NNOTE: Competitive encoder output is determined by the encoder configuration. *ORION Fixed Network and Migratable ADE or ENC endpoints are compatible with the encoders/meters noted above with a manufacture date of 2000 or newer as long as the encoder is programmed into the three-wire output mode for AMR/AMI and has three wires connected to it. Encoder registers that are currently in two-wire mode of operation require programming by the Utility, including registers that support auto two- or three-wire detection systems that do not automatically switch to three-wire mode of operation once a compatible endpoint is connected for ORION connectivity. May 2016 ORI-UM-00025-EN-12 Page 11 ORION Fixed Network and Migratable Endpoints Activating the Endpoint ORION Fixed Network and Migratable endpoints are shipped in "Pause" mode, an inactive, non-transmitting state. The endpoint offers a Smart Activation feature. After installation, the endpoint begins broadcasting data when the encoder to which it is connected first senses water usage. No field programming or special tools are required to activate the endpoint. NNOTE: Endpoints shipped via air are shipped in "Stop" (hard sleep) mode and must be activated via infrared (IR) communication using an ORION handheld or mobile reading system and the ORION Endpoint Utility software. RTR When an RTR is mounted on the water meter, and the ORION endpoint connected to the RTR is securely installed, the ORION system is ready for operation. The endpoint will turn on with water usage. Run water through the meter to increment the RTR 1/10th of the test circle. Upon receiving the first digital signal from the RTR, the endpoint counts the signal and begins its RF transmissions. No specific wire testing or endpoint programming is required. HR-E or ADE When an HR-E or ADE encoder is mounted on the water meter, and the ORION endpoint connected to the encoder is securely installed, the ORION system is ready for operation. The endpoint will begin RF transmission when it detects enough water usage from the register within one fifteen minute interval. The amount of water depends on the endpoint and meter size. For example, with an ORION ME endpoint connected to an 8-dial HR-E on an M25 meter, the encoder must detect 1 gallon of water usage before the endpoint turns on and begins its RF data broadcast. Once it begins broadcasting, the endpoint updates hourly based on the encoder odometer reading. No specific wire testing or endpoint programming is required. High Resolution ELCD Encoder or E-Series Ultrasonic Meter When an HR-ELCD encoder is mounted on the water meter or an E-Series Ultrasonic meter is installed, and the ORION endpoint connected to the encoder or E-Series Ultrasonic meter is securely installed, the ORION system is ready for operation. The endpoint will begin RF transmission when it detects enough water usage from the register within one fifteen minute interval. The amount of water depends on the endpoint and meter size. For example, with an ORION ME endpoint connected to a 9-dial HR-E LCD on an M120 meter, the encoder must detect 1 gallon of water usage before the endpoint begins its RF data broadcast. Once the endpoint has begun broadcasting, it will update hourly based on the HR-E LCD encoder or High Resolution E-Series Ultrasonic meter odometer reading. No specific wire testing or endpoint programming is required. Changing the Registration for an Existing Endpoint Assembly Best Practice To connect an ORION Fixed Network or Migratable endpoint with previously logged historical profile data to different registration, best practice recommends following this process: 1. Extract and save the historical profile data from the endpoint. See the ORION Endpoint Utility User Manual for mobile or handheld, available at www.badgermeter.com, if you need help. 2. Clear the profile data from the endpoint. 3. Connect the new registration. Follow applicable installation instructions in this manual. Confirming an Installation Reading an ORION endpoint immediately after installation verifies proper operation and reading performance. Before leaving the installation site, the installer can use an ORION handheld or mobile reading system to confirm the endpoint wiring was done correctly and that the endpoint is broadcasting RF data for reading. See the appropriate handheld or mobile reading system user manuals for more information. Page 12 ORI-UM-00025-EN-12 May 2016 ORION Classic Endpoints ORION CLASSIC ENDPOINTS This section contains information regarding identification and encoder compatibility for field wiring and activation of ORION Classic endpoints. ORION Classic endpoints have a serial number range of 70000000 to 199999999. Field Wiring, Encoder Connectivity and Read Resolution ORION Classic endpoints with flying leads are available for connectivity to Badger Meter encoders and E-Series Ultrasonic meters as well as a number of competitive encoders as shown in chart below. Endpoints are shipped from the factory pre-programmed and are available in an indoor/outdoor, three-wire configuration for connection to the encoders listed.

NNOTE: Competitive encoder output is determined by the encoder configuration. *ORION Classic UNIV and ARB-V endpoints are compatible with the encoders/meters noted above with a manufacture date of 2000 or newer as long as the encoder is programmed into the three-wire output mode for AMR/AMI and has three wires connected to it. Encoder registers that are currently in two-wire mode of operation require programming by the Utility, including registers that support auto two- or three-wire detection systems that do not automatically switch to three-wire mode of operation once a compatible endpoint is connected for ORION connectivity. **A separate ORION CE Universal endpoint is available for connectivity to the Neptune ARB-V encoder. Make sure the ORION Classic endpoint has "ARB-V" on the harness label when wiring to an ARB-V encoder. Wiring differs depending on the serial number of the ORION endpoint you are connecting to the ARB-V encoder, so make sure to verify wiring is correct per the above chart. May 2016 ORI-UM-00025-EN-12 Page 13 ORION Classic Endpoints Activating the Endpoint ORION Classic water endpoints are shipped in an inactive, non-transmitting state known as "Pause" mode. The endpoint offers a Smart Activation feature. After the endpoint is installed, it begins broadcasting data when the encoder senses the first usage of water. No field programming or special tools are required to activate the endpoint. NNOTE: Endpoints shipped via air are shipped in "Stop" (hard sleep) mode and must be activated via IR communication using an ORION handheld or mobile reading system and the ORION Endpoint Utility software. RTR When an RTR is mounted on the water meter, and the ORION endpoint connected to the RTR is securely installed, the ORION system is ready for operation. The endpoint will turn on with water usage. Run water through the meter to increment the RTR 1/10th of the test circle. Upon receiving the first digital signal from the RTR, the endpoint counts the signal and begins its radio frequency (RF) transmissions. No specific wire testing or endpoint programming is required. ADE, UNIV or ARB-V Endpoint After the ORION endpoint is securely installed and the encoder is mounted on the water meter, the ORION system is ready for operation. The endpoint will turn on with water usage. An ADE/UNIV/ARB-V endpoint requires up to one hourly reading interval where consumption changes the electronic reading. The amount of water depends on meter size. For example, with an ORION endpoint connected to a 6-dial ADE on an M35 meter, the encoder must detect 10 gallons of water usage before the endpoint will begin its RF data broadcast. Once it begins broadcasting, the endpoint will update hourly based on the encoder odometer reading. No specific wire testing or endpoint programming is required.
