Badger Meter Inc 2017OCEV5INTL Manual De Usuario

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  
Refer to the wiring charts on 

 

• 

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

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)  

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  

The terminal posts and wire colors may not match 

• 

Insert the wires from each cable end as far as possible into the gel cap  See
