Use caution in removing the outersheath so that the inner signal wire insulation is not damaged.Unwind the outer foil shield from the RTR cable and cut it off even withthe outer sheath using the wire cutting pliers.To connect an Remote ORION module to a Badger register with abrown-insulated cable, connect as follows:• Red to red• Green to green• Black to black• Shield to whiteThis configuration supports the cut cable feature (Badger registerequipped with a black-insulated cable does not support cut cable.)Verify the RTR has a brown cable and contains a label with "IT/OR"for ORION Installation. Connect the RTR conductors to the AMRmodule conductors using insulation gel connectors P/N 59761-001.Crimp the cables completely using a parallel jaw crimper such asBadger Meter P/N 59983-001.Model RTR®Recordall® Transmitter RegisterRemote ORION® 3-WireRTR-I-35P/N XXXXX-XXX5-02Shield to WhiteChanges and modifications to this product that are not ex-pressly approved by Badger Meter, Inc. will void your authorityto operate the equipment as originally approved by the FederalCommunication Commission (FCC.)
