Safety Instructions

Read these instructions carefully and look at the equipment to become familiar with the device before trying to install, operate, service or maintain it.
The following special messages may appear throughout this bulletin or on the equipment to warn of potential hazards or to call attention to information that clarifies or simplifies a procedure.

The addition of either symbol to a “Danger” or “Warning” safety label indicates that an electrical hazard exists which will result in personal injury if the instructions are not followed.

⚠ This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.

⚠ DANGER
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serius injury.

⚠ WARNING
WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serius injury.

Safety Precautions

⚠ DANGER

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH

  • Follow safe electrical work practices. See NFPA 70E in the USA, CSA Z462 in Canada, or applicable local codes.
  • Read and understand the instructions before installing the product. Follow the instructions during installation.
  • Installation, wiring, testing or service must be performed only by qualified persons in accordance with all applicable codes and regulations.
  • Install the product in an appropriate electrical and fire enclosure per local regulations.
  • Do not use the product for life or safety applications.
  • Do not install the product in hazardous or classified locations.
  • Do not exceed the product’s ratings or maximum limits.
  • The product may use multiple voltage/power sources.
  • Turn off ALL power supplying equipment before working on or inside the equipment.
  •  Use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm that all power is off.
  • Do NOT depend on the product for voltage indication.
  • Products rated only for basic insulation must be installed on insulated conductors.
  • Current transformer secondaries (current mode) must be shorted or connected to a burden at all times.
  • Remove all wire scraps and tools, replace all doors, covers and protective devices before powering the equipment.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

A qualified person is one who has skills and knowledge related to the construction and operation of this electrical equipment and installations, and has received safety training to recognize and avoid the hazards involved. NEC Article 100

If this product is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the product may be impaired. No responsibility is assumed by Schneider Electric for any consequences arising out of the use of this material.

Provide a disconnect device to disconnect the meter from the supply source. Place this device in close proximity to the equipment and within easy reach of the operator, and mark it as the disconnecting device. The disconnecting device shall
meet the relevant requirements of IEC 60947-1 and IEC 60947-3 and shall be suitable for the application. In the US and Canada, disconnecting fuse holders can be used. Provide overcurrent protection and disconnecting device for supply conductors with approved current limiting devices suitable for protecting the wiring.

For use in a Pollution Degree 2 or better environment only. A Pollution Degree 2 environment must control conductive pollution and the possibility of condensation or high humidity. Consider the enclosure, the correct use of ventilation, thermal
properties of the equipment, and the relationship with the environment.

Control system design must consider the potential failure modes of control paths and, for certain critical control functions, provide a means to achieve a safe state during and after a path failure. Examples of critical control functions are emergency stop and over-travel stop.

⚠ WARNING

LOSS OF CONTROL

  • Assure that the system will reach a safe state during and after a control path failure.
  • Separate or redundant control paths must be provided for critical control functions.
  • Test the effect of transmission delays or failures of communication links.1
  • Each implementation of equipment using communication links must be individually and thoroughly tested for proper operation before placing it in service.

Failure to follow these instructions may cause injury, death or equipment damage.

1For additional information about anticipated transmission delays or failures of the link, refer to NEMA ICS 1.1 (latest edition). Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation, and Maintenance of Solid-State Controls or its equivalent in your specific country, language, and/or location.
