ORION® SE Network Gateway Transceiver Using the V-block Clamps This mounting equipment is sized to mount the network gateway transceiver on a vertical or horizontal pole with outer diameters ranging from 1-1/4 inches to 2-1/2 inches. For mounting on poles larger than 2-1/2 inches, refer to "Banding Mounting" on page 9. 1. Open the bag of mounting equipment. 2. Place two bolts (3/8-16 x 5 inches) through the holes in the top of the network gateway transceiver mounting backplate (Figure 3).
Installation & Operation Manual 7. Place a lock washer and nut on each bolt and tighten the nuts 100…150 inch-pounds to ensure the network gateway transceiver is sufficiently secured to the pole. 8. Repeat Steps 7 and 8 for attaching the V-block clamp mounting bracket hardware to the bottom bolts of the network gateway transceiver mounting backplate.
ORION® SE Network Gateway Transceiver NNOTE: Installation of banding mounting kit requires use of the BAND-IT tool shown below (66042-006) or equivalent BAND-IT tool as recommended by BAND-IT. Figure 7: BAND-IT Tool 1. Locate the BAND-IT tool and supplied installation instructions. 2. Follow the BAND-IT-supplied installation instructions enclosed with the BAND-IT tool for attaching the network gateway transceiver to a pole. 3.
Installation & Operation Manual ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION AC Power Badger Meter provides an AC-to-DC power supply that plugs into a standard three-prong 120V AC outlet. If powering the network gateway transceiver directly via DC power, please refer to the DC power information on page 17. Figure 9: 120V AC Power Supply with Power Cord M12 Connector Assembly NNOTE: Use only approved Badger Meter power cable, 100 foot (66233-015) or 300 foot (66233-017), for this assembly.

Installation & Operation Manual DC Power Source Installation The ORION SE network gateway transceiver may be ordered with a 10-foot DC power source cable for direct connection with a customer-supplied DC power source (24V DC @ 1A minimum). When connecting an AC-to-DC power supply, the electrical requirement for the network gateway transceiver is 1 amp (minimum) at 24V DC. When connecting directly to batteries, as in a solar assembly (not supplied), the minimum electrical requirement is 0.4 amp at 24V DC.
ORION® SE Network Gateway Transceiver RJ45 Plug Assembly (for LAN connectivity only) Required Supplies: • RJ45 Plug Assembly (66527-001) • Ethernet cable cordset using outdoor-rated Cat.5e cable and RJ45 jack (customer supplied) • Wrenches – 1-1/16 inch (customer supplied) Cable Gland Nut Metallic Housing Insulator Insert Halves Cable Gland Dome Nut Figure 19: RJ45 Plug Components 1. Feed the cordset cable through the dome nut end of the cable gland. 2.
Installation & Operation Manual Figure 21: RJ45 Plug Assembly with Code A Orientation 4. Insert the insulator assembly into the metallic housing using the Code A orientation as shown in Figure 21. An audible click will confirm complete connection. NNOTE: Code A orientation must be used or the plug will not fit into the receptacle. Assembled RJ45 plugs cannot be disassembled without a special tool (67163-001) and must be replaced. 5.
ORION® SE Network Gateway Transceiver BATTERY BACKUP REPLACEMENT In the event a battery replacement is required, please complete the installation steps as detailed below in the order presented. IMPORTANT Working with electronics requires the use of proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. Grounded wrist straps are recommended when working inside the enclosure. NNOTE: It is not necessary to remove AC power from the network gateway transceiver before removing the cover and replacing the battery.
Installation & Operation Manual NNOTE: The battery is held in place by the enclosure cover only. No other adhesive or locking mechanism is used. 3. Remove the battery from the unit (Figure 25) and safely discard the battery (see "Battery Disposal" on page 21). Figure 25: Battery Removal 4.
