3 Precautions and Safety Practices
1. Energy meters are generally installed in electrically live surroundings. To minimise the risk of electrical
shock, stay away from loose or exposed electrical connections. If there is loose or exposed electrical wiring
near the installation site, initiate appropriate preventive measures.
2. Check for the wiring configuration of the meter and ensure that the meter is installed for the appropriate
wiring connection.
3. Before energizing the meter, ensure that no stray strands of wire are present outside the connector blocks.
4. Meter must be protected by fuses or voltage isolating links in each voltage circuit.
5. Under no circumstances should the current transformer (CT) connections to the meter be disconnected
while current is flowing in the primary circuit of the external CT.
6. Ensure that the connected load does not exceed the current range specified on the rating plate.
7. The meter contains a battery that must be disposed of in a suitable manner at the end of its life.
8. Secure Meters recommends carrying out regular installation checks, especially when the product is installed
at locations posing higher risk of degradation or corrosion – such as under direct, strong sunlight, areas with
high ambient temperature and little ventilation, areas near heat sources like a furnace, areas near sea or a
water body, areas where the meter is regularly exposed to chemical fumes, etc.
9. It is recommended to immediately cut off the meter supply upon occurrence of any fault within the meter.
10. Keep the meter away from fire, corrosive chemicals, and fumes thereof, rain and direct, prolonged exposure
to water.
11. The electrical installation of electronic meters at a site requires an adequate understanding of all governing
rules and regulations.

6 Introduction
Premier 300 is a DLMS (Indian standard) compliant, CT operated meter with CT/VT and LTCT variants that
offer numerous features, which make it ideal for industrial and commercial metering. It belongs to the latest cost
optimised product range and provides easy integration with diverse communication entities thus making it truly
interoperable.
The salient features of Premier 300 are:
CT-PT operated family includes 3-phase 3-wire, 3-phase 4-wire measurements for industrial and
commercial metering
Accuracy with class 0.2s and 0.5s for HT and 0.5s for LT variants
DLMS compliant as per Indian companion standard (IS15959)
True four quadrant measurement of active, reactive and apparent energies
Suitable energy selection for both Import-Export as well as forwarded metering application
Load Survey recording for a minimum of -700 parameter-days(LT) and 900 parameter –days(HT) with
15/30/60 minute SIP
Up to 8 time-of-day (TOD) rate registers
Up to 8 maximum demand (MD) registers for logging demand through fixed and sliding window
methods (with 15/30/60 DIP)
1107 optical communication port
Optional RJ-11 port for remote communication with external devices on RS-232 or RS485 at 9600 bps
Optically isolated communication channel and battery backup to allow limited no. of meter readings and
display checking even in absence of mains
Detection and logging of a whole spectrum of tampers and faults, with date and time stamp
Fraud detection facility
Two metro LEDs –the left one indicates the rate of active energy consumption, the right one can be
configured to indicate other energies.
Wide nominal operating voltage range
Spark immunity up to 35 kV
Logging of extensive energy and instantaneous parameters which include phase wise voltages and
currents, power, frequency, maximum demand, power factor along with date and time stamp
Large backlit LCD display with phase indicators, parameter identification and legends for tamper
indication.
