WARNINGS

Internal Electronic Circuits
Parts of the internal electronic circuits of these meters are, due to technical necessity, connected to
PHASE VOLTAGES.
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.
Removal of the main cover invalidates the certification of certified meters.
