Strip-back about 1 inch of the outer insulation of the HRE or ADE
cable, being careful not to nick the inner conductors. Strip about
3/4" of insulation from the red and black wires; the green wire is not
used and can be cut off.
The two cable ties act as strain relief, as shown in Figure 3, to
eliminate the possibility of breaking the wire connection at the
terminals if the wire is accidentally pulled. Place the two plastic
cable ties on the outer insulation of the field wire. Tighten securely
and remove the excess cable tie with the wire cutting pliers.
Figure 3: Strain Relief Detail
Tightly wrap one bare wire around one of the terminal screws in
a clockwise direction. (Note: you can place either wire on either
terminal since the device is not polarity sensitive). The terminal
screw should then be tightened to firmly grip the wire between the
screw head and terminal. Repeat this procedure with the other wire
and the other terminal screw. Excess bare wire ends should be cut
off.
If the Remote Module is to be installed in a wet or humid
environment, the terminals and exposed wires must be coated with
an approved electrical insulating compound, such as GE RTV-162
Adhesive Sealant Dow Corning® 4 Electrical Insulating Compound or
Novagard® G661. These compounds protect the terminals and wires
against corrosion which otherwise might affect the performance
and reliability of the BadgerTouch system.
Fasten the Remote Module to the structure using the mounting
hardware that is provided. The module must be securely mounted
to a rigid surface; avoid mounting on loose siding or any type,
as this may lead to wire breakage. Fasten the field wiring to the
building structure and/or existing piping to assure a secure
installation. Use standard fasteners or cable ties. If staples are used,
be careful not to nick or cut into the outer insulation of the field
wiring.
If Additional Wire Length is Required
The HRE and ADE is supplied with a pre-determined length of wire.
Should an additional length of wire be required, it is important
to follow the instructions that are supplied with the HRE or ADE
regarding splicing. Use Belden 9770 wire. Before proceeding with
the installation, be certain that the appropriate field splice kit and
gel splice crimping tool are available to assure proper installation
and that electrical connections are secure and weather resistant.
TESTING
After all connections have been made from the remote module to
the remote cable and from the remote cable to the HRE or ADE, the
testing of the complete BadgerTouch remote system can begin. To
perform the test, a compatible reading device capable of reading
Badger HRE, ADE or Sensus protocol can be used. The reading unit
should be placed on the remote module and the meter reading
collected. This should correspond to the reading on the meter
odometer stack.
