Warning
Even though circuits have been turned off and are not under load, conductors may still be live. Wear all electrical PPE as defined in Required Tools.
  1. Hold the meter up to the Backup Switch to inspect the alignment of the meter blades to the Backup Switch jaws. If the meter blades do not align with the Backup Switch jaws, replace either the Backup Switch or the meter before moving forward.
  2. Align the meter with the Backup Switch, and push it onto the Backup Switch.
  3. Install the sealing ring over the meter.

    Note
    Ensure the sealing ring is oriented such that the FRONT arrow etched into the ring faces toward the meter, and not the panel. The front wall of the sealing ring is shallower than the rear wall to match the profile of the meter; thus, the sealing ring cannot be installed if it is not oriented correctly.

    Note
    Tesla recommends installing a zip-tie or similar locking means on the sealing ring(s) to discourage tampering with Backup Switch.
Inspect the Backup Switch Installation

Perform a pull test to ensure the Backup Switch feels secure in the meter socket. If the Backup Switch does not feel secure, contact installation support or your supervisor.
