Testing Wire Connections
It is recommended that you test all wiring connections to confirm connectivity and to verify the ORION endpoint reading
and the encoder reading are the same. The connections can be tested using the Quick Read function with either an
ORION handheld or mobile data collector. See the appropriate software manual, available at www.badgermeter.com, for
more information.
