Installation
Instructions
1. Using appropriate hardware, mount In-Line Meter to rack
2. Plug In-Line Meter into de-energized branch circuit receptacle
1 .
3. Connect external device to the In-Line Meter’s output outlet or connector.
4. Turn on branch circuit to energize the In-Line Meter.
5. Power on external device.
Guidelines
 If the In-Line Meter is installed in a cabinet the ambient temperature of the rack should be
no greater than 45
 C.
 Install the In-Line Meter such that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of
equipment is not compromised.
 Mount the In-Line Meter so that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven
mechanical loading.
 Follow nameplate ratings when connecting equipment to the branch circuit. Take into
consideration the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection
and supply wiring.
 The In-Line Meter relies on the building installation for protection from overcurrent conditions.
A certified overcurrent protection device is required in the building installation. The
overcurrent protection device should be sized according to the In-Line Meter’s nameplate
ratings and local/national electrical codes.
 Reliable earthing of rack-mount equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should
be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit.
 The In-Line Meter must be connected to an earthed socket-outlet.
 The In-Line Meter is intended for Restricted Access Locations only and only qualified service
personnel should install and access the In-Line Meter.
 For pluggable equipment, install the In-Line Meter so that the input plug or appliance coupler
may be disconnected for service.
 Caution: Disconnect all power cords before servicing.
 The In-Line Meter is intended for use with TN, TT, or IT power supply systems
1 Branch Circuit should be sized based on the In-Line Meter’s nameplate electrical rating. For North
American units, the branch circuit should have a current rating equal to 125% of the unit’s
nameplate current rating. For Global units, the branch circuit should have a current rating equal to
the unit’s nameplate current rating.
