FCC Compliance
DRAFT 8-27-2015
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference consult Aclara Support for help.
Safety Information
The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation,
service, and repair of this device. Failure to comply with these precautions or with
specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of design,
manufacture, and the intended use of the metering instrument. Aclara assumes no
liability for the customer’s failure to comply with these requirements.
W
ARNING
Any work on, or near, energized meters, meter sockets, or other metering
equipment can present a danger of electrical shock. All work on this product
should be performed only by qualified electricians and metering specialists in
accordance with local utility safety practices, utility requirements and
procedures outlined in Chapter 14 of The Handbook for Electricity Metering
(10th edition).
The information contained within this manual is intended to be an aid to qualified
metering personnel. It is not intended to replace the extensive training necessary to
handle metering equipment in a safe manner.
• Use care when servicing with the power on.
• Do not assume neutral (white lead) is always at earth ground potential. Some
services have this connection at line voltage.
• Be aware that dangerous voltages exist at several points within the meter
when this product is installed on a meter base.
• Disconnect power before meter disassembly, soldering, or replacing
components.
The meter is connected directly to line potential. Due to the possibility of the
potential lines being reversed, points accessible with the cover off may be at line
voltage.
Consult the meter instruction/technical manual for meter specific information.
