2.3

Maintenance

No maintenance is required during the communication module life-time. The implemented
communication technique, built-in components and manufacturing procedures ensure high long-
term stability.
• In case the service of the module is needed, the requirements from the module installation
procedure must be observed and followed.
• Cleaning of the module is allowed only with a soft dry cloth. Cleaning is forbidden in the
region of terminal cover, where cables are connected to the meter. Cleaning can be
performed only by the personnel responsible for maintenance.
CAUTION: Never clean soiled modules under running water or with high pressure
devices. Penetrating water can cause short circuits. A damp cleaning cloth is enough to
remove normal dirt such as dust.
• The quality of seals must be regularly checked.
DANGER: Breaking the seals and removing the terminal cover or meter cover will lead to
potential hazards because there are live electrical parts inside.
• After the end of the meter's lifetime, the communication module should be treated
according to the Waste Electric and Electronic (WEEE) Directive!
