada:

 Install in accordance 

with applicable local and national regulations (e.g. 

NEC).  The PD663 must be installed in accordance 

with the Canadian Electrical Code CSA 22.1. All input 

circuits must be derived from a CSA approved Class 

2 source. 

For European Community:

 The PD663 must be 

installed in accordance with the ATEX directive 

94/9/EC and the product certificate Sira 

10ATEX1116X. 
All pushbuttons and wiring connectors are accessed 

by opening the enclosure. To access electrical 

connectors, remove the 2 captive screws and remove 

the meter assembly. 
 

 

  Disconnect from supply before opening 

enclosure. Keep cover tight while circuits are 

alive. Conduit seals must be installed within  

18" (450mm) of the enclosure. 

 

Unpacking 

Remove the meter from box. Inspect the packaging 

and contents for damage. Report damages, if any, to 

the carrier. 

If any part is missing or the meter malfunctions, 

please contact your supplier or the factory for 

assistance.
