Installation Manual

3. Access the Remote Module with the meter/encoder cable from
the rear, or through a bottom or top access port. When using
rear access, allow approximately 8 inches of extra cable behind
the Remote Module to facilitate making the wiring connections.
If using the bottom or top access port for the cable, the thin
plastic area of the outer shroud needs to be snapped o to
expose the wire access port. Use a small wire cutting pliers to
snap the plastic.
4. Strip-back about 1 inch of the outer insulation of the cable to
expose the wires, being careful not to nick the inner conductors.
Strip about 3/4 inch of insulation from the red and black wires.
The green wire is not used and can be cut o.
5. Place the two plastic cable ties on the outer insulation of the
eld wire. Tighten securely and remove the excess cable tie with
the wire cutting pliers. 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 pulled.

6. Tightly wrap one bare wire around one of the Remote Module
terminal screws in a clockwise direction. (NOTE: You can connect
the red or black wire on either terminal since the device is not
polarity sensitive.) Tighten the terminal screw to rmly grip
the wire between the screw head and terminal. Repeat this
procedure with the other wire and the other terminal screw. Cut
o excess bare wire ends.
7. If the Remote Module is to be installed in a wet or humid
environment, coat the terminals and exposed wires 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 aect the performance and reliability of the
BadgerTouch system.
8. Fasten the Remote Module to the structure using the mounting
hardware provided. If you used the top or bottom access ports
for the meter/encoder cable, fasten any exposed eld 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
eld wiring.
TESTING
After the connections have been made from the Remote Module to
the remote cable and from the remote cable to the meter/encoder,
test the BadgerTouch remote system.
To perform the test, a compatible device capable of reading
BadgerTouch or Industry Standard ASCII protocol can be used. Place
the reading device on the Remote Module to collect the meter
reading. The reading should correspond to the reading on the meter
odometer stack.
