(Save ONLY the GLOB SAVE Screen—Forms 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 Meter
Circuits)
1. Hookup Probes to Phase A (or B or C as appropriate)
1.1 Primary Current: Flex Coil--Arrow towards load, High Voltage--Large Dot
Toward Line
1.2 Secondary Current: Duckbill / Copper side up (If 6000 Bird Dog Plus owner,
use only phase A duckbill with the large knob on the 3 Phase Connector Box
set to Duckbills and the small knob set to either Flexible Coil or High

(Skip this section if using Meter Base Adapters.)
1.4.1 Short phase B & C CTs and confirm the meter is reporting phase A
1.4.2 Short phase A & C CTs and confirm the meter is reporting phase B
1.4.3 Short phase A & B CTs and confirm the meter is reporting phase C
1.4.4 Close all CT shorting switches
2. Turn the Bird Dog Plus On
