Network Endpoint Installation
When installing an SE or ME (used with a network gateway transceiver) or CE (used with an ORION 4.0 or 2.0 gateway
receiver) endpoint in a pit, the endpoint must be mounted through the lid of a non-metal pit lid for maximum 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 maximum
propagation of the radio signal.
Splicing Considerations
For non-submerged indoor and outdoor applications where splicing is necessary, splice connections together and wrap any
cables inside the base of the housing.
Splice connections made in pit environments require a pit eld splice kit (62084-001), which can be ordered separately.
Please refer to RTR-I-15 for eld splice kit installation instructions.
ORION endpoints shipped factory pre-wired to a Badger Meter encoder require no splicing. Only the mounting of the
encoder to the meter and tightening the TORX® seal screw is necessary.
For all installations, excess wire should be coiled and cable tied to avoid any damage.
