Determining Load Disconnect and Relay State
without Line Power
The meter’s load disconnect contactor and control relay open or closed state cannot be
visually determined before line power is supplied to the meter. When in the closed state,
power will be delivered to the load when line power is supplied to the meter.
Determining Load Disconnect State
To determine if the meter load disconnect contactor is in the open or closed state when
power is not supplied to the meter, follow this procedure:
1. Set a multi-meter to continuity test mode or use a continuity tester.
2. Connect one continuity test probe to L1 line-in terminal and one probe to L1 load
terminal.
3. If there is NO continuity in the signal path the disconnect is Open (Off). If there
IS continuity in the signal path the disconnect is Closed (On).
Determining Control Relay State
To determine if the control relay is in the open or closed state when power is not
supplied to the meter, follow this procedure:
1. Set a multi-meter to continuity test mode or use a continuity tester.
2. Connect the continuity test probes to the two control relay wires.
3. If there is NO continuity in the signal path the control relay is Open (Off). If
there IS continuity in the signal path the control relay is Closed (On).
