The following is the recommended sequence for installing the Measuring Head:
1. Refer to the Outline and Mounting drawing for the Measuring Head at the end of this
manual.
2. Determine the position where the Measuring Head will be installed. Bus bar(s) should be
free from grease and dust for the best adhesion of the LKAT
2
90° mounting angles to the
bus bar(s).
3. Connect the head cable assemblies to the Metering Unit.
4. Remove the backing from the adhesive foam strips on the fiberglass mounting angles.
Align the mounting angles in position on the corners of the bus bar in the desired location.
5. Position the two “L-shaped” head halves around the bus and the mounting angles. Mate
the two halves, pressing them together until the tubes bottom out on the elbows.
6. Install the four locking screws on the outside of the square tubes adjacent to the place
where the head halves split apart. Do not over tighten the locking screws. Refer to
Outline & Mounting – LKAT

Measuring Head drawing.
7. Tighten the bus mounting screws a few turns at a time in a circular pattern around the
aperture of the head, on the front side, then on back side of the head. For most
applications, the head should be centered on the bus bar. The bus mounting screws
should press against the foam tape on the mounting angle surface on the outside of the
bus bar. Refer to Outline & Mounting – LKAT

Measuring Head drawing. Do not
overtighten bus mounting screws.
8. Route the head interconnection cables away from the bus and other high voltages.
9. Connect the power cable assembly to appropriate power source and LKAT
