Danger
This symbol indicates the presence of dangerous voltage within and outside the product enclosure
that may constitute a risk of electric shock, serious injury or death to persons if proper precautions
are not followed.
Caution
This symbol alerts the user to the presence of hazards that may cause minor or moderate injury to
persons, damage to property or damage to the device itself, if proper precautions are not followed.
Note
This symbol directs the user's attention to important installation, operating and maintenance
instructions.

Installation Considerations

Installation and maintenance of the I/O Expander meter should only be performed by qualified, competent personnel
that have appropriate training and experience with high voltage and current devices. The meter must be installed in
accordance with all Local and National Electrical Codes.
D
ANGER
Failure to observe the following instructions may result in severe injury or death.
During normal operation of the
and throughout the connected potential transformer (PT), current transformer (CT), digital (status) input,
control power and external I/O circuits. PT and CT secondary circuits are capable of generating lethal
voltages and currents with their primary circuit energized. Follow standard safety precautions while per-
forming any installation or service work (i.e. removing PT fuses, shorting CT secondaries, etc).
The terminal strips on the meter base should not be user-accessible after installation.
Do not use digital output devices for primary protection functions. These include applications where the
devices perform energy limiting functions or provide protection of people from injury. Do not use the
in situations where failure of the devices can cause injury or death, or cause sufficient energy to
Expander
be released that can start a fire. The meter can be used for secondary protection functions.
Do not HIPOT/Dielectric test the digital (status) inputs, digital outputs, or communications terminals. Refer
to the label on the
I/O Expander
C
AUTION
Observe the following instructions, or permanent damage to the meter may occur.
The meter offers a range of hardware options that affect input ratings. The
I/O Expander
meter's serial number label lists all equipped options. Applying current levels
incompatible with the current inputs will permanently damage the meter. This document provides
installation instructions applicable to each hardware option.
The meter's chassis ground must be properly connected to the switchgear earth ground for
I/O Expander
the noise and surge protection circuitry to function correctly. Failure to do so will void the
warranty.

FCC Notice

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
