This symbol indicates the presence of dangerous voltage within and outside the product enclosure
that may constitute a risk of electric shock, serious injury or death to persons if proper precautions
are not followed.
Caution
This symbol alerts the user to the presence of hazards that may cause minor or moderate injury to
persons, damage to property or damage to the device itself, if proper precautions are not followed.
Note
This symbol directs the user’s attention to important installation, operating and maintenance
instructions.
Installation Considerations
Installation and maintenance of the PowerLogic ION7550 / ION7650 meter should only be performed by qualified,
competent personnel that have appropriate training and experience with high voltage and current devices. The meter
must be installed in accordance with all local and national electrical codes.
Failure to observe the following instructions may result in severe injury or death.
During normal operation of the ION7550 / ION7650 meter, hazardous voltages are present on its termi-
nal strips, and throughout the connected potential transformer (PT), current transformer (CT), digital (status) input, control power and external I/O circuits. PT and CT secondary circuits are capable of generating
lethal voltages and currents with their primary circuit energized. Follow standard safety precautions while
performing any installation or service work (i.e. removing PT fuses, shorting CT secondaries, etc.).
The terminal strips on the meter base should not be user-accessible after installation.
Do not use digital output devices for primary protection functions. These include applications where the
devices perform energy limiting functions or provide protection of people from injury. Do not use the
ION7550 / ION7650 in situations where failure of the devices can cause injury or death, or cause suffi-
cient energy to be released that can start a fire. The meter can be used for secondary protection functions.
Do not HIPOT/Dielectric test the digital (status) inputs, digital outputs, or communications terminals. Refer
to the label on the ION7550 / ION7650 meter for the maximum voltage level the device can
withstand.
Observe the following instructions, or permanent damage to the meter may occur.
The ION7550 / ION7650 meter offers a range of hardware options that affect input ratings. The
ION7550 / ION7650 meter’s serial number label lists all equipped options. Applying current levels incom-
patible with the current inputs will permanently damage the meter. This document provides installation
instructions applicable to each hardware option.
The ION7550 / ION7650 meter’s chassis ground must be properly connected to the switchgear earth
ground for the noise and surge protection circuitry to function correctly. Failure to do so will void the
warranty.

FCC Notice
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency e nerg y and , i f n ot installed and used in accordance
with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment
in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the ION7550 / ION7650 optional internal modem is 0.6. Connection to
the ION7550 / ION7650 internal modem should be made via an FCC Part 68 compliant telephone cord (not
supplied). The ION7550 / ION7650 cannot be used on a public coin phone service or party line services.
Network Compatibility Notice for the Internal Modem
The internal modem in meters equipped with this option is compatible with the telephone systems of most countries
in the world. Use in some countries may require modification of the internal modem’s initialization strings. If problems
using the modem on your phone system occur, please contact Schneider Electric Technical Support.

Before installing the meter, familiarize yourself with the steps in this guide and
read the safety precautions presented on the “Installation Considerations”
page.
Do not power up the meter until the current and voltage wiring is completed.

Meter Battery Considerations
The meter’s battery life expectancy depends on both temperature and the
amount of time the meter is without power. For typical installations, the
battery should last 20 years or more. If the meter is not powered, the battery
will last a minimum of 7 years at room temperature.
Integrated Display Model
1.Fit the meter into the DIN standard 192 cutout (186 mm by 186 mm).
2.Slide the four brackets into their slots on the back of the meter and secure
using the four Phillips head screws. Do not overtighten.
-20 to +50ºC (-4 to +122ºF) Low Voltage DC Power Supply
No formation of ice
Step 2: Wire the Ground Terminal
Connect the terminal to a good earth ground with a 2.1 mm2 (14 AWG)
wire. Ensure that the terminal nut is tightened down securely onto the ground
wire. Do not use metal door hinges as a grounding point.
D4 output is factory-configured to pulse once every 1.8 Wh for Class 20 meters,
or once every 0.18 Wh for Class 2 meters (for calibration testing purposes).

Step 7: Power Up the Meter
1.Ensure the ground wire is securely connected on both ends.
2.Ensure the meter’s power supply voltage is within the allowed range.
3.Power up the meter.
Step 8: Set Up the Meter Using the Front Panel
The following Setup screens are available for meter configuration via the
front panel:
Use the
PROG/SELECT, ESC, softkeys and arrow buttons to configure settings.
The following example shows Volts Mode setup using the meter front panel.
A password is required for all front panel configuration changes and to enter
the Security Setup menu. The password is set to 0 (zero) in the factory. The
front panel only prompts you for the meter password once, before you make
your first configuration change. You can disable the password via the Security
Setup menu.
Selecting the Front Panel Language
Meters are shipped with English as the default front panel language.
To select another language:
