December 2007 IL42-4026E REX/REX2 Meter Installation Instructions General This leaflet contains installation instructions for the REX and REX2-EA solid-state, residential electricity meters (referred to as REX within this IL) with the following form factors:
self-contained: Forms 1S, 2S, and 12S transformer-rated: Forms 3S and 4S All meters are calibrated and sealed before shipment. For proper installation, accuracy, and maximum life of the meters, use the following procedures.
WARNING Use authorized utility procedures to install and service metering equipment. Dangerous voltages are present. Equipment damage, personal injury, or death can result if safety procedures are not followed.
WARNING When using the REX meter with the internal service control switch, follow authorized utility procedures to reconnect electrical service. Property damage, personal injury, or death can result if proper safety precautions are not followed. Installing the REX Meter 1. Make sure the meter to be installed matches the service type (that is, form), current, capacity, voltage, and service socket. 2. Check the socket and verify that the wiring is correct. See Internal Wiring Diagrams on page 2 and Installation Wiring Diagrams on page 3 for wiring diagrams. 3. Make sure that the voltage disconnect or test link on the back of the meter is closed, if installed. 4. Line up the meter blades to the socket jaws and rock the meter into place. Make sure that the meter is in the upright position. 5. Make sure the LCD turns on and the energy use indicator flashes if load is present. The LCD has two pulse arrows. The arrow pointing to the left indicates energy received; the arrow pointing to the right indicates energy delivered. For more information, see the technical manual for your meter. 6. Apply all seals and record any necessary information. Elster Raleigh, North Carolina USA

WARNING Circuit closing devices must be used on current transformer secondaries. This applies to Form 3S and 4S meters. Dangerous voltages may be present if current transformer secondaries are open-circuited while the transformer is energized. Equipment damage, personal injury, or death can result if circuit-closing devices are not used.
