INSTALLATION
There is no need to remove the meter from its case to 
complete the installation, wiring, and setup of the meter. 
Unpacking
Remove the meter from box. Inspect the packaging and 
contents for damage. Report damages, if any, to the carrier. 
If any part is missing or the meter malfunctions, please contact 
your supplier or the factory for assistance. 
Panel Mounting
Prepare a standard 1/8 DIN panel cutout – 3.622" x 1.772" (92 mm 
x 45 mm). Refer to Figure 1 for more details. 
Clearance: allow at least 4" (102 mm) behind the panel for wiring.
Panel thickness: 0.04" - 0.25" (1.0 mm - 6.4 mm). 
Recommended minimum panel thickness to maintain Type 4X 
rating: 0.06" (1.5 mm) steel panel, 0.16" (4.1 mm) plastic panel. 
Remove the two mounting brackets provided with the meter (back-off 
the two screws so that there is ¼" (6.4 mm) or less through the 
bracket. Slide the bracket toward the front of the case and remove). 
Insert meter into the panel cutout.
Install mounting brackets and tighten the screws against the panel. 
To achieve a proper seal, tighten the mounting bracket screws 
evenly until meter is snug to the panel along its short side. DO NOT 
OVER TIGHTEN, as the rear of the panel may be damaged.
