3 Precautions and Safety Practices
1. Energy meters are generally installed in electrically live surroundings. 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 installation site, initiate appropriate preventive measures.
2. Check for the wiring configuration of the meter and ensure that the meter is installed for the appropriate
wiring connection.
3. Before energizing the meter, ensure that no stray strands of wire are present outside the connector blocks.
4. Meter must be protected by fuses or voltage isolating links in each voltage circuit.
5. Under no circumstances should the current transformer (CT) connections to the meter be disconnected
while current is flowing in the primary circuit of the external CT.
6. Ensure that the connected load does not exceed the current range specified on the rating plate.
7. The meter contains a battery that must be disposed of in a suitable manner at the end of its life.
8. Secure Meters recommends carrying out regular installation checks, especially when the product is installed
at locations posing higher risk of degradation or corrosion – such as under direct, strong sunlight, areas with
high ambient temperature and little ventilation, areas near heat sources like a furnace, areas near sea or a
water body, areas where the meter is regularly exposed to chemical fumes, etc.
9. It is recommended to immediately cut off the meter supply upon occurrence of any fault within the meter.
10. Keep the meter away from fire, corrosive chemicals, and fumes thereof, rain and direct, prolonged exposure
to water.
11. The electrical installation of electronic meters at a site requires an adequate understanding of all governing
rules and regulations.
