CID-1
Customer Interface Device

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Click photo for larger view The CID-1 customer interface device is a low-cost, fused KYZ termination device. It provides two sets of K, Y, & Z connector terminals, one for connection to the meter's K, Y, and Z output terminals and the other for the utility customer's energy control system input terminals.

The CID-1 is available in several mounting configurations for use in a wide range of mounting schemes.

The CID-1's input and output circuit's terminal strips are "EURO" type connector strips. When the stripped wire has been correctly installed in the terminals "slot" no conductive parts are exposed on the surface of the terminal strip, thus allowing the user maximum protection from accidental electrical shock. Each lead of the CID-1 is individually fused to prevent damage to the meter or the customer's energy control system. In addition, a built-in "snubber" network is installed to suppress excessive transient voltages.

The CID-1 features a NEMA 3R PVC enclosure and offers excellent electrical insulation. A gasketed lid ensures that the circuit inside remains dry and clean.
