This equipment must only be installed and serviced by qualified electrical personnel.
Read, understand and follow the instructions before installing this product.
Turn off all power supplying equipment before working on or inside the equipment.
Any covers that may be displaced during the installation must be reinstalled before powering the
unit.
Use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm power is off.
DO NOT DEPEND ON THIS PRODUCT FOR VOLTAGE INDICATION
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
This product is not intended for life or safety applications.
Do not install this product in hazardous or classified locations.
The installer is responsible for conformance to all applicable codes.
Mount this product inside a suitable fire and electrical enclosure.
CAUTION
Safety Information

RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
This product is designed only for use with 0.33V output current transducers (CTs).
DO NOT USE CURRENT OUTPUT (e.g. 5A) CTs ON THIS PRODUCT.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in overheating and permanent equipment damage.
For use in a Pollution Degree 2 or better environment only. A Pollution Degree 2 environment must
control conductive pollution and the possibility of condensation or high humidity. Consider the
enclosure, the correct use of ventilation, thermal properties of the equipment, and the relationship
with the environment. Installation category: CAT II or CAT III
Provide a disconnect device to disconnect the meter from the supply source. Place this device in
close proximity to the equipment and within easy reach of the operator, and mark it as the
disconnecting device. The disconnecting device shall meet the relevant requirements of IEC 60947-1
and IEC 60947-3 and shall be suitable for the application. Disconnecting fuse holders can be used in
the USA and Canada. Provide overcurrent protection and disconnecting device for supply conductors
with approved current limiting devices suitable for protecting the wiring.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by
the device may be impaired.
This symbol indicates an electrical shock hazard exists.

Voltage Measurement and Power Wiring
BCM2-96xx series products are available with factory installed line cords
(PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT) or conduit knockouts and field wiring
terminals (PERMANENTLY CONNECTED EQUIPMENT).
This section describes how to wire models with conduit knockouts and
field wiring terminals. Models with factory installed line cords are not
end user wired and must not be opened or modified.
There are two conduit knockouts on the rear panel – one for voltage
inputs (voltages that are measured), the other for power (power to run
the product). In most cases, only voltage inputs are wired because power
can be derived from the voltage inputs (see jumpers in figure).
Product power is taken from the voltage inputs using two jumpers. A
separate circuit can be used for power which insures BCM2 continues to
operate when voltages inputs fail. A separate power circuit MUST be
used if the voltage inputs exceed power rating (90-240VAC). When using
a separate circuit, remove factory jumpers and wire circuit to the power
L1 and L2 terminals.
A
Terminals accept 14-18
AWG solid or stranded wire.
Use ring terminals on
stranded wire. Use wire
rated 75°C or higher.
B
Jumpers power unit from
voltage inputs. Move or
remove as necessary.
C
Connect ground wires to
stud.
D
Verify circuit voltages
match product ratings.
E
½ and ¾ conduit fitting
knockouts
