Installing the Module Cable Strain Relief
After you complete the Cellular 500W remote module to register connections, install a cable tie
to the meter cable just below the exposed colored lead wires on the cable insulation. The cable
tie provides a cable strain relief to reduce the risk of destructive tension on the lead wires.
These materials are required to install the cable strain relief:
■
Remote mount kit
■
CFG-1300-003, dual cable ports for register connection and telemetry device connection
■
Side cutter pliers
■
Gel connector crimping tool
■
Cable tie gun
■
Torx T-15 screwdriver
Securing the Cable Strain Relief
1. Wrap the cable tie around the meter register or secondary connection cable.
