Technical Manual 6 Installation and Removal
6 Installation and Removal
Preliminary
Inspection
Circuit-closing devices must be used on current transformer secondaries. This
applies to Form 3S and 4S meters. Dangerous currents and voltages are
present if secondaries are open-circuited. Equipment damage, personal injury,
or death can result if circuit-closing devices are not used.
The REX meter is calibrated and tested at the factory and is ready for
installation. Follow proper installation and removal procedures for personal
safety and protection of the meter.
Before installing and applying power to the REX meter, Elster Electricity
recommends a quick inspection of the meter. Check for any of the following
items:
missing or broken parts
missing or broken wiring
bent or cracked components
evidence of overheating
Also, check the nameplate to make sure the meter is appropriate for the service.
Physical damage to the outside of the REX meter could indicate potential
electronic damage to the inside of the meter. Do not connect power to a meter
that is suspected of having internal damage. Contact your local Elster Electricity
representative if you suspect your meter may be damaged.
