This section provides the instructions to complete remote module to meter wiring connections.
Gel-cap connections require:

3M gel-cap connectors (Itron part number CON-0023-001)
1. Push the two wires into the connector as far as possible.
Caution: Do not strip insulation from
the ends of the wires before inserting
them into the connector.
2. Place the connector and connector wires into the jaws of the
crimping tool. Ensure that the wires remain fully inserted in the
connector.
3. Squeeze the handles to crimp the connector. Apply pressure
until the cap is fully seated (at least three seconds).
