Cleaning instructions

Your meter is rated for Pollution Degree 2: Normally, only non-conductive pollution occurs. Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused by condensation may be expected.

You should periodically inspect and clean your meter. Non-conductive pollution could negatively impact the meter by impeding air flow and cooling. Abrasive contaminants can reduce the meter lifespan.

NOTE: The meter is rated as IP30 (not protected from liquids.) The front of the meter display is rated as IP54 (dust and water resistant) or IP65 (dust and water proof.) To review your meter's display specifications, see Display.

Prerequisites:

  • Turn off all power supplying the device before cleaning it.

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR ARC FLASH

  • Apply appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and follow safe electrical work practices. See NFPA 70E, CSA Z462 or other local standards.
  • Turn off all power supplying this device and the equipment in which it is installed before working on or in the equipment.
  • Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm that all power is off.
  • Do not use the data from the meter to confirm power is off.
  • Do not short secondary terminals of Voltage Transformer (VT).
  • Do not open secondary terminals of Current Transformer (CT).
  • Secure CT or Low Power Current Transformers (LPCT) secondary conductors to ensure they do not contact live circuits.
  • Assume communications and I/O wiring are hazardous live until determined otherwise.
  • Replace all devices, doors and covers before turning on power to this equipment.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

To clean the meter and accessories: 

  • Use compressed air (up to 30 PSI or ~200 kPa) to remove non-conductive pollution from inside and around the meter or any of its accessories.
  • Clean meter surfaces using a cloth dampened with water. *

    • NOTE: Do not allow liquids to enter the device through ventilation slots, connectors, or other openings.

  • If you are not certain about how to remove abrasive contaminants from the meter or its accessories, contact Support or your Schneider Electric representative. Improperly removing contaminants and pollution may void the warranty.

To clean the display:

  • Wipe the display using a cloth dampened with water. *

* You can use 70% isopropyl alcohol instead of water if absolutely necessary. Cleaning the device too frequently with isopropyl alcohol could damage the printing on labels and buttons. If you are concerned about the risk of infection from touching surfaces, wear gloves or use hand sanitizer afterward.
