IDENTIFICATION

The Badger Meter Gas Recordall® Transmitter (Gas-RT) is available in two configurations: Clockwise Operation (CW) and Counterclockwise Operation (CCW), as identified on the frame (looking toward the index), with the markings CW or CCW for both configurations. The Gas-RT should be installed so that the wire port is at the lower edge. See Figure 1.

Red/Black: Used with TRACE® Remote and Pit Transponders, Itron® ERT® Remote and Pit Transponders, and ORION® Pit and Remote Transponders.

The Gas-RT is available for a wide variety of gas meters. See "Gas-RT Application Data" on page 6 for the correct unit.

Before proceeding with installation, be certain the meter type conforms to the rotation for your Gas-RT and the proper Gas-RT configuration, indicated above, has been supplied for the application.

INSTALLING GASRT ON INDEX COVER

1. Using the transmitter mounting hole pattern and matching your index cover, locate the correct hole centers with the appropriate transfer punch. Drill each hole with the Vari-Bit and remove all chips and burrs from the holes before proceeding. See Figure 2

Figure 2: Mounting hole pattern

2. Mount the Gas-RT on the index cover using the TORX screws provided and reinstall the index cover on the meter. Operate the meter and observe the Gas-RT to ensure that no binding is occurring. See Figure 3.

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.

6. Test the entire installation including the Gas-RT and remote unit in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

7. Carefully fold the wires and splices to t and then slide the Gas-RT cover into place until it snaps.

OTE:N The cover is designed for tamper protection and cannot be removed without damage. To remove the cover, press the

blade of a screwdriver into the indention in the cover; doing so releases the hatch.
