SAFETY G UIDELINES
Shock Hazard Warning
Shock hazard
Electricity can cause burns and interfere with the operation of the heart.
Working with electricity can be hazardous. Wear appropriate PPE and observe all
applicable safety procedures. The PPE should include insulating gloves, safety
glasses, and any other equipment required by the utility or the circumstances of the
installation.
RF Exposure Hazard
RF exposure hazard
The equipment will begin communicating once it powers up. This will expose
people nearby to RF energy, however an analysis of the power levels finds that the
levels are safe per FCC and Health Canada recommendations.
Users are advised to maintain a distance of 20 cm or more from the meter, or a
bank of meters, in order to minimize exposure levels.
ESD Caution
Electrostatic discharge may damage equipment.
Repairs to the meter should only occur in the meter shop. Wear suitable ESD
protective gear, such as grounding straps, when servicing equipment, or return the
equipment to the factory for repair.
