Fitting the GB8 Meterbridge

The meter bridge is packed at one end of the box, within a cut-out in the protective foam packing material. There are also 5 screws
provided in a bag.
Ensure that the GB8 is disconnected from the mains before fitting the meter bridge.
First you need to connect the ribbon cable.
Position the meter bridge as shown in Fig. 1 below. This will allow you to connect the meter bridge's ribbon cable to the matching
connector in the GB8. The ribbon cable may have been tucked up into the meter bridge for shipping; if it has, gently extend the
cable to its full length below the meter bridge before attempting to connect it.

Next you need to assemble the
meterbridge to the GB8. Locate the metal
claws on the meter bridge into the
rectangular holes on the top of the GB8.
You will have to tip the meter bridge
forward to locate the claws. See Fig. 2.

Secure the back of the meter bridge to the GB8 using the five screws provided. See Fig. 4 below.

Plug the ribbon cables connector into the matching
connector on the GB8. The connectors are shaped
so that you cannot connect them the wrong way
round. Ensure that the connectors are firmly pushed
together so that the contacts are correctly seated.
When you have connected the cable you will have
to tuck the excess length back into the meter bridge
otherwise it may get trapped between the meter
bridge and the top of the GB8.
When the claws are located in the
holes tip the meter bridge back to
its upright position. Ensure that the
ribbon cable hasn't been trapped.
See Fig.3.
This completes the installation of
the meter bridge.
