10 Meter Installation
Testing for Correct Meter Operation
When power is applied to the meter, the following can be checked to determine if the
meter is operating properly:
Function/Operation Indicated By
Power to meter is On The display is active (shows information).
Power to load is On
(load disconnect contactor is in the On, or closed,
position)
The “disconnect open” display indicator
is Not illuminated, indicating that the
disconnect contactor is closed.
All necessary phases are connected to the meter
and providing voltage
The L1 and/or L2 phase indicators are lit on the display,
signifying the phases that have voltage present
Polyphase only: The phases are connected to
the meter correctly (Does not detect reversed line
and load wires or swapped line and neutral)
L1, L2, L3 (L1, L3 for 2s/12s) indicators are lit on the display
(verification only available for 3-phase, 4-wire electrical service)
Polyphase only: The phases are not connected
to the meter in the correct order (Does not detect
every possible incorrect connection order such as
L3L1L2, reversed line and load wires, or
swapped line and neutral)
L1, L2, L3 (L1, L3 for 2s/12s) indicators are lit on the display
(verification only available for 3-phase, 4-wire electrical service)
The metered building is consuming active energy
(forward active)
The ““ arrow is lit on the display
The metered building is generating active energy
(reverse active)
The ““ arrow is lit on the display
A self-test failed, a tamper condition has been
detected, or an alarm condition has occurred
An error code may lock the display or a caution code may be
shown at the end of the scrolling display list, if these codes have
been configured to be active. See “Self Tests and Diagnostic
Messages” on page 1 for information on messages
The main cover has been properly installed and
the cover tamper switch is closed
The “tamper switch open” display indicator
is Not illuminated, indicating that the cover is installed properly
PLC network communication is occurring
This icon is lit when PLC communication on the network
has been detected by the meter. This icon can be used during
installation to see if network communication can be ‘heard’ by
the meter before the meter is accepted by the system as an
active device. See “Power Line Carrier Communication” on
page 1 for detailed information.
PLC communication has occurred with the meter
(See “Reading the Display” in Chapter 3 for more
information)
This icon indicates that PLC communication occurred
with this specific meter within the last X minutes (X is
configurable from 1 to 65535 minutes) and shows the quality of
the most recent received PLC message.
See “Power Line Carrier Communication” on page 1 for detailed
information.
