The REXUniversal meter with Wireless WIC communication may be ordered in the following

configurations:

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.

Use circuit closing devices on current transformer secondaries (3S & 4S meters). Equipment damage,

personal injury, or death can result if circuit closing secondaries are not used.
