    CHAPTER 1: MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

    .

    InstallationTo install the EPM 4600 Unit:

    1. Mount the unit against any firm, flat surface. 2. Use a #10 screw in each of the four slots on the flange to ensure

    that the EPM 4600 unit is installed securely. IMPORTANT! For safety reasons, mount the EPM 4600 unit in an enclosed and protected environment, such as in a switchgear cabinet.

    Metering System Configuration

    Connecting the EPM 4600To configure the EPM 4600 Metering System:

    1. Connect to the EPM 4600 unit through its USB port:Use a USB Type A to B plug to connect from your PC’s USB port to the EPM 4600 unit’s USB port. If your PC doesn’t automatically find the USB driver, download it from the product CD that came with the EPM 4600 unit (see Chapter 11 in the EPM 4600 Metering System Installation and Operation Manual on the CD).NOTE: The EPM 4600 Quickstart guide shows connection using the USB port. For Ethernet/Wifi or RS485 connection, see the EPM 4600 Instruction Manual.
