DANGER!
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
â–ª Follow safe electrical work practices. See NFPA 70E in the USA, or applicable local codes.
â–ª This equipment must only be installed and serviced by qualified electrical personnel.
â–ª Read, understand and follow the instructions before installing this product.
â–ª Turn off all power supplying equipment before working on or inside the equipment.
â–ª Any covers that may be displaced during the installation must be reinstalled before powering the unit.
â–ª Use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm power is off.
â–ª DO NOT DEPEND ON THIS PRODUCT FOR VOLTAGE INDICATION
â–ª Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
â–ª This product is not intended for life or safety applications.
â–ª Do not install this product in hazardous or classified locations.
â–ª The installer is responsible for conformance to all applicable codes.
â–ª Mount this product inside a suitable fire and electrical enclosure.
CAUTION
RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
â–ª This product is designed only for use with 0.33V output current transducers (CTs).
â–ª DO NOT USE CURRENT OUTPUT (e.g. 5A) CTs ON THIS PRODUCT.
â–ª Failure to follow these instructions can result in overheating and permanent equipment damage.
For use in a Pollution Degree 2 or better environment only. A Pollution Degree 2 environment must control
conductive pollution and the possibility of condensation or high humidity. Consider the enclosure, the correct
use of ventilation, thermal properties of the equipment, and the relationship with the environment.
Installation category: CAT II or CAT III
Provide a disconnect device to disconnect the meter from the supply source. Place this device in close
proximity to the equipment and within easy reach of the operator, and mark it as the disconnecting device.
The disconnecting device shall meet the relevant requirements of IEC 60947-1 and IEC 60947-3 and shall be
suitable for the application. Disconnecting fuse holders can be used in the USA and Canada. Provide
overcurrent protection and disconnecting device for supply conductors with approved current limiting devices
suitable for protecting the wiring.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the device
may be impaired.

Voltage Measurement and Power Wiring
BCM2-96xx series products are available with factory installed line cords
(PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT) or conduit knockouts and field wiring terminals
(PERMANENTLY CONNECTED EQUIPMENT).
This section describes how to wire models with conduit knockouts and field
wiring terminals. Models with factory installed line cords are not end user
wired and must not be opened or modified.
There are two conduit knockouts on the rear panel – one for voltage inputs
(voltages that are measured), the other for power (power to run the product).
In most cases, only voltage inputs are wired because power can be derived
from the voltage inputs (see jumpers in figure).
Product power is taken from the voltage inputs using two jumpers. A separate
circuit can be used for power which insures BCM2 continues to operate when
voltages inputs fail. A separate power circuit MUST be used if the voltage
inputs exceed power rating (90-240VAC). When using a separate circuit,
remove factory jumpers and wire circuit to the power L1 and L2 terminals.
A
Terminals accept 14-18 AWG
solid or stranded wire. Use
ring terminals on stranded
wire. Use wire rated 75°C or
higher.
B
Jumpers power unit from
voltage inputs. Move or
remove as necessary.
