Procedure
1. If you plan to run the coaxial cable in conduit, carefully cut the conduit to
the desired length to provide for proper assembly at the housing. A
junction box may be placed in the conduit run to provide a space for extra
coaxial cable length.
CAUTION!
The coaxial remote cable cannot be field terminated or cut to length. Coil
any extra coaxial cable with no less than a 2-in. (51 mm) radius.
2. Slide the conduit adapter or cable gland over the loose end of the coaxial
cable and fasten it to the adapter on the meter body support tube.
3. If using conduit, route the coaxial cable through the conduit.
4. Place a conduit adapter or cable gland over the end of the coaxial cable.
5. Remove the housing adapter from the electronics housing.
6. Slide the housing adapter over the coaxial cable.
7. Remove one of the four housing base screws.
8. Attach and securely tighten the coaxial cable nut to the connection on
the electronics housing.
9. Attach the coaxial cable ground wire to the housing via the housing base
ground screw.
10. Align the housing adapter with the housing and attach with two screws.
11. Tighten the conduit adapter or cable gland to the housing adapter.
CAUTION!
To prevent moisture from entering the coaxial cable connections, install
the interconnecting coaxial cable in a single dedicated conduit run or use
sealed cable glands at both ends of the cable.
