Warnings, Cautions, and Notes Always consult and adhere to all local and national safety codes, regulations, and standards.WARNING, CAUTION and Note statements are used throughout this manual to emphasize important and critical information to help you ensure safety and prevent product damage.These statements are defined below. Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious physical injury.
FCC/IC Compliance Antennas Only the antenna provided with this device is authorized to be used without additional approvals from Aclara, the FCC, and ISED. FCC/IC RF Exposure Guide Aclara Technologies LLC low power RF devices and their antennas must be fixed-mounted on outdoor permanent structures providing a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons during normal operation. This device is not designed to operate in conjunction with any other antennas or transmitters.
Avertissements, mises en garde et remarques Toujours consulter et respecter les codes, règlements et normes de sécurité locaux et nationaux. Des AVERTISSEMENTS, MISES EN GARDE et remarques sont utilisés tout au long de ce guide pour souligner l'information importante et critique qui vous aidera à assurer la sécurité et à prévenir les dommages au produit. Ces énoncés sont définis ci-dessous.
Conformité FCC/IC Antennes L'antenne fournie avec ce compteur est la seule qui puisse être utilisé sans l'approbation d' Aclara, the FCC et l' ISED. Guide d'exposition aux RF FCC/IC Les appareils RF à faible puissance Aclara Technologies LLC ainsi que leurs antennes doivent être montés de manière fixe sur des structures intérieures ou extérieures permanentes qui se trouvent à au moins 20 cm des personnes pendant le fonctionnement normal.
Installation Notes Relay Connection The ILC device 24 VAC relay port is only designed to accept a maximum 5 A. This limit applies even if the relay component supports 12 A. 24 VAC/5 A port loads must be protected with dedicated 5 A breakers. 208-277 VAC/30 A port loads must be protected with dedicated 30 A breakers. RF Location The ILC device contains an internal radio antenna intended only for outdoor use. Install the ILC device in an area where structures, trees, or hills provide minimum obstructions.
Safety Warning Safety Warning Any work near high voltage can present a danger of electrical shock. Your personal safety may be compromised if Aclara equipment is used in a manner not specified by Aclara. All wiring must be installed in accordance with local and national codes. Required Tools In addition to standard hand tools, the following special tools are required to perform this procedure: • 0-10 in-lbs.
2. Open the door, and remove the four screws securing the high voltage barrier to the enclosure. 3. Configure the 24 volt relays by moving the associated jumper to set the desired configuration. ILC devices are shipped from the factory with the 24 volt relays configured as normally closed relays. If normally open relays are desired, move the associated jumper so that it shorts the center and N.O. pins. Refer to the table and images below for more information.
Installation Instructions 4. Connect appropriately sized conduit to the openings for the supply line and desired load connections using compatible conduit fittings, such as the Hubbell P050NGYA for ½” conduit. The ILC device supports 50/60Hz input power for 208 to 277VAC. Refer to the following table for Port 0 and Port 1 configuration values.
5. NOTE Refer to the wiring diagram when routing the desired load wires through the appropriate conduit. Remove approximately.28-.31 inches (7.08.0 mm) of insulation from the end of each wire, so as to make a good connection without leaving any copper exposed. ILC device tamper detection requires that the input power and any connected relay ports use the same electric service phase.
Wiring Diagram Wiring Diagram The following image provides a system and wiring overview that may be helpful for successfully installing the ILC device.
6. Secure the wires in place by carefully tightening the connector screws to 7.0-8.9 in-lbs. Over-tightening the screws or allowing the connector to move while tightening the screws may damage the connector or PC board connection. 7. Reinstall the inner cover by torquing four screws to 10 in-lbs., and close the other door without locking it. 8. Re-apply power to the ILC device, and verify the green Power LED is on. The amber Demand LED may be lit for at least the first five minutes.
Wiring Diagram 9. 12 If the fault LED light is not illuminated, verify the door is closed and torque the screw to 1 in-lb with a low speed driver (below 400 rpm). Secure the door screw with a utility approved lock or security seal. The door screw will accept cables and locks up to .070” in diameter.
Troubleshooting The ILC device contains LEDs that provide the installer with information needed to verify that the system is wired correctly. These LEDs are visible through the holes in the inner cover of the ILC device as shown in the following image. Observing a solid blue light through the inner cover vents (within 5 minutes of power up) indicates the system has successfully connected to the network. A blinking red light indicates that the ILC device is wired incorrectly.
