4.1 Installing the Power-Ring

Adhere to your power utility’s safety procedures. Incorrect installation can result in personal injury or

damage to equipment.

1. Remove security band from meter base or lift cover plate if meter has a ringless base.

2. Carefully pull the meter from its base and set it safely aside.

3. With the Blanking Plate in the 6 o'clock position (aiming toward the ground) , rmly push the the

Power Ring in to the meter base.

You MUST secure utility permission and/or assistance prior to installing FlexPoint AX.

Wear electrically insulating gloves! Removing and reinstalling the meter will open and close the

meter’s live 240Vac (non-fused) terminals during the following procedure. Arcing may occur.

Install the Power-Ring along with meter installation or any time thereafter. The Safety Fuse Power-Ring

Converter can be installed now, or at a later date.

Equipment Tools & Supplies

AX-POWER-RING-A (power tap after meter) 0.100" Jeweler’s Screwdriver

-OR- Security Ring

AX-POWER-RING-B (power tap before meter) Blanking Plate

Cable Ties

Security Tag

Ringless meter bases may need to have the cover installed at this time.

NOTE:

ATTENTION:

4.0 Installation

4. If you are not installing the Safety Fuse Power-Ring Converter at this time, ensure the Blanking Plate

is securely snapped in at the bottom of Power-Ring.

5. Correctly orient the meter over the Power-Ring and rmly push it into the Power-Ring.

6. Attach security bands between the meter and Power-Ring, and Power-Ring and meter box (or close

cover plate).

7. Attach security tags to security bands, if required.

CAUTION!

WARNING! ELECTRICAL HAZARD

4.2 Installing the Safety Fuse Power-Ring Converter

1. Loosen the screw from the rear left side base of the Safety Fuse

Power-Ring Converter and remove the cover plate from the front

of the Safety Fuse Power-Ring Converter.

2. Remove the keyed, 3-pin plug from the base of the converter.

3. Strip 1/4" from the cable wire ends. Minimize the gap between

the outer jacket of the cable and the end of the insulation for

each individual wire. Connect the cable from the Power-Ring

into the 3-pin plug in the following order:

(–) - Pin 1, Output Negative

(+) - Pin 2, Output Positive

4. Tighten the plug screws with a 0.100" jeweler’s screwdriver.

To reduce the potential for a short circuit, verify no bare wire

is showing, or loose strands of wire are present between the

cables.

5. Insert plug into socket. For strain relief, loop a cable tie around

the wire and trim excess. Replace cover and resecure with

screw removed in step 1.

Converter. The FlexPoint AX does not make contact with Earth Ground through the meter socket; Earth Ground is

provided by connection to the NIU/NID. Prior to connection to the NIU/NID Earth Ground, the FlexPoint AX output

oats and may have enough leakage current to cause any one of the output leads to measure high voltage with

reference to Earth Ground. The energy represented by the high voltage does not represent a safety hazard, but

may cause a slight undesirable tingling sensation.

NOTE:

The converter can be installed at the same time as the Power-Ring, or at a later date. Refer to NOTE in Section 2

on wire size and distance.

4.3 Installing the Home Converter

1. Mount the Home Converter horizontally in a convenient

interior location near an AC outlet, using two (2) 8-32 pan

head screws (for placement over studs) or Molly bolts (for

mounting on drywall) long enough to support a 1-lb. unit.

2. Strip 1/4" from the cable wire ends. Connect the cable from

the Power-Ring into the 3-pin plug in the following order:

Pin 1, Output Negative (-), Pin 2, Output Positive (+), Pin

3, Control (BBPS).

Tighten the plug screws with a 0.100" jeweler’s

screwdriver. Toreducethepotentialforashortcircuit,

verifynobarewireisshowing,orloosestrandsofwire

are present between the cables.

3. Verify orientation of plug and snap the 3-pin plug into the

Home Converter. Do not force the plug into the converter.

4. Use a cable tie as a strain relief as shown to the left.

Tighten the cable tie and trim the excess.

4.2 Installing the Safety Fuse Power-Ring Converter, continued

5. Use at-bladed screwdriver to remove blanking plate from the Safety Fuse Power-Ring.
