DANGER

Failure to observe the following instructions may result in severe injury or death.

During normal operation of the 9300 Series meter, hazardous voltages are present on its terminal 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 9300 Series in situations where failure of the devices can cause injury or death, or cause sufficient 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 9300 Series meter for the maximum voltage level the device can withstand.

CAUTION

Observe the following instructions, or permanent damage to the meter may occur.

The 9300 Series meter offers a range of hardware options that affect input ratings. The 9300 Series meter’s serial number label lists all equipped options. Applying current levels incompatible with the current inputs will permanently damage the meter. This document provides installation instructions applicable to each hardware option.

The 9300 Series 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.
