3.0 STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

  Upon receipt, immediately inspect busway components for
  possible concealed damage from shipping and/or handling. If
  damage has occurred, file a claim with the carrier. If there is no
   damage, restore the packaging to its original condition to
  prepare for job site storage. Store busway indoors in a clean and
  dry area with uniform temperature to minimize condensation.
  Protect against mechanical damage and exposure to lime dust
  (concrete), water, corrosive fumes or liquids and salts.

Failure to properly store and protect the busway can cause
damage and will void the warranty.

4.0 PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION

  Deliver busway to installation location prior to unpacking.
  Shipping crates/cartons display exterior identification of the
  packaged busway components. Each busway component
  is further identified by an item number located on the
   nameplate, which corresponds to the item number on the
  busway installation drawing(s).

  Inspect each busway component for possible damage. Consult
  the factory if damage is found. Confirm that the contact
  surfaces are not damaged and are clean and dry. Abrasives
  should NOT be used on these surfaces because contact surfaces
  are electroplated. Inspect joint insulators for cracking or any sign
  of damage.

5.0 BASICS OF SEM3™

  The SEM3™ (Siemens Embedded Micro Metering Module)
  system is designed to measure the current, voltage, and energy
  consumption of up to 45 circuits.

  The SEM3™ consists of a controller, racks, cables, meter
  modules and current transformers (CTs) that can be tailored
  to a specific application, in this case a bus plug. Each CT is
  terminated into a meter module that in turn is mounted in a
  rack. The racks get power from and communicate back to the
  controller through product specific communications cables that
  are part of the SEM3™ product line.

The SEM3™ integrated bus plug is preconfigured to

  communicate via Modbus TCP though an Ethernet port on the
  exterior of the controller plug to outside systems. Real-time
  values may be viewed on the controller web pages. If Modbus
  RTU is required for your application, please contact Siemens
  Customer Service, (see Section 10.0).

  The controller web interface is used to configure the SEM3™
  system to the application. System info, CT ratio setting and
  alarms as well as configuring the meter modules into 1, 2, or 3
  pole meters are all accomplished through embedded and easy
  to use web pages.
