FCC Compliance
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 generates, 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 consult Aclara Support for help.
Safety Information
The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation,
service, and repair of this device. Failure to comply with these precautions or with
specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of design,
manufacture, and the intended use of the metering instrument. Aclara 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
(10th 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.
• Use care when servicing with the power on.
• Do not assume neutral (white lead) is always at earth ground potential. Some
services have this connection at line voltage.
• Be aware that dangerous voltages exist at several points within the meter
when this product is installed on a meter base.
• Disconnect power before meter disassembly, soldering, or replacing
components.
The 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.
Consult the meter instruction/technical manual for meter specific information.

3.
Remove the top of the meter by squeezing the pair of clips on each side of
the meter.
4.
Disconnect the remote disconnect wire from the top of the meter, if the
meter has the remote disconnect option,

7.
Attach the longer red and black remote disconnect wires as shown in the
following image.
8.
Verify the GE-supplied bridge is properly positioned on the meter base.

9.
NOTE
If the meter has the remote disconnect option, carefully pull the remote
disconnect wire underneath the bridge so it can be properly routed in Step 12.
10.
Secure the bridge to the meter base using the two screws.
Remove the backing from the antenna.

11.
NOTE
Affix the antenna to the antenna holder.
When applying the antenna, maximum bond strength can be obtained by
thoroughly cleaning and drying the surface of the antenna holder with
isopropyl alcohol. For applications such as this, it is important to use
reagent grade solvents. Common household materials, such as rubbing
alcohol, frequently contain oils to minimize the drying affect on skin, and
can interfere with the performance of a pressure-sensitive adhesive.
