IDENTIFICATION
Badger Meter BadgerTouch Pit Modules are available in a single
module configuration for easy adaptation to the complete Badger
Recordall
®
Disc, Turbo Series, and Compound meter lines. The single
pit design offers a factory prewired BadgerTouch module to the
Absolute Digital Encoder (ADE™).
Each BadgerTouch Pit Module can be identified using the eight-digit
unique identification number located on the underside of the ADE lid.
Each ADE is clearly identified on the face of the register with an
assembly number, unit of measure, and meter model number (see
figure 1).

UNPACKING

from the shipping carton and inspect the assembly for any damage.
Retain the contents of the installation kit for use in securing the Pit
Module to the pit lid cover.

LOCATION
To ensure proper operation of the BadgerTouch on-site meter reading
system, the BadgerTouch Pit Module should be mounted through a
predrilled hole in the pit lid. Minimum hole diameter required is 1 3/4".
The Pit Module contains electronic circuitry that is totally encapsulated
to enhance reliable performance in most locations, under most
conditions.
PIT MODULE INSTALLATION
The BadgerTouch Pit Module (see Figure 2) is shipped prewired to the
ADE for single pit configurations. Due to the factory prewired shipment,
there is no splicing required and only the mounting of the register with
tightening of the Torx seal screw is necessary. Excess wire should
be coiled up inside the pit and cable tied to avoid any damage.
ADE INSTALLATION
Install the ADE on the water meter and secure it using either the Torx
screw or standard seal screw provided.
TESTING
Once the BadgerTouch Pit Module is secured through the pit lid and
the ADE has been mounted on the water meter, the BadgerTouch
system is ready for operation. No specific testing is required at the
meter location regarding proper connections. Interrogation of each
module will ensure that proper coordination of meters, modules, and
account have occurred. The Symbol
®
Data Collector or other equiva-
lent reading device should be used for interrogation of the installed
BadgerTouch modules.
