Important Use an Itron-approved crimping tool to install gel connectors. Do not use a standard pliers.
The crimping tool provides an even-pressured crimp to ensure a secure connection between the wires.
Note Do not strip lead wire prior to inserting the wire into the gel connector.
Warning Crimping the connector forces some sealant out of the connector. The sealant protects the
inside of the connector against insects, moisture, and other contaminants. The sealant may cause minor
eye and skin irritation. Avoid eye contact. Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact. Contact Itron
Support for Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).
4. Insert the red wire from the lightning suppressor and the red wire from the 100T-CP into a gel connector.
Crimp the connector.
5. Insert the black wire from the lightning suppressor and the black wire from the 100T-CP into the
remaining gel connector. Crimp the connector.

Warning Allow six minutes for the 100T-CP to stabilize with the system before you check voltage level
and polarity.
