Figure 2: Metal Lid endpoint through pit lid
To install the endpoint, follow these steps and refer to Figure 2.
OTE:N If the lock nut is preattached to the endpoint tube, unscrew and remove it before inserting the endpoint and
cable into the pit lid opening.
1. Insert the endpoint tube with the cable through the pit lid opening, so the endpoint cap is resting on the pit lid.
2. Feed the endpoint cable through the lock nut.
3. Screw the lock nut onto the endpoint tube—all the way up—until it meets the bottom of the pit lid.
4. Tighten the nut against the bottom of the pit lid until secure.
5. Connect the encoder to the endpoint using the proper method – 308 connector, Nicor connector or eld splice – to
complete the installation.
OTE:N The Metal Lid endpoint is not intended for non-metal, under-the-lid or remote installation.
OTE:N Refer to the ORION Water Endpoint Parts List, available at www.badgermeter.com for individual endpoint kit
components.
