into the jaws of the crimping tool.
Figure 59: Gel cap in crimping tool
• Crimp the gel cap by squeezing the crimping tool handles until the gel cap is completely compressed. The
Badger Meter Parallel Pliers is designed to apply just enough pressure to crimp the gel cap. Apply pressure for
three seconds.
Figure 60: Compress the gel cap
• Repeat the crimping procedure for the remaining gel caps and wires.

refer to the Field Splice Kit Application Data Sheet provided with the kit.
Testing Wire Connections
Test all wiring connections to confirm connectivity, and to verify the ORION endpoint reading and the encoder reading are the
same. The connections can be tested using the Quick Read function with either an ORION handheld or mobile data collector.
