Making Water Visible®
• Crimp the Gel-Connector using the Crimping Tool making sure
the "plunger" is fully seated (i.e. no visual gap between the "cap"
on the plunger and the shell of the Gel-Connector).
Gel-Connector in the
Crimping Tool
Proper crimp, "plunger"
is fully seated
• Inspect the Gel-Connector to ensure that the conductors did not
back out during crimping and that the Gel-Connector "plunger"
is fully seated.
Conductor is to the end
of the gel cap
“Plunger” is fully seated
Conductors are still all the way through to the end of the
Gel-Connector and the "plunger" is fully seated.
• Repeat this procedure for the remaining like color conductors.
PIT INSTALLATIONS
Insert the entire splice assembly into the filled splice tube
62085-001, as indicated in the figure below. Close the cover with
leads exiting alternate sides as indicated in the drawing.

ADE WITH TERMINAL SCREWS
OTEE: N The ADE with optional terminal screws is suitable for
indoor installation only.
The terminal screws are identified by the letters “R”, “B” and “G”
(standing for Red, Black and Green) molded into the screw cavity.
Strip approximately 1.5 inch of outer insulation sheath using the
59989-001 coax stripping tool. Use caution in removing the outer
sheath so that the inner wire insulation is not damaged.
Unwind the outer foil shield from the cable and cut it off even with
the outer sheath using the wire cutting pliers. Cut the un-insulated
shield drain wire even with the outer sheath using the wire
cutting pliers.
Strip approximately 0.5 inch of insulation from the inner wires
using the 59993-001 Wire Stripper. Use a screwdriver to loosen the
terminal screws sufficiently to allow the bare wire ends to fit below
the screw heads. Bend the bare wire ends into hook shapes that
will closely fit around the shafts of the terminal screws, and hold
the hooks around the screw shafts while tightening the screws
with the screwdriver. Do not overtighten screws. The hooks should
be oriented with the openings to the right, so that tightening the
screws (by turning to the right) will tend to draw the wire closer to
the screw.
Place plastic cable tie, 34776-001, approximately 0.25 inch from the
end of the outer insulation sheath. Tighten securely for strain relief.
Remove excess cable tie. Ensure that the cable exits the terminal
screw cavity via the opening on the right side of the cavity wall and
that the cable tie resides on the interior of terminal cover. Place the
cover over the terminal screw cavity and secure by tightening the
Torx screw.
TESTING
After connections are complete, test the entire installation including
the ADE, wiring and remote or pit module for proper operation in
accordance with the instructions supplied with the module.
Install the ADE on the water meter and secure it using the Torx
screw provided.
