4. Construction
4.1 Type Designation and Identification
Each meter shall be designated by type and given a serial number by the MANUFACTURER. The serial number type designation and the District's meter number (District meter number sequence to be supplied by the District) shall be legibly marked on the nameplate of each meter in numbers at least 1/4 inch high. Meter nameplate to have “Snohomish PUD No. 1” imprinted above or to the left of the meter number.
4.2 Registers
Each watthour meter shall be provided with a five digit to the left of the decimal, 0 to the right solid state LCD type display. The display digits for visual reading of measured quantities shall be no less than 0.375 inches high.
4.3 Cover
The cover shall be constructed of UV resistant polycarbonate plastic and shall be dust-proof and raintight for outdoor installations. The cover shall be easily removed after the removal of the T-type seal. Covers that are attached by screws, bolts, or other permanent type devices are not acceptable.
4.4 Sealing
The cover shall be sealed to the watthour meter base by means of a T-type seal. These seals shall be located and installed so as to prevent unauthorized tampering with the meters’ internal components.
