HDPM Safety & Regulatory Information

This symbol is used throughout this manual to indicate critical safety information. Failure to observe the information following this symbol may result in injury or death.

Packet Power LLC assumes no liability for user’s failure to comply with these safety guidelines. Please read this entire manual carefully before proceeding.

Hazards and Cautions

• Read all instructions carefully prior to installation.

• Always ensure power has been disconnected prior to doing any work.

• The High-Density Power Monitor (HDPM) should be installed only by qualified technicians. Familiarity with and understanding of all terms used in this manual is assumed.

• HDPM should be deployed in conjunction with proper branch circuit protectors.

• The user is responsible for ensuring that all work is performed in accordance with local electrical codes and regulations and using appropriate tools and materials.

• HDPM should only be connected to the type of power source indicated on the label.

• The current transformer(s) used with the HDPM must be appropriate to the amperage of the circuit(s) on which they will be used.

• Only current transformers approved by Packet Power should be connected to the HDPM. Using unapproved current transformers could result in inaccurate readings and damage to the HDPM system.

• Current transformers shall provide two means of isolation from hazardous voltages. When selecting a current transformer, the voltage and measurement category of the circuit to be measured must be considered to ensure that the current transformer is adequately insulated and rated. For 480V circuits, insulation shall be at least 600V rated. For 240V circuits, insulation shall be at least 300V rated.

• Prior to installation, check to make sure the HDPM has not been damaged.

• Following installation in the final product, the connectors on the HDPM must be fully enclosed and insulated from the external product enclosure in compliance with all relevant local electrical codes and regulations.

• A safety connection to electrical ground / earth must be used.

• Once installed on a conductor, current sensors must be connected to the HDPM. Failure to do so creates an unsafe condition and will result in damage to the current sensors.

• Follow basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of electrical shock and damage to equipment.

• Store in a clean, dry location. Clean with a dry cloth.

• Intended for indoor use only. do not install in a wet location.

• Always use proper PPE when working in energized environments.

CAUTION:  This system and the area it is installed in may contain life threatening voltages. Qualified personnel must disconnect all high voltage wiring before using or servicing the HDPM. Always use proper PPE when working in energized environments.

Do not apply or remove the current clamps from live conductors.
