The procedure for the safe removal of the meter from the installation is
described in section 26.2. Please ensure that ALL SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS are met before proceeding.
Electronic waste treatment
This product must not be disposed of in regular waste. Use a professional
electronic waste treatment process.
Based on the environmental certificate ISO 14001, the components used to
manufacture the device can, in the main, be broken down into constituent
parts and sent to an appropriate recycling or disposal facility. When the pro-
duct is removed from use, the whole product must be sent to a professional
electronic waste treatment process. The waste treatment and disposal
plants must be approved by local regulatory authorities.
The end processing of the product and recycling of its components must
always be carried out in accordance with the rules and regulations of the
country where the end processing and recycling are done.
Sensitive data
Previously commissioned meters may contain sensitive data (e.g. personal
data, consumption data, security credentials, firmware code). The supplier
is responsible for handling deployed meters with sensitive data such that
this data cannot be misused by other parties. The following two options are
available to achieve this:
1. Send the meter to Landis+Gyr for secure disposal
(Landis+Gyr is certified by the relevant authorities to do this).
2. Destroy the meter to ensure that access to its data is impossible and
dispose of the remaining components as explained below.
On request, Landis+Gyr will provide more information about the environ-
mental impact of the product.
