WIRING GASRT
1. Feed the two-conductor shielded transmitter wires (Belden 9802) through the hole in the housing.
2. Strip approximately 1-1/2 inch of outer insulation sheath from the cable using the 59989-001 Coax Stripping Tool. Use
caution removing the outer sheath so that the inner signal wire insulation is not damaged. See Figure 4.

3. Locate the bare conductor (shield drain) and cut it o ush with the end of the outer sheath. This is a "oating ground" and
should never be terminated at the transmitter. Unwrap and remove the foil shield ush with the end of the outer sheath.
4. Place a strain relief clamp on the wire and secure it onto the outer sheath, approximately 1/8 inch from the end, by
crimping each "ear" alternatively with the wire cutting pliers. See Figure 5.

5. Connect the Gas-RT conductors to the remote cable conductors using the installation displacement gel-lled splices
(59761-001) provided in the installation kit. Crimp the splices carefully and completely using a parallel jaw crimper, such as
the Badger Meter crimper (59983-001). Polarity must be observed when connecting the Gas-RT to the remote. The black
conductor of the Gas-RT is to be terminated to the negative (–) conductor. See Figure 6.
