Installation Considerations
Installation and maintenance of the 9510/9610 meter should only be performed by qualified, competent personnel
that have appropriate training and experience with high voltage and current devices. The meter must be installed in
accordance with all Local and National Electrical Codes.
D
ANGER
Failure to observe the following instructions may result in severe injury or death.
◆
During normal operation of the
9510/9610
meter, hazardous voltages are present on its terminal strips,
and throughout the connected potential transformer (PT), current transformer (CT), digital (status) input,
control power and external I/O circuits. PT and CT secondary circuits are capable of generating lethal
voltages and currents with their primary circuit energized. Follow standard safety precautions while per-
forming any installation or service work (i.e. removing PT fuses, shorting CT secondaries, etc).
◆
The terminal strips on the meter base should not be user-accessible after installation.
◆
Do not use digital output devices for primary protection functions. These include applications where the
devices perform energy limiting functions or provide protection of people from injury. Do not use the
9510/9610
in situations where failure of the devices can cause injury or death, or cause sufficient energy
to be released that can start a fire. The meter can be used for secondary protection functions.
◆
Do not HIPOT/Dielectric test the digital (status) inputs, digital outputs, or communications terminals. Refer
to the label on the
9510/9610
meter for the maximum voltage level the device can withstand.
C
AUTION
Observe the following instructions, or permanent damage to the meter may occur.
◆
The
9510/9610
meter offers a range of hardware options that affect input ratings. The
9510/9610
meter’s serial number label lists all equipped options. Applying current levels incompatible with the current
inputs will permanently damage the meter. This document provides installation instructions applicable to
each hardware option.
◆
The
9510/9610
meter’s chassis ground must be properly connected to the switchgear earth ground for
the noise and surge protection circuitry to function correctly. Failure to do so will void the warranty.
◆
Terminal screw torque: Barrier-type (current, voltage, and relay terminal screws:
1.35 Nm (1.00 ft-lbf)
max. Captured-wire type (
digital inputs/outputs, communications, power supply:
0.90 Nm (0.66
ft.lbf) max.
FCC Notice
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. The Ringer
Equivalence Number (REN) for the 9510/9610 optional internal modem is 0.6. Connection to the 9510/9610
internal modem should be made via an FCC Part 68 compliant telephone cord (not supplied). The 9510/9610
cannot be used on a public coin phone service or party line services.
Network Compatibility Notice for the Internal Modem
The internal modem in meters equipped with this option is compatible with the telephone systems of most countries
in the world, with the exception of Australia and New Zealand. Use in some countries may require modification of the
internal modem’s initialization strings. If problems using the modem on your phone system occur, please contact
