All ORION remote endpoints are shipped from the factory unprogrammed.
ORION® Remote Endpoint for Gas Meters and Volume Correctors with Pulsed Outputs OVERVIEW OF AN ORION REMOTE ENDPOINT This manual describes installing an ORION remote endpoint and connecting it to a volume corrector such as a Mercury® corrector, a gas RT (Recordall® endpoint), or other pulsed device.
Installation Data ORION REMOTE ENDPOINT FOR GAS METERS AND VOLUME CORRECTORS WITH PULSED OUTPUTS ORION Remote Endpoint Assembly Clamp 3-¹/6" diameter Cable Strain Relief 4 Screws #8 -16 x 1" 2 Gel-Cap Connectors 1 Two-Wire 1 Three-Wire ENDPOINT DISASSEMBLY If necessary, the endpoint module can be removed from the ORION remote endpoint housing by holding the module bottom and unscrewing the top nut.
ORION® Remote Endpoint for Gas Meters and Volume Correctors with Pulsed Outputs Remove the endpoint module and wire. ORION Remote Endpoint Housing Top Nut ORION Remote Endpoint Module Wire The ORION remote endpoint module must be put back into the endpoint housing the same way it was taken out. The flat edge and rounded "bulge" on the module must go into the rounded part of the endpoint.
Installation Data PROCEDURES FOR MOUNTING THE ORION REMOTE ENDPOINT The ORION remote endpoint can be installed in any indoor or outdoor, non-submersible location. Placement For maximum efficiency the ORION remote endpoint should be placed between 36 and 72 inches off of the ground. 36" - 72" Orientation The ORION remote endpoint should be mounted in a vertical orientation with the open portion of the housing at the bottom.
ORION® Remote Endpoint for Gas Meters and Volume Correctors with Pulsed Outputs MOUNTING AN ORION REMOTE ENDPOINT TO A PIPE Insert the clamp through the appropriate slots on the rear of the ORION endpoint. It may be necessary to remove the endpoint from the housing to accomplish this. See pages 9-10. The clamp fits on a pipe up to 3 inches in diameter. A stainless steel clamp is recommended if a larger clamp is needed.
Installation Data Screw Holes and Screws Cable to Pulse Source Cable Strain Relief The holes are 0.19 inches in diameter. This allows a variety of other mounting hardware to be used. Alternative Bracket The ORION remote endpoint can also be mounted to an alternative bracket (not supplied). At least two mounting holes must be used to secure the endpoint to the bracket. After the ORION remote endpoint is mounted, connect the wire to the gas meter terminals or to the gas RT wires.
ORION® Remote Endpoint for Gas Meters and Volume Correctors with Pulsed Outputs The endpoint wire terminations depend on the corrector device and its proximity to the endpoint. ORION Remote Endpoint ORION Remote Endpoint Wire Connected to Meter Volume Corrector VOLUME CORRECTOR CONNECTIONS To connect the ORION remote endpoint wires to a Mercury or volume corrector output: • Remove the protective tape or gel caps from the end of the ORION remote endpoint lead wire.
Installation Data CONNECT THE ORION REMOTE ENDPOINT TO A TWO-CONDUCTOR CABLE FROM A METER OUTPUT If connecting a endpoint to a pair of wires, determine the proper length of wire needed from the ORION remote endpoint and from the pulser. 1. Trim about 3/4 inch of the outer sheath from both ORION wires. This exposes the two individual wires in each. NOTE: Do not remove the insulation from these wires. 2. Insert the two ORION remote endpoint positive (+) polarity wires into a gel cap.
ORION® Remote Endpoint for Gas Meters and Volume Correctors with Pulsed Outputs 1. Crimp the splices carefully and completely. Use a parallel jaw crimper, such as a Badger Meter p/n 59983-001. NOTE: For installation instructions see the Model GAS RT Installation Data sheet. 2. If the gel-cap connections are made at the gas RT unit, carefully tuck the wires and gel caps under the plastic gas RT cover. Snap the cover back into place. Snap Cover Into Place Gas RT Gel Caps 3.
Installation Data 4. Place a strain relief onto one corner of the endpoint. Strain Relief Gel-Cap Connections ALTERNATIVE PULSE SOURCE CONNECTIONS The ORION remote endpoint is compatible with most switch-closure pulse devices. Use the following ORION remote endpoint polarity descriptions along with the instructions from the alternating pulse source to determine the correct wiring scheme.
ORION® Remote Endpoint for Gas Meters and Volume Correctors with Pulsed Outputs PROGRAM THE ORION REMOTE ENDPOINT Badger Meter uses a handheld programmer/data collector system to process and display screens. Trimble Ranger and IR Read Head and Cable Please reference the Programming Guide for ORION gas endpoints and the manual for the handheld system, ORI-IOM-52 Trimble® Ranger™ Installation and Operation Manual.
Installation Data INSTALLATION COMPLETE Installation of the ORION remote endpoint is now complete.
