IQ 100 Series Electrical Installation
Considerations When Installing Meters
Installation of the IQ 100 Series meter must be performed only by qualied personnel who follow •
standard safety precautions during all procedures. Those personnel should have appropriate training
and experience with high voltage devices. Appropriate safety gloves, safety glasses and protective
clothing is recommended.
During normal operation of the IQ 100 Series meter, dangerous voltages ow through many parts of •
the meter, including: Terminals and any connected CTs (Current Transformers) and PTs (Potential
Transformers), all I/O Modules (Inputs and Outputs) and their circuits. All Primary and Secondary
circuits can, at times, produce lethal voltages and currents. Avoid contact with any current-carrying
surfaces.
Do not use the meter for primary protection or in an energy-limiting capacity. The meter can only be •
used as secondary protection.
Do not use the meter for applications where failure of the meter may cause harm or death. •
Do not use the meter for any application where there may be a risk of re.•
All meter terminals should be inaccessible after installation.•
Do not apply more than the maximum voltage the meter or any attached device can withstand. Refer •
to meter and/or device labels and to the Specications for all devices before applying voltages. Do
not HIPOT/Dielectric test any Outputs, Inputs or Communications terminals.
Eaton recommends the use of Shorting Blocks and Fuses for voltage leads and power supply to •
prevent hazardous voltage conditions or damage to CTs, if the meter needs to be removed from
service. CT grounding is optional.
NOTE: IF THE EQUIPMENT IS USED IN A MANNER NOT SPECIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER,
THE PROTECTION PROVIDED BY THE EQUIPMENT MAY BE IMPAIRED.
NOTE: THERE IS NO REQUIRED PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE OR INSPECTION
NECESSARY FOR SAFETY. HOWEVER, ANY REPAIR OR MAINTENANCE SHOULD BE
PERFORMED BY THE FACTORY.
DISCONNECT DEVICE: The following part is considered the equipment disconnect device.
A SWITCH OR CIRCUIT-BREAKER SHALL BE INCLUDED IN THE END-USE EQUIPMENT OR
BUILDING INSTALLATION. THE SWITCH SHALL BE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE
EQUIPMENT AND WITHIN EASY REACH OF THE OPERATOR. THE SWITCH SHALL BE
MARKED AS THE DISCONNECTING DEVICE FOR THE EQUIPMENT.
