Appendix C Completing Gel-cap Connections
Using the Itron Splice Kit
Caution: OpenWay Riva module wire terminations must be properly sealed with a
non-conductive gel material to prevent water intrusion.
Required materials
• E-9R 3M® gel connector crimping tool (or other 3M approved crimping tool)
• Itron splice kit (part number OEM-0034-002)
1. Push two wires as far as possible into the connector.
Caution:
Do not strip insulation from the ends of the wires before inserting them
into the connector.
2. Carefully place the connector and wires into the jaws of the crimping tool. Make sure the
wires remain fully inserted in the gel-cap connector.
3. Crimp the connector by squeezing the handles until the connector cap is fully seated.
Continue to apply pressure for three seconds.
4. A connector is crimped properly when the top of the movable yellow center (1) is flush
with the top of the connector body (2).
