Page 3: Introduction
Introduction INTRODUCTION The Series 228PV wireless flow sensor system from Badger Meter® consists of the flow sensor mounted in a tee (flow sensor assembly), ORION® radio frequency (RF) transmitter complete with mounting kit, and ORION RF receiver/pulse transmitter . This system eliminates the need for expensive signal wires from the sensor output . -

Installation Figure 8 Figure 9 for suggested antenna installation, mounting hole sizes, and component part numbers . OTEE: Antenna cable lengths of more than 3 feet will negatively affect signal strength . Antennas operate more effectively when well grounded (with a 3 inch (76 mm) diameter ground plane) . Use the grounding washers included in both installation kits . -

Output is not recommended because it will decrease transmitter battery life and can affect transmitter operation . Badger Meter sensors will operate both above and below the suggested flow range for each tee size . Test results have shown, however, that the highest accuracy and best repeatability are achieved in the suggested flow range . - Page 13 Programming Programming New Flow Sensor Values To change the settings of the wireless sensor, use the programming software to enter new values as outlined here . 1 . Start the programming software . 2 . Connect the infrared cable (IR cable) to the computer . 3 .
