Important notes
This instruction is part of the documentation for the LZQJ-XC. All versi-
ons of the LZQJ-XC are described in this instruction. Therefore charac-
teristic features may be described, which are not valid for your device.
For further information about the LZQJ-XC refer to the
product manual. Pay attention to all component accompa-
nying documents when operating the LZQJ-XC.
Target group
This instruction is inteded for technicians who are responsible for
installation, connection and maintenance of the device. The devices
have to be installed and put into operation only by qualified electricians
in accordance with generally accepted rules of technology and the re-
gulations, which are relevant for the installation of telecommunications
equipment and end devices.
Intended use
The meter has to be used for measuring electrical energy only and has
to operate within the specified values (refer to nameplate). The meter
has to be used only for the transmission of measurement data using
approved measuring devices in accordance with the technical descripti-
on and after proper installation.
Maintenance and warranty information
The devices are maintenance-free. In case of damage (e. g. due to
transportation, storage) no repairs may be carried out independently.
Opening of the meter invalidates any warranty claim. The same applies
for any defect caused by external influences (e. g. lightning, water, fire,
extreme temperatures and weather conditions) and any inappropriate or
improper use or handling.
Only authorised personnel are allowed to break the sealing!

8. The tariff information shows the currently active energy tariff or
the maximum tariff.
9. The symbol for the clock control shows if the tariff control of the
meter is controlled by the internal clock.
10. The symbol for the data read-out appears when date is send to the
meter or when the meter sends data to the PC.
11. The symbol for setting/parameterisation is active when values are
changed in the set mode.
12. The DCF status symbol shows the current status of the DCF77
antenna:

synchronised with the DCF77 receiver
13. If the meter is equipped with a ripple control receiver, this is indi
cated by a flashing R. When this symbol is continuously active, the
meter receives a ripple control signal.

 DANGER!
Contact of parts under voltage is life endangering!
When installing or changing the meter, the conductor to which the
meter is connected must be de-energized.
• Remove the relevant back-up fuses and store them in such a way
that other people cannot refit the back-up fuses unnoticed.
• If you use selective circuit breakers for disconnection from the
mains, secure them against being switched on again unnoticed.
• Do not use the internal cut-off relay as a switch-disconnector to
disconnect electrical installations from the mains.
• Only use the dedicated screw terminals for installation and con-
nection of the meter.

DANGER!
Contact of parts under voltage is life endangering!
S0-inputs are not potential-free. The S0-inputs are, depending on the
voltage version, internally electrical connected to the measurement
connections or to the auxiliary voltage and therefore potential carrying.
• Observe the device-specific wiring diagram inside the terminal
cover.

DANGER!
Risk of danger to life due to electric arc and electric shock!
The voltage taps are not secured internally and directly connected to
the measuring-circuit voltage.
• Secure external devices, which are operated via the voltage taps
of the meter, with a back-up fuse of. ≤  0,5 A in accordance with
current technical guidelines.

11
 DANGER!
Risk of danger to life due to electric arc and electric shock!
The in- and outputs of the additonal terminals including the external
supply inputs are not secured internally.
• Secure the inputs/external supply inputs with a back-up fuse of.
≤  0,5 A according to current technical guidelines.
• Secure the outputs in compliance with the current date on the
nameplate of the meter in accordance with current technical
guidelines.

NOTICE!
Damage of the terminals due to excessive torque!
The appropriate torque depends on the type of the connection line
and on the maximum current.
• Tighten the terminals with the required torque according to
IEC 60999‑1.

a) Transformer connected meter

DANGER!
Contact of parts under voltage is life endangering!
• Protect meters with a transformer connection in the voltage circuit
with a back-up fuse of < 6 A.
• Secure the cuurent paths in compliance with the current date on
the nameplate of the meter in accordance with current technical
guidelines.

12
 DANGER!
Risk of danger to life due to high voltage when current transfor-
mers are interrupted!
The high voltage on the interrupted current transformer at the transfor-
mer connected meter is extremely dangerous and destroys the current
transformer.
• Short-circuit the secondary circuits of the current transformer at
the testing terminals before disconnecting the current path.

Terminal cover
To prevent unauthorized access to the terminals, the terminal cover is
mounted with sealing screws, which you can secure with seals.

NOTICE!
Property damage due to excessive torque!
• Tighten the sealing screws with a torque of 0,5 Nm.

Readout battery (optional)

The exchangable readout battery enables the reading of the display and
the readout of the meter via the optical data interface D0 when the me-
ter is not connected to the main voltage. Furthermore the battery buffers
the real-time clock. Therefore a Lithium battery (CR-P2, 6 V) is used.

CAUTION!
Danger of explosion due to improper handling of the exchangea-
ble battery!
Only authorised personnel are permitted to insert or replace the batte-
ry. Batteries may leak or ignite.
• Do not short-circuit, damage, heat or open force batteries.

At delivery the battery function is inactive. To activate the function, open

the module cover. Pull out the battery holder. Remove the battery from
the holder, Entnehmen Sie die Batterie aus der Halterung, turn the
battery and reinsert it. Then insert the battery holder into the battery
compartment (contacts facing left!) and close the moldule cover.
