ALPHA meterIL42-4001S2Socket-connected installationBefore you install the meter, check the following:• Are the socket and meter current class ratings compatible with the meter?• Is the wiring to the meter socket correct? See the wiring diagrams on the following pages.• Is a lightning arrestor present? If so, remove the paint from the socket rim where it contacts the arrestor's ground strap. This will ensure proper grounding.• Is the TEST button in the unlocked position? If the TEST button is in the locked position, the meter will enter TEST mode when you install it. For more information, see the technical manual for your meter.After you install the meter, check the following:• If load is applied, check that the pulse arrows on the LCD are blinking.The LCD has 2 sets of pulse arrows, one located above the other. The upper set of arrows indicates watthours, and the lower set indicates alternate energy (kVARh or kVAh, if available). The arrows pointing to the left indicate energy received; arrows pointing to the right indicate energy delivered. For more information, see the technical manual for your meter.Bottom-connected installationBefore you install a bottom-connected meter, check the following:• Determine where the meter is to be installed. It should be on a flat wall at the point of electrical service entrance cables.• Are the meter class and service connections compatible with the meter?To install a bottom-connected meter, perform these steps:1 Mount the bottom-connected meter or the bottom-connected S-to-A adapter.1 Use authorized utility procedures to install ground connection before wiring. Dangerous voltages are present. Equipment damage, personal injury, or death can result from wiring an ungrounded meter.2 Wire the meter. See the wiring diagrams beginning on page 3. If the wire diagram is larger than the wire, use only approved adapters. External meter wiring should be consistent with the meter class rating.- For 100 amp meters, use #2 wiring (or in accordance with standard utility operating practices)- For 150 amp meters, use #1 AWG or 50 mm2 wiring (or in accordance with standard utility operating practices)- For transformer rated meters, use #9 wiring (or in accordance with standard utility operating practices)1Not supplied by Elster Solutions.

ALPHA meterIL42-4001S12Battery installation and replacementTime-of-use meters are typically shipped with the battery installed and connected. If the battery is requested to be shipped disconnected, separately, or as a replacement, see the technical manual for procedures for battery installation or replacement. It is important that the battery not be connected unless the meter has been powered for at least 1 minute from the AC line within the last hour. It is important that the meter is not energized while the battery is being installed or replaced (see the technical manual). After connecting the battery and re-energizing the meter, the display should be checked to verify proper operation (that is, scrolling from one display quantity to the next). Failure to follow the correct sequence for battery connection can result in early battery discharge, the register being inoperative, or both.Relay output color codingMultiple relay output configurations are available with high voltage, solid state relays. The relay outputs can be identified based on the number of output leads and their color coding. The following configurations are available:• 1 relay with 6 output leads (see Figure 1)• 2 relays with 6 output leads (see Figure 1)• 4 relays with 8 output leads (see Figure 2)• 4 relays with 9 output leads (see Figure 3)• 6 relays with 12 output leads (see Figure 4)In all cases, the output leads exit the meter using approximately 24 inches of cable. Regardless of the configuration present, the relays are assigned as follows:• For ALPHA and ALPHA Plus meters:- KYZ1 is dedicated to kWh delivered.- KYZ2 is dedicated to kVAh delivered (for A1K or A1K+ meters) or kVARh delivered (for A1R or A1R+ meters)- When present, KYZ3 is dedicated to kWh received.- When present, KYZ4 is dedicated to kVAh received (for A1K or A1K+ meters) or kVARh received (for A1R or A1R+ meters)• For A3 ALPHA meters:- All relays are fully programmable. Sources for the relays can be any basic metered quantity, EOI, load control, PQM test failure, or relay-related alarm condition. See the A3 ALPHA Meter Technical Manual (TM422190B or later) and the Metercat User Guide (TM42-2204B or later) for specific information.
