APPLICATION

Coupled with the E-Series® Ultrasonic meter or the Badger Meter

High Resolution Encoder (HR-E®), the BadgerTouch® Remote Module

is a complete electronically encoded close-proximity automated

meter reading system, specifically designed for single point remote

meter installations. BadgerTouch Remote Modules are supplied as

standalone modules for field connection to an E-Series® Ultrasonic

3 or 4 inch meter, or to an HR-E encoder with all Recordall® Disc,

Turbo, Compound, Combo, and Fire Series meters and assemblies.

Interrogation of the Remote Module displays the unique meter

serial number and the meter reading.

INSTALLATION

OTE: N Make sure to locate the corresponding Ultrasonic meter or

HR-E encoder (meter/encoder) for installation.

Unpacking

Carefully remove the BadgerTouch Remote Module (Figure 1) from

the shipping carton. Retain the contents of the installation kit for

connecting the meter/encoder.

Location

Choose an accessible outdoor location to install the BadgerTouch

Remote Module within the limits of the meter/encoder cable.

Remote Module Installation

Follow the steps in this section to:

• Connect the meter/encoder to the Remote Module.

• Mount the Remote Module. The Remote Module must be

securely mounted to a rigid surface. Avoid mounting on loose

siding of any type, as this may lead to wire breakage.

Figure 2: Remote Module connection

1. After choosing the location for installation, use the Remote

Module as a template to position the two mounting holes on

the outside of the building that houses the meter/encoder. The

Remote Module should be located within 75 feet maximum

wire distance of the meter/encoder using Belden 9770 wire.

Additional wire length and other wire types may

aect performance.

2. Drill a 3/16 inch wire entry hole in the building wall to

accommodate the meter/encoder cable. Cut the protective

gel cap o the end of the meter/encoder cable. Feed the cable

through the wall and then cut the cable to the proper length,

making sure you have sucient wire to make the connection to

the Remote Module.

When using rear access, allow approximately 8 inches of extra cable behind the Remote Module to facilitate making the wiring connections. If using the bottom or top access port for the cable, the thin plastic area of the outer shroud needs to be snapped off to expose the wire access port.
