Siemens 9700, Installation Instructions Manual, Page: 3 / 45

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Installation and maintenance of the 9700 Power Meter should only be performed by qualified, competent personnel
that have appropriate training and experience with high voltage and current devices. Every effort has been made to
ensure the installation instructions presented in this document are clear and easy to understand; however, if you
are not sure how to perform any of the instructions provided, DO NOT CONTINUE THE INSTALLATION. The 9700
Power Meter must be installed in accordance with all Local and National Electrical Codes.
WARNING
Failure to observe the following may result in severe injury or death:
♦
During normal operation of this device, hazardous voltages are present on the terminal strips
of the device and throughout the connected potential transformer (PT), current transformer
(CT), 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 performing 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 device performs energy limiting functions or provides protection of
people from injury. If failure of the device can cause injury or death, or cause sufficient
energy to be released that a fire is likely, do not use the 9700 Power Meter. The 9700 Power
Meter can be used for secondary protection functions.
♦
Do not hipot test voltage inputs – refer to the label on the device for the maximum voltage
level the device will withstand.
C
AUTION
Failure to observe the following may result in permanent damage to the device:
♦
The 9700 Power Meter offers a range of hardware options that affect input ratings. The serial
number label of the 9700 Power Meter lists all equipped options. Applying current levels
incompatible with the current inputs will permanently damage the 9700 Power Meter. This
document provides detailed installation instructions applicable to each hardware option.
Refer to the 9700 Power Meter User’s Guide for a detailed list of all options and their
associated ratings.
♦
The 9700 Power Meter 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.
♦
The 9700 Power Meter status inputs can only be used for dry contact sensing applications.
Connection of an external voltage source to any of the status inputs of a standard equipped
9700 Power Meter can cause permanent damage.
♦
When using an external power supply with Expansion Board A, you must remove the jumper
(JMPR) on the expansion board. Failure to do so will void the 9700 Power Meter warranty.
