Installation - ABB i-bus EIB Mode D'emploi

Important notes
EIB Delta-Meters are intended solely for the measurement of
electrical energy. The installation and assembly may only be
carried out by authorised electrical specialists. The appropriate
norms, guidelines, regulations and specifications should be
observed when planning and setting up electrical installations.
Advisory:
– EIB Delta-Meters should be protected from damp, dirt and
damage during transport, storage and operation.
– EIB Delta-Meters should not be operated outside the specified
technical data.
– Sufficient cooling for the EIB Delta-Meter must be allowed for.
Cleaning: If devices become dirty, they can be cleaned using a
slightly damp cloth and soap solution if a dry cloth does not
remove the dirt. Corrosive materials or solutions should never be
used. Always disconnect the meter prior to cleaning.
Maintenance: EIB Delta-Meters are maintenance-free.
No repairs should be carried out if damage occurs (e.g. during
transport or storage).
The warranty expires if the EIB Delta-Meter is opened.

Installation

The EIB Delta-Meters are suitable for installation in distribution
boards or small enclosures, for wall mounting or panel mounting.
They can be snapped onto 35 mm mounting rails, according to
DIN EN 50 022.
Connection: The electrical connection is carried out via screw
terminals. The terminal markings and insulation strip lengths are
embossed in the terminal area of the meter. The connecting
screws should be tightened using the following torque:
Main terminal: – Direct connected meter
– Transformer rated meter
When connecting aluminium conductors, the contact surfaces of
the conductors should be cleaned, brushed and greased.
The connecting terminals should be re-tightened after approx.
6 to 8 weeks.
Maintenance procedures can be simplified by using external
terminal blocks when connecting a transformer.
Fuse protection: The voltage circuit should be protected by a
series-connected, miniature circuit-breaker, in order to prevent
the meter from being damaged in the event of a short circuit or
overload.
– Direct connected meter max. 65 A (63 A)
– Transformer rated meter max. 6 A
Seal: To protect the EIB Delta-Meter from being tampered with
after installation and programming, it is possible to seal the
device at four points.
