TD2001 COPYRIGHT© 2002 INVENYS HOME CONTROL SYSTEMS 7/30/02vSR1Invensys vCon RF MeterGeneral InstructionsDescriptionThe vCon™ Single-Phase meter provides Form 2S-240V residential electronic metering with advanced sensor technology and integrated RF network communications capability. The meter displays accumulated electricity usage data on an easy-to-read LCD display, is compatible with industry requirements for mounting and device profile features, and can be dismantled without the use of hand tools. It is available in the industry standard Single-Phase meter Form 2S configuration, and is compliant with all applicable ANSI standards.The vCon meter is a member of the Invensys GoodWatts System family. This meter supports utility, service provider and end-user (home or business-owner) needs for automated utility measurement, data collection, control, notification, and usage management.Warning: Any work on, or near, energized meters, meter sockets, or other metering equipment can present a danger of electrical shock. All work on this product should be performed only by qualif9ed electricians and metering specialists in accordance with local utility safety practices, utility requirements, and procedures outlined in Chapter 14 of The Handbook for Electricity Metering (9th Edition). The information contained in this manual is intended to be an aid to qualified metering personnel. It is not intended to replace the extensive training necessary to handle metering equipment in a safe manner. Use extreme caution when servicing with power on.PrecautionsAll industry safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, service, and repair of the Invensys vCon RF Meter meter. Failure to comply with precautions or with specific warnings in this document violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and the intended use of the metering instrument. Invensys assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to comply with these requirements.Caution: This equipment is authorized for use under the United States Federal Communication Commission Rules and Regulations, Code of Federal Regulations Chapter 47 part 15 and must be installed in accordance with the instructions provided in this document. In accordance with FCC requirements, changes or modifications to this equipment that are not expressly approved by the party responsible for FCC compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.FIGURE 1. Invensys vCon RF MeterNote: To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements in section 1.1307, a minimum separation distance of 20 cm (8 inches) is required between the antenna and all persons.Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
