Removing the Meter
from Service
Use caution when removing the REX meter from service.
Use authorized utility procedures to remove metering equipment. Dangerous
voltages are present, equipment damage, personal injury, or death can result if
safety procedures are not followed.
When the meter is removed from the field, the meter registration status should
be cleared before installing the meter in a new location (see “Clear Data” on
page 3-5).
Removing the REX Meter
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.
If it becomes necessary to remove a REX meter from service, use the following
procedure:
1. Before disconnecting the meter, make sure that the existing meter data
has been read from the display.
2. Remove the voltage and disconnect the current circuits.
3. Break the seal holding the REX meter in place.
4. Remove the seal and collar (or other security device).
5. Grasp each side of the meter and gently pull it from the socket. If the
meter resists removal, gently rock the meter up and down while pulling
back.
