2.5 Mount the meter module

2.5.1 TC-1205/TC-1207 Meter Module (electromechanical meters)

1. Attach the connector of the IR serial interface to the mating connector on the meter module. Take care to align the

keys on the connector to the slots on the socket.

2. The connector should snap into place. Do not force the connector into place. If force is necessary then the keys are

likely not aligned with the slots in the socket.

3. Position the module over the mounting posts on the meter.

4. Position the nameplate over the module. Use the ½” mounting screws for GE I-70, or the original nameplate

mounting screws for the ABB AB-1, and secure the module to the mounting posts.
