Abstract
A base barrier for an electronic meter assembly including a base assembly having a plurality of wire leads extending therefrom and a revenue guard board for monitoring phases of a meter power supply. The base barrier includes a body configured for mounting to the base assembly and further configured for retaining the revenue guard board thereto. In her aspect, the base barrier includes at least one wire management member therein.
Claims24
A base barrier for an electronic meter assembly, the meter assembly including a base assembly having a plurality of wire leads extending therefrom and a revenue guard board for monitoring phases of a meter power supply, said base barrier comprising a body mounted directly to the base assembly and configured for retaining the revenue guard board thereto.
A base barrier for an electronic meter assembly, the meter assembly including a base assembly having a plurality of wire leads extending therefrom, said base barrier comprising a body mounted directly to the base assembly and at least one wire management member therein.
A meter comprising:
- a base assembly configured for measuring voltage and current;
- an electronics module comprising at least one printed circuit board and a microcomputer for executing meter data operations, and
- a base barrier coupled directly to said base assembly, said base barrier comprising a body fabricated from a nonconductive material, said base barrier positioned between said base assembly and said electronics module, said body comprising at least one wire management member therein.
A meter comprising:
- a base assembly configured for measuring voltage and current;
- an electronics module comprising at least one printed circuit board and a microcomputer for executing meter data operations,
- a revenue guard board coupled to said electronics module;
- a base baffler coupled directly to said base assembly, said base baffler comprising a body fabricated from a nonconductive material, said base baffler positioned between said base assembly and said electronics module, said revenue guard board mounted directly to said body.
A method for assembling a meter including a base assembly, an electronics module, a base baffler, and a revenue guard board, said method comprising the steps of:
- attaching the base baffler directly to the base assembly;
- mounting the revenue guard board directly to the base baffler;
- and
- attaching the electronics module to the base barrier such that the base barrier is positioned between the base assembly and the electronics module.
