Service The type of utility being measured by the meter, for example Water, Gas or Electric. Settings The values that can be changed by the user to control behavior to certain functions.
Trimble® Ranger™ THE MAKEUP OF THE TRIMBLE RANGER The Trimble Ranger is made up of a number of functions that all work together to perform meter reading quickly and easily. Review the following section to familiarize yourself with the hardware that makes up the Trimble Ranger..
Installation & Operation Manual Unit Setup Charge the PowerBoot Module The PowerBoot Module™ that contains the batteries is shipped detached from the unit. Before operating the Trimble Ranger, the PowerBoot should be charged. The AC charger that ships with your unit has adapters to fit most electrical outlets. Connect the appropriate outlet adapter to the AC charger. Plug the charger into an electrical outlet and plug the barrel end of the charger into the PowerBoot.
Trimble® Ranger™ Applying and Removing Power To turn the unit on, press and release the green Power key on the lower left hand corner of the keypad. To turn the unit off, press and release the Power key again. One of the most convenient features of the unit is “instant on” and “instant off” (also known as “suspend/resume”). There is no waiting for the unit to boot up every time it is turned on. “Instant on” does not occur on the first boot-up.
Installation & Operation Manual PowerBoot Module The PowerBoot includes the batteries to power the unit, the power port used to charge the unit, and the I/O ports that are used to communicate with other devices using a USB or serial cable. Battery life The Trimble Ranger has been designed to operate with the internal BlueTooth® and 802.11 wireless communication features and will automatically turn them off when not in use. Do not turn these wireless features on unless instructed.
Trimble® Ranger™ Swapping the PowerBoot Module The PowerBoot is designed to be quickly swapped in the field (if you have purchased additional PowerBoot Modules). If the current PowerBoot Module runs low, replace it and continue with your w ork. The unit saves enough power that if you swap the PowerBoot within a couple of minutes, it will not trigger a reset. If the saved power runs out before the new PowerBoot is connected, the unit will reset.
Installation & Operation Manual Accessing Storage Memory using File Explorer File Explorer (Start / Programs / File Explorer) allows browsing of the contents of folders on your unit. To easily delete, rename, or copy an item, touch and hold the item. NOTE: Unlike desktop PCs, Windows Mobile® 5.0 does not support a Recycle Bin. Once a file is deleted, it cannot be recovered.
Trimble® Ranger™ Date & Time Setting During training, the Trimble Ranger will be started and the initial settings will be completed by your trainer. These initial settings include setting the time, the date, the time zone, and the unit’s name. Each Trimble Ranger will have a unique name to make loading and unloading easier. To update the time or date, use the Date function in Windows Mobile, accessed by clicking Start / Settings / Clocks and Alarms.
Installation & Operation Manual Detailed Operations The Reading Cycle Using the Trimble Ranger for meter reading is easy. The reading cycle consists of these steps: 1.

See the Badger Meter Reading Data Management Software manual for information on setting the account information loaded to the Trimble Ranger. • The sixth line will display user-customizable information.
Installation & Operation Manual Gathering Meter Readings The Trimble Ranger performs meter readings both automatically and manually. When in automatic mode, the handheld will accept Badger Meter ORION meter readings and store them in the proper account. The screen will display the next unread meter, or the meter that was last displayed on the screen. If a reading is received for the meter shown on the screen, the screen is updated with the next unread meter.
Trimble® Ranger™ Processing the ORION Meter Reading Once the Trimble Ranger has received a meter reading from a Badger Meter ORION endpoint, it processes the information in a number of steps: • Determines if the message from the endpoint was received correctly • Determines the tamper status, non-usage, reverse flow (ADE only), and potential leak status of the endpoint • Determines the reading value reported by the endpoint • Evaluates the reading value against the high and low audit values to determ
Installation & Operation Manual If you choose Trouble Code, the Trimble Ranger will return to the Tamper Menu screen once the code is entered and stored so that you can also enter a manual reading.

One common use of the bookmark function occurs when you come upon a flooded meter pit, and your pump is back in the truck. You can set a bookmark at this meter and continue reading. Later, once you have the pump, you can search for the meter(s) that is/are bookmarked, and return to them to continue your work.
Trimble® Ranger™ If a meter has a reading, you cannot enter a skip code. You will see this error screen. Similarly, if the meter is skipped, you cannot enter a reading without first clearing the skip code. Because the skip code is either a Trouble code or a Reader code, the search function can be used to find a specific skip code. This screen shows the case where a Skip codes are defined as a Trouble code.
Installation & Operation Manual To return the meter’s status to unread, press the “Z” or “ZZ” keys again while the skipped meter is displayed on the screen. Search by Route When searching, you can search for a particular route. When you tap Search, then Select route, you will see a screen similar to this: If a route is not completely read, you can mark it as completed by tapping the Mark as Complete button. If the route is already marked as completed, you can remove the mark by tapping the Remove button.
