Page 5: Overview
(uncontrolled exposure), a 40 centimeter distance between the transmitter and the body of the user must be maintained during testing. No FCC license is required by a utility to operate an ORION SE meter reading system. This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. -
Page 6: Identification
Each ORION endpoint can be identified using the unique numeric serial number located on a tag attached to the wire harness and etched on the top (CE) or side (SE, ME) of the endpoint housing. Each Badger Meter encoder is clearly identified on the face of the register with an assembly number, unit of measure and meter model. -
Page 7: Network Endpoint Installation
Please refer to RTR-I-15 for field splice kit installation instructions. ORION endpoints shipped factory pre-wired to a Badger Meter encoder require no splicing. Only the mounting of the encoder to the meter and tightening the TORX® seal screw is necessary. -

Installation Data Remote Installation Remote Wall Mount Box Enclosure Kit (SE, ME and CE Endpoints) The ORION Remote Wall Mount Box Enclosure Kit is for use with either the Recordall Transmitter Register (RTR) or Absolute Digital Encoder (ADE) stepped tube and threaded tube ORION endpoint for remote mounting applications. The wall mounted Remote Box Enclosure is designed for mounting ORION endpoints in indoor or outdoor environments and also provides an environmentally protected area for gel splice connections (if needed) to be maintained inside the enclosure. - Page 12 ORION® Water Endpoint 3 Security Ribs 2 Strain Relief Tabs " Wide Slot Hole in Bottom Figure 8: Remote Box Enclosure Mounting Place the endpoint into the ORION Remote Box Enclosure as shown in Figure 9. To ensure maximum endpoint performance, it is important to mount the ORION endpoint in the proper orientation, with the endpoint antenna up and ORION endpoint IR communication port and wire down.
- Page 13 Installation Data After the endpoint is mounted in the Remote Box Enclosure, loop the endpoint wire through the strain relief tab and through the cut out on the bottom of the enclosure. If needed, gel splice connections can be made and kept inside the Enclosure prior to mounting.

Installation Data Using the required Gel Splice Crimping Tool (59983-001), place the connector with the wires into the jaws of the crimping tool. Figure 19: Connector in Crimping Tool Crimp the connector by squeezing the handles until the connector is completely compressed. The crimp tool is designed to prevent applying too much pressure to the gel cap. - Page 20 In either case, no specific testing or programming of the endpoint is required. Reading each pit endpoint after it has been installed verifies proper installation and reading performance. ADE, ORION and RTR are registered trademarks of Badger Meter, Inc.
