●
Energy meters are generally installed in electrically hazardous areas. To minimise the risk of
electrical shock, stay away from loose or exposed electrical connections. If there is loose or
exposed electrical wiring near the meter, initiate appropriate preventive measures.
●
The electrical installation of electronic meters at a site requires an adequate understanding of all
governing rules and regulations.
●
Keep the meter away from fire, rain and direct exposure to water.
●
The meter may be damaged, either in part or completely, if it falls from a height.
●
It is recommended to immediately cut off the electricity supply upon occurrence of a fault within the
meter.
●
Ensure that the load does not exceed the current range specified on the rating plate.
●
Appropriate fuses and circuit breakers must be used in accordance with the rating of the meter.
●
Secure Meters recommend regular installation checks to be carried out, especially when product is
installed at locations posing high risk of degradation or corrosion, such as under direct strong
sunlight, areas with high ambient temperature and little ventilation, areas near heat sources such
as a furnace, areas where the meter is regularly exposed to chemical fumes, etc.
●
When enabling the external antenna always ensure that it has been plugged into the SMA
connector under the module.

To ensure optimal performance of the radio system with the meter, the radio antenna should be
fitted externally if the meter (or modem) is installed inside a metal enclosure.

practices described. Manual should be strictly referred for details wherever the caution symbols
are used on the product.
●
If the meter is not used in the manner specified in the manual, the protection provided by the meter
may be impaired.
●
Safety practices must be followed as open position of the supply or load control switch does not
provide isolation from the mains network.
●
The installer is responsible for coordinating the rating and the characteristics of the supply side
over current protection devices with the maximum current rating.
●
Supply to the metering equipment must be isolated by removing active isolation link at the supply
side to allow safe access before installation or removal.
