Installation & Operation Manual
Now we follow the steps for setting the Odometer value. First, we must place the optical port over the endpoint’s LED and
perform the READ function.
Next, we must update the odometer value on the display. Use the backspace key to delete the current odometer value from
the Read step, and enter the desired odometer reading (12345).
Now touch on the Set Odometer button. Once the messages show that the communications between the optical port and
the endpoint have completed successfully, the endpoint holds the new odometer value.
To check the odometer value, place the optical port over the LED and perform the READ function again. You should see the
new odometer value of "12345" in the Odometer # field.
QUICK READ
The Trimble Ranger can be used to perform a number of functions other than reading meters.
• Read a Badger Meter ORION® endpoint whose meter reading you need for a special use (such as testing and trouble-
shooting, gathering a final meter reading, etc.)
• Interrogate a BadgerTouch® module or other touch module using a VersaProbe™
Some of these functions may be performed at customer sites while others may be performed in the meter shop. But they all
use the Quick Read function.
The Quick Read function allows you to read one meter at a time without having meters loaded into the handheld. The Quick
Read function can be performed for Badger Meter ORION endpoints and touch modules. The Trimble Ranger gathers the me-
ter reading and displays the result on the screen. The Trimble Ranger does not store the reading information and cannot
send any Quick Reads back to the Badger Meter Reading Data Management Software.
The most common uses of the Quick Read feature are:
• Gathering a final reading from a meter
• Reading a endpoint or module when troubleshooting or testing at a customer’s site
• Reading one or more endpoints or modules that are about to be installed at customer sites, to verify that they are
working correctly
• Testing a newly installed endpoint
• Performing meter testing at the meter shop
