IDENTIFICATION

Each ORION pit endpoint can be identied using the unique numeric serial number located on a tag attached to the wire har-

ness. Each Badger Meter encoder is clearly identied on the face of the register with an assembly number, unit of measure

and meter model.

UNPACKING

Carefully remove the pre-wired ORION endpoint and encoder from the shipping carton and inspect the assembly for dam-

age. Retain the contents of the installation kit for use in mounting the endpoint in the eld.

The ORION endpoint (see Figure 2) can be shipped pre-wired to the Badger Meter encoder. When the factory pre-wired,

there is no splicing required and only the mounting of the encoder with tightening of the TORX® seal screw is necessary.

When installing, excess wire should be coiled and cable tied to avoid any damage.

NETWORK Endpoint INSTALLATION

Badger Meter recommends that when installing an endpoint in a pit, the endpoint must be mounted either through or under

the lid of a non-metal pit lid for ecient propagation of the radio signal. If the endpoint is being installed indoors, a wired

radio endpoint should be mounted on the outside of the building or in the oor joist near the outside wall of the building,

and away from large metal objects for ecient propagation of the radio signal.
