Danger
Caution
This symbol indicates the presence of dangerous voltage within and outside the product enclosure
that may constitute a risk of electric shock, serious injury or death to persons if proper precautions
are not followed.
This symbol alerts the user to the presence of hazards that may cause minor or moderate injury to
persons, damage to property or damage to the device itself, if proper precautions are not followed.
Consult this document whenever this symbol is used on the meter, to determine the nature of the
potential hazard and any actions which need to be taken.
Note
This symbol directs the user’s attention to important installation, operating and maintenance
instructions.
Installation Considerations
Installation and maintenance of the ION 8800 meter should only be performed by qualified, competent personnel
that have appropriate training and experience with high voltage and current devices. The meter must be installed in
accordance with all local and national electrical codes.
If this equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection from electric shock, fire, etc.
provided by this equipment may be impaired.
DANGER
Failure to observe the following instructions may result in severe injury or death.
‹During normal operation of the ION 8800 meter, hazardous voltages are present on its connector pins,
and throughout the connected potential transformer (PT), current transformer (CT), direct connect without
PTs, digital (status) input, control power and external I/O circuits. PT and CT secondary circuits are capable
of generating lethal voltages and currents with their primary circuit energized. Follow standard safety pre-
cautions while performing any installation or service work (i.e. removing PT fuses, shorting CT
secondaries, etc).
‹Do not use digital output devices for primary protection functions. These include applications where the
devices perform energy limiting functions or provide protection of people from injury. Do not use the ION
8800 in situations where failure of the devices can cause injury or death, or cause sufficient energy to be
released that can start a fire. The meter can be used for secondary protection functions.
‹The ION 8800 meter’s chassis ground must be properly connected to a good earth ground for safety, and
for the noise and surge protection circuitry to function correctly. Failure to do so will void the warranty, and
create a risk of electric shock, injury or death.
‹When installing the meter, all voltage paths (measurement voltage and all auxiliary circuits such as the
power supply and the tariff control voltage) must be fused according to applicable local safety standards.
CAUTION
Observe the following instructions, or permanent damage to the meter may occur.
‹The ION 8800 meter offers a range of hardware options that affect input ratings. The ION 8800 meter’s
serial number label lists all equipped options. Applying current levels incompatible with the current inputs
will permanently damage the meter. This document provides installation instructions applicable to each
hardware option.
‹Do not HIPOT/Dielectric test the digital (status) inputs, digital outputs, power supply terminals or commu-
nications terminals. Refer to the label on the ION 8800 meter for the maximum voltage level the device
can withstand.
‹Replacing the meter battery with the wrong type or voltage rating could result in damage to the meter. Use
only a lithium LiSOCl battery with a rated voltage of 3.6 V, and the same construction as the original
2
battery, as a replacement.

Network Compatibility Notice for the Internal Modem
The internal modem in meters equipped with this option is compatible with the telephone systems of most countries
in the world. Use in some countries may require modification of the internal modem’s initialization strings. If problems
using the modem on your phone system occur, please contact Schneider Electric Technical Support.

Step 1: Mount the Meter
Meter Battery Considerations
The meter’s battery life expectancy depends on both temperature and the
amount of time the meter is without power. For typical installations, the
battery should last 10 years minimum at 25ºC meter ambient operating
temperature. The battery is field replaceable (see “Replacing the Battery” on

DANGER
Do not power up the meter until the ground terminal is connected -- risk of
electric shock.
1. Connect the ground terminal on the rear of the meter to a good earth
ground on the rack, using a 3.3 mm2 (12 AWG) wire. Ensure that the
terminal nut is tightened down securely onto the ground wire. The wire
must be a minimum of 30 cm long (11.8”) to allow racking and
unracking.

2. Slide the meter into the DIN standard 43862 rack (half-width 19 inch/
482.6 mm rack with plug-in Essailec connector).

Step 8: Verify Meter Operation
Three LEDs on the left-hand side of the Front Panel indicate the following:
Alarm (red) Top LED is user programmable; by default, it flashes to indicate
serious meter faults. Contact Technical Support if this occurs.
Indicator (green) Middle LED is user programmable.
Power (green) Bottom LED indicates the meter is powered. The light should
always remain on when the meter is in service.
Phasor Diagrams
You can also view the meter’s phasor diagram in real time. Use the Phasor
Viewer available in ION Setup v2.1 and later (free to download from the
website) to verify your meter’s wiring. See the ION Setup online help for
details.

Replacing the Battery
The battery in the ION8800 meter keeps the real time clock running when
supply power is lost. Replace the battery if the meter has been stored for an
extended period of time without power (longer than two years). If the meter
will be without power for an extended length of time, disconnect the battery
cable so that the battery maintains its 10-year shelf life.

NOTE
Replacing the battery on an unpowered meter resets the internal clock and
may affect revenue parameters.
To replace the battery
1. To prevent electrostatic damage to the unit, make sure you are
grounded or wear an anti-static wrist strap during this procedure.
2. Open the front cover of the meter.
3. Remove the Phillips screw that holds the battery cover in place and
remove the battery cover.
4. Remove the battery from the housing and disconnect the battery
connector from the meter.

Meter Security
Security features depend on the meter ordering options. See below.
All ION8800 meters
Standard security includes traditional anti-tamper mechanical sealing points
on the meter case and cover.
ION8800 meters with Hardware Locked Security Option
Standard security plus a hardware-locked security system that prevents
modification of revenue quantities after the meter is sealed.
Hardware Locked Security Option
To make configuration changes to billing parameters on a hardware-locked
meter, you must first unlock the meter. The Meter Lock setting is located in the
ALT Config menu, which is reached by pressing the ALT Config button under
button cannot be activated remotely with a Hardware Lock meter.
Typical values that are protected include:
‹
‹
‹
‹
kWh, kvarh, kVAh delivered, received, del-rec, del+rec.
kW, kvar, kVA and Sliding Window demand min and max values.
Digital Outputs controlling the energy pulsing applications.
All Power system settings, including PT and CT ratios.
For a complete list of locked values specific to your meter and its firmware,
contact Technical Support.
Anti-Tamper Sealing Methods
The ION8800 meter uses the following anti-tamper sealing methods.

The meter incorporates sealing bars and chassis screws with through-holes,
through which traditional lead/wire seals can be inserted. When utilized,
these lead/wire seals effectively prevent unauthorized personnel from
gaining access to meter internals or to buttons under the cover.
These seals are installed as follows:
1. Insert the sealing wire through both the screw hole and sealing bar.
