Mechanical Installation:

Mount the Nexus® 1450 Meter against any firm, flat surface. Use a #10 screw in each of the four slots on the
flange to ensure that the unit is installed securely. For safety reasons, mount the meter in an enclosed and pro-
tected environment, such as in a switchgear cabinet. Install a switch or circuit breaker nearby; label it clearly
as the meter's disconnecting mechanism.
