REX Meter
6 Installation and Removal Technical Manual
6-2 30 November 2006
Placing the Meter
into Service
See Appendix D, “Wiring Diagrams,” for illustrations of both internal and
connection wiring diagrams.
Make sure to install the correct meter for the service type, maximum current,
and capacity required. Installing mismatched meters can damage equipment.
Always verify that the maximum meter voltage and current ratings are equal to or
greater than the maximum service voltage and current.
If a REX meter is installed in a meter shop and a collector is powered at the
same time, the REX meter may have registered to the collector. Before removing
the REX meter from the meter shop, unregister the REX meter from the collector
(see “Clear Data” on page 3-5).
Installing the REX Meter
Use authorized utility procedures to install and service metering equipment.
Dangerous voltages are present. Equipment damage, personal injury, or death
can result if safety precautions are not followed.
To install the REX meter effectively and safely, follow this procedure:
1. Align the meter blades and meter base socket jaws to the service
socket.
2. Grasp each meter side and push it into the socket until the meter is
firmly in place. If the meter resists sliding into place, rock the meter up
and down while pushing forward.
3. Once firmly in place, power can be applied to the meter.
