Before Disassembling the Meter

Beforeattemptingtoremovethebackplateoftherevenuemeter,ensurethatitis
protectedagainststaticelectricitydischarge.Topreventdamagetotheunit,wear
anantistaticwriststrapatalltimes.

DANGER
During normal operation of an ION7300 series revenue meter, hazardous voltages are present which
can cause severe injury or death. These voltages are present on the terminal strips of the device and
throughout the connected potential transformer (PT), current transformer (CT), status input, relay, and
control power circuits. Installation and servicing should be performed only by qualified, properly trained
personnel.

1. OpenallPTfuses(ordirectvoltageinputfuses)andcloseallCTshorting
blocks.
2. TurnoffallpowertotherevenuemeteranddisconnecttheLineandNeutral(or
DCpower)wiresfromtheSupplyPowerinputs.
3. Disconnectallotherwiring(orpoweroffallothercircuits)thatmaypresent
potentiallyhazardousvoltagetotheunit,suchasconnectionstotherelay
outputs.
4. EnsurethatallcablesstillconnectedtotherevenuemeterareNOTlive.

CAUTION
The components inside an ION7300 series revenue meter are extremely sensitive to electrostatic
discharge. To prevent damage to the unit, always wear an anti-static wrist strap when working inside the
unit. Failure to use proper equipment during servicing will void the meters warranty.
