Anti-tamper sealing methods
The following sections describe the anti-tamper sealing methods used by the ION8650 revenue meter option.
Demand reset switch seal
The demand reset switch located on the front panel can be sealed by a wire seal or lock inserted through the side of the switch. This seal does not have to be broken to remove the meter's cover.
Socket seals
A standard ANSI C12.7 type socket-sealing ring can be used to hold the socket meter to the socket. When removing the outer cover, the sealing ring must first be removed. Some socket sealing rings facilitate wire seals.
Outer cover/case seals
For socket models, the outer cover of the meter is factory sealed to its backplate with a T-type seal. Depending on the installation, this seal may be inaccessible after the meter is installed until you remove the device from the socket.
For switchboard models, the outer case can be sealed by a wire seal or lock inserted through the sealing point.
In certain countries the meter is no longer revenue certified if the anti-tamper seals are broken.
