5.1 Activating the Power-Ring Converter
You MUST secure the power utility’s permission and/or assistance prior to installing FlexPoint AX.
Adhere to your power utility’s safety procedures. Poor installation can result in personal injury or
damage to equipment.
1. Remove the security band (and tag, if present) from the meter.
2. Remove the Blanking Plate from the Power-Ring by inserting a slotted screwdriver tip into a slot
located on either side of the Blanking Plate. Slowly twist the screwdriver to lift the Blanking Plate
from the Power-Ring. Set the Blanking Plate aside.
3. Insert the Power-Ring Converter through the Power-Ring base. Ensure the converter “clicks” into
place.
4. Check the LEDs on the Battery Module or NID/NIU/ONT to ensure the Power-Ring converter and
cable are correctly installed. If the Battery Module or NID/NIU/ONT is not receiving power check
the wire connections and/or replace the Power-Ring Converter.
5. Replace the security band on the meter. You can attach a security tag through the band and the
small fl ange extending from the side of the converter.
6. Close the Battery Module and attach a security tag.
