4.3 Precautions & safety practices
• While working with live equipment, always wear hand-gloves made of an insulating material.
• Disconnect the mains supply before meter installation.
• Ensure that there are no loose or exposed electrical connection(s) or uninsulated, live wires near, or at,
the installation site.
