kV™ Meters with 26 pin headers
instead of 30 pin headers cannot be
retrofitted with the kV RSX Option
Board .

in hand, insert the tabs on the kV RSX
Option Board into the slots in the bezel
(see figure 8).
Figure 8: Inserting option boards
7. Gently lower the board until the 30 pin
connector on the meter and the kV RSX
Option Board are engaged. Make sure
that the two snaps engage the board.
8. Reassemble the meter, except for the
cover, as described in the kV™ Meter
Installation, Operation, and Maintenance
Guide (GEH-5081).
9. Insert and tighten a wire tie around the
cable assembly on the inside of the
meter base to retain the cable assembly.
10. On the right side of the upper nameplate
place an “X” in the box marked “RS” and
replace the cover. See Figure .
11. The meter is now ready to be
programmed using GE’s MeterMate
software.

Installation on A-base Meters
While the meter is unassembled, the A-base
communications cable assembly must be
installed. This cable assembly is installed in
A-base meters as follows:
1. With the kV™ Meter base facing you,
locate the knockout on the left side of
the base (see Figure 10) and remove it
by tapping it with a punch. Make sure
the hole is clean and the knockout parts
are removed.

assembly on A-Base meters
2. Insert the small connectors end of the
cable assembly through the knockout
from the outside of the meter base until
the grommet contacts the knockout.
Make sure that the cable has been
brought up on the outside of the shroud.
3. Insert the grommet into the knockout
and push until the grommet is fully
seated.
