IDENTIFICATION
Badger Meter BadgerTouch Pit Modules are available in a single
module configuration for easy adaptation to the complete Badger
Recordall® Disc, Turbo, Compound, Combo and Fire Series meters
and. The single pit design offers a factory prewired BadgerTouch
module to the High Resolution Encoder (HRE) Absolute Digital
Encoder (ADE®).
Each HRE or ADE is clearly identified on the face of the dial with an
assembly number, unit of measure and meter model number. The
BadgerTouch Pit Module does not contain an identification number.
The HRE or ADE encoder contains a unique identification number.
The number is shown on the underside of the register cover.
Interrogation of the HRE or ADE will display the ID number and the
meter reading.
INSTALLATION
Unpacking
Carefully remove the prewired BadgerTouch Pit Module and
encoder(s) 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.

odule Installation
The BadgerTouch Pit Module (see Figure 1) is shipped prewired
to the encoder for single pit configurations. Due to the factory
prewired shipment, there is no splicing required. To prepare for the
Pit Module installation, first disassemble the two locking nuts of
the Pit Module and remove the coil assembly. From the top of the
pit lid, insert the “mushroom” pit module holder through the pit lid.
Tighten the pit module locking nut so that the module holder fits
snugly against the pit lid. Then insert the coil assembly, which is
connected to the HRE or ADE lead wire, into the Pit Module holder,
and then tighten its locking nut so that the coil assembly is fully
seated in the top of the holder. Excess wire should be coiled up
inside the pit and cable tied to avoid any damage.

Install the encoder on the water meter and secure it with the seal
screw provided.
TESTING
Once the BadgerTouch Pit Module is secured through the pit
lid and the encoder 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. A VersaProbe or
other equivalent reading device should be used for interrogation of
the installed BadgerTouch modules.
