Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in these instructions violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and the intended use of the metering instrument. Landis+Gyr Inc assumes no liability for the customer's failure to comply with these requirements. • Warning: Any work on, or near, energized meters, meter sockets, or other metering equipment can present a danger of electrical shock. All work on this product should be performed only by qualified electricians and metering specialists in accordance with local utility safety practices, utility requirements and procedures outlined in Chapter 14 of The Handbook for Electricity Metering (9th edition). The information contained within this manual is intended to be an aid to qualified metering personnel. It is not intended to replace the extensive training necessary to handle metering equipment in a safe manner. • Remove the meter from service prior to installing the antenna isolation kit and/or remote external antennas. • Be aware that dangerous voltages exist at several points within the meter when this product is installed on a meter socket. • Always disconnect power before meter disassembly, soldering, or replacing components. The S4e meter is connected directly to line potential. Due to the possibility of the potential lines being reversed, points accessible with the cover off may be at line voltage. LINE POTENTIAL IS PRESENT ON THE INCOMING CONNECTORS ON THE MEASUREMENT BOARD INCLUDING THE BATTERY CONNECTOR. The connectors have full-length insulators crimped onto each connector, which are shielded by the housing. However, pulling the connector loose will expose the battery terminals, which may be at line potential. The option board is connected directly to the main board and may be at a high potential. A Mylar shield prevents touching the option board. Removing the Mylar shield exposes line voltage. The above warning label affixed to the meter frame identifies hazards in the meter. Failure to follow all instructions may result in an unsafe product that could cause injury or death CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE METER WITHOUT ANTENNA ATTACHED. OPERATION WITHOUT ANTENNA MAY CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE UTILINET MODULE. Landis+Gyr FCC Information This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Landis+Gyr could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: - Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. - Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. - Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. - …
