Internal Electronic Circuits
The internal electronic circuits of these meters are, due to technical necessity, connected
to MAINS LIVE.
Removal of Terminal Cover
All supplies connected to the meter should be isolated before any attempt is made to
remove the meter terminal cover. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or death.
Live parts will be exposed when the terminal cover or main cover is removed.
The main cover is permanently fixed. It cannot be removed without destroying the meter.
Liquid Crystal Display
Liquid crystals are toxic. If a display is damaged, avoid contact with the liquid. If the liquid
makes contact with the skin it must be washed off immediately with water.

3 COMPLIANCE WITH STANDARDS AND EUROPEAN
DIRECTIVES
Meters are marked with the European CE mark, in accordance with the Marking Directive
93/68/EEC, to indicate compliance with the requirements of the EMC Directive
89/336/EEC.
Safety requirements for meters are addressed in specific metering standards outlined
below. The CE Mark does not denote compliance with the European Low Voltage
Directive 73/23/EEC, which specifically excludes electricity meters.
The A100C meter measures active energy according to the requirements of EN 62053-
21:2003 for indoor kWh meters of protective Class II and accuracy Class 1 or 2.
The degree of protection is to IP53, IEC 60529:1989.
The meter complies with BS7856:1996 - dimensional requirements.
Devices for metering and billing electrical energy described in this manual are supplied
for use in a 'Fixed Installation' only. Devices described are a 'component of a system
only' and therefore outside the scope of European Directives 2002/95/EC RoHS
(Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical Equipment) and
2002/96/EC WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment).
