10.2.1 Groundwork
2. By visual inspection, check for any loose or exposed electrical connections near the installation location.
If required, secure the loose connections or use fast-drying, commercially available insulation coating to
cover exposed connections.
3. Check and label the polarity of the supply to the consumer circuit. Polarity test can be performed by a
line tester. A live wire should cause the tester’s LED to glow whereas the neutral wire should not.
4. Ensure that the consumer’s installation is safe for isolation. Check the health status of fuses, cut-outs
etc.
7. When multiple meters are being installed next to each other on a central panel, ensure that correct
position is located for each consumer’s meter. Label the meter accordingly.
8. When the meter box is provided, fix the meter box first and then proceed with the installation of the
meter.
9. Remove both extended and secondary terminal block cover of the meter.
1. Mark out the meter fixing position on the mounting surface, drill a hole and fit a ST 4.2*19 mm AB fixing
screw keeping approximately 5 mm outside the surface to secure the meter in place
2. Ensure that the recommended screw is tightened at the correct mounting position.
3. Hang the meter from the top mounting hole provided at the rear panel of the meter.
4. Mark out the positions for mounting screws. Refer mounting dimensions given above or mounting
template available at the rear of meter packing box.
5. Remove the meter from the top mounting screw and drill out the holes for the bottom mounting screws.
2. Strip the insulation of cables used as per given recommendations. Following table shows the internal
bore diameters of all the terminals.
3. Check the condition of the cable. If the cable is corroded or oxidized, replace the entire cable.
4. If cable was already stripped for a previous installation, cut /trim the previous stripped length. Re-
prepare the cable termination.
5. Loosen the terminal screws and insert one cable core into the terminal cage.
6. Ensure that at least 5 mm of the insulated part of the cable core is inserted into the terminal box shroud.
If the cable insulation is thick enough to be inserted into the shroud, strip an extra length of 5.00 mm
and insulate this extra length with a standard insulation tape to prevent exposed conductor at terminal
end. Terminal block shroud will work as an insulation sleeve.
7. Prepare each core in the same manner for supply as well as load side
Premier 300 is equipped with an extended transparent terminal cover, and is intended to be used in installations
in which all the cabling is concealed; it is therefore not necessary to use double-insulated cable.
The cables must be cut and trimmed carefully. The insulation must be cut back, removed ‘squarely’ ensuring
that no copper is exposed on the portion of the cable outside the conductor bore. Particular care must be taken
to ensure that all the conductor strands are contained within the conductor bore and secured firmly with
conductor screws.
Approximately 20 mm conductor should be cut back when the cable is trimmed. The connections should be
made as per the connection diagrams shown in Annexure-A depending on the meter type. A suitable connection
diagram is shown on terminal block cover of the meter.
The process for fitting the conductors is as follows:
1. Insert each conductor core into the appropriate connection cage. Insert each cable into the terminal box
shroud. The terminals from left to right are 1S, 1L, 2S, 2L, 3S, 3L, NS, NL. Connect load side first i.e.
1L, 2L, 3L, NL and then the supply side i.e. 1S, 2S, 3S, NS.
Figure 10: Terminal block indicating all the load terminals of Premier 300 with additional RS232
2. Refer to the table below for the recommended torque. Use a torque screw driver to tighten the screws.
Tighten all the terminal screws in turn using a torque screw driver. Tighten the lower screws first,
followed by the upper screws. Check tightness of lower screw after tightening the upper screw. Check
for any loose connections and tighten them, if any.
3. Tightening the screws causes the cage clamp to grip the conductor more tightly. Tightening both screws
ensures that the force is distributed correctly.
14-E3V type
Table 10: Details for various screws used for electrical connections of Premier 300
4. Fit the secondary terminal cover and then the extended terminal cover with the screw over the terminal
block. The terminal cover screw has a transverse hole to facilitate sealing. Do not seal the screw at this
stage.
5. Reconnect the mains supply. The LCD should show ’All segment check’ display.
7. Seal the meter with the available sealing kit. Utility seals can be applied at terminal cover and
Configuration button. The sealing provision in Premier 300 is as follows.
NOTES:
1. To ensure correct operation of the meter, proper voltages and currents must be connected as specified
on the meter rating plate. Also, make sure to connect the neutral for all three-phase four-wire meters.
2. The meter should be installed by trained personnel. The installer must take special care while making
CT connection. It is recommended to disconnect the supply while making CT connection. However, if it
is connected on load then CT secondary must be shorted on TTB terminal and under no circumstances
the circuit should be left open. In addition all essential safety precautions recommended for installation
of electrical equipments should be followed.

11.4 MD Reset
Upon MD reset transaction, all maximum demand registers are copied to respective billing registers with
occurrence time and date stamp. Current registers are then reset. In case mains supply is absent, the
scheduled billing (on billing date) happens when mains supply is restored.
MD reset can be done through following mechanisms –
1. Pressing the left push-button, if configured through tool
2. Arrival of billing date
3. Change in STOD tables
4. MD reset command
If the transaction happens in the middle of current DIP, the on-going demand computation is not reset. The
demand is computed at the next DIP cross over. Premier 300 supports and logs MD reset (through a message).
It also displays the cause for an MD reset operation.
