4.7 Installation procedure
Having selected a suitable mounting position for the meter, install the meter using the following procedure.
4.7.1 The groundwork
1. Ensure that all the necessary tools are available.
Refer to the section 4.6.1 for more details.
2. By visual inspection, check for any loose or exposed electrical connections near the installation
location.
If required, secure the loose connections or use fast-drying,
commercially available insulation coating to cover exposed
connections.
3. Check and label the polarity of the supply to the consumer circuit.
Polarity test can be performed by a line tester. Phase wire
should cause the tester’s LED to glow whereas the neutral wire
should not.
4. Ensure that the consumer’s installation is safe for isolation.
Check the health status of fuses, cut-outs etc.
5. Isolate / disconnect the consumer’s supply before installation of the meter.
6. Check for the correct cable size.
7. When multiple meters are being installed next to each other on a central panel, ensure that correct
position is located for each consumer’s meter. Label the meter accordingly.
8. Where a meter box is provided, fix the meter box first and then proceed with the installation of the
meter.
9. Remove both main and secondary terminal block cover of the meter. Refer 9.
10. The communication module is an RF device: choose a suitable location for optimum reception.
11. If you are fitting an external antenna: allow adequate space for both the antenna and cable.
4.7.2 Mounting the meter
1. Ensure that the recommended screw is tightened at the correct mounting position.
The mounting screw should be able to withstand the meter weight
(approximately 2 kg).
2. Hang the meter from the top mounting hole provided at the rear panel of the meter.
3. Mark out the positions for mounting screws.
Refer mounting dimensions given above or mounting template
available at the rear of meter packing box.
4. Remove the meter from the top mounting screw and drill out the holes for the bottom mounting screws.
