GEL CAPS TO CONNECT AN ENCODER
For those connections that are not factory wired or equipped with in-line connectors, follow these guidelines for using gel
caps when splicing is required, either for installation or to fix a connection after a tamper

•
For pit environments, splice connections require a field splice kit (PNE: 62084-001), which can be ordered separately
Refer to the instructions found in the document, Field Splice Kit for Badger Meter AMR/AMI Products, available in the
Resource Library at
•
For all installations, excess wire should be coiled and cable tied to avoid any damage

Connecting an Encoder Using Gel Caps
Follow these steps when using Badger Meter supplied gel caps
1 To connect an encoder with existing wires to an ORION endpoint, strip approximately 1-1/2 inches (38 mm) of outer
insulation sheath from the encoder and endpoint cables using a coax wire stripping tool We recommend using the
Badger Meter Coax Wire Stripper (PNE: 59989-001)
USE CAUTION WHEN REMOVING THE OUTER SHEATH SO THAT THE INNER SIGNAL WIRE INSULATION IS NOT
NICKED OR DAMAGED.
2 Unwind the outer foil shield from the endpoint cable and cut it off even with the outer sheath using diagonal
cutting pliers
3 Connect the ORION endpoint to an approved encoder Verify the endpoint serial number prior to completing the
wiring setup
•
Connect the encoder cable wires to the ORION endpoint wires using the insulation gel caps provided in the
installation kit Refer to the chart on
to determine which wires need to be connected to complete
the installation
OTEE:

The terminal posts and wire colors may not match
DO NOT STRIP ANY INSULATION FROM THE ENDS OF THE WIRES BEFORE YOU PUSH THEM INTO THE
GEL CAP.
•
Insert the wires from each cable end as far as possible into the gel cap See
