Installation:
1. The tip of the stainless steel mounting screw
is shaped to remove the paint at the point of
contact, thus ensuring positive metal-to-metal
contact with the top of the meter panel. (Always
ensure that the bonding surface is cleaned of
excess paint or rust before mounting the SC51-
1 connector.) For heavily corrosive or marine
environments. use of “RTV” silicone sealer is
recommended at the contact point, between the
screw tip and the top of the meter pan.
2. Back the bolt and nut from the connector enough
to allow it to mount on one of the corner folds of
the metal meter pan back corners.
3. Install the connector with the bottom edges
gripping on the bottom fold of the fixed top
cover of the metal meter pan. Under no
circumstances is the bonding connector to be
mounted on the front cover or any movable
part of the metal meter pan. Tighten the bolt
securely by applying sufficient torque (20 inch
pound) to ensure a firm and positive connection
on the metal meter pan.
4. Remove one inch of insulation from copper
ground wire, use caution to avoid scoring or
damaging ground wire. Insert grounding wire
between washer and grounding nut. Wrap ground
wire clockwise between washer and ground nut.
Insure that slot in grounding washer is aligned
with ground wire. Tighten grounding nut with
CNW6 tool to secure ground wire. Do not over
tighten. Double check that the grounding bolt is
still firmly tight on the metal meter pan enclosure.
If not, tighten it one quarter turn.
Recommended for usage when no other
approved grounding electrode is accessible.
