Page 5: Good Installation Practice
Innovation In and Out of Parlour Good Installation Practice Mains Supply A separate mains supply and earth running directly from the customers distribution board is essential. Avoid routing the mains cable to the power supply close to other supplies especially those providing intermittent current - motors that are starting and stopping continually or high power heaters with thermostatic control. - Page 6 Innovation In and Out of Parlour Good Installation Practice Continued Adopting good engineering practice during installation will avoid most problems with electronic control systems. The following should be considered when installing milk meter systems: Check the existing wiring carefully. Do not assume that it will be up to the required standard. It may have been extended with thinner wire and be unable to carry the current without a volt drop.
