ORION® SE II Network Gateway Transceiver
AC Power
Badger Meter provides an AC-to-DC power supply with cord (PN: 66528-002) that plugs into a standard three-prong
120V AC outlet.
Figure 27: 120V AC power supply with power cord
OTE:N If you are powering the gateway directly via DC power, refer to "GPRS or LAN with DC Power Source" on page 20 .
Lightning Arrestors
Lightning arrestors are recommended for all standard and
remote antenna installations. If lightning arrestors are
used, they should be placed directly between the gateway
enclosure and the antenna cable connector and grounded
per code. One lightning arrestor is shown in Figure 28. Arrows
indicate where other lightning arrestors should be attached.
Lightning arrestors for both the TX/RX antennas as well as
the GPRS backhaul antenna (if applicable), should meet the
following specifications:
• Operating bandwidth: 800…2400 MHz
• Impedance: 50 ohms
• Power handling (average): 2 watts, minimum
• Environmental/weather rating suitable for
the location
• N male connector on the protected side;
N female connector on the surge side

should be attached.
