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.
