INSTALLATION

17.1

Unpacking

Remove the meter from it's packaging and inspect for damage.
Check that there is no movement or loose parts within the meter enclosure.
If damage has been sustained in transit, an immediate claim should be made to the Transport
Company, and a report sent to the Elster Metering Systems branch office or agent.
Removal of meter seals will invalidate certification.
The meter type and rating must be correct for the intended application.

Once removed from the packaging, meters must be treated with care and not subjected to excessive
shock or mechanical vibration.
Normal care should be taken to avoid marking or scratching the meter case and polycarbonate cover.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

The A1700 meter has been designed and tested for compliance with the EMC Directive.
It is, however, the responsibility of the installer for ensuring that a system conforms to the Directive.
In order to assist the installer the following guidelines are given: -
1. Keep a.c. circuits and d.c. circuits separated by a minimum of 50mm where possible
2. Where a.c. and d.c. circuits must cross, do so at right angles to each other
3. The cables for each circuits must be bunched together to minimise the loop area enclosed
