Installation Manual OVERVIEW This manual contains installation instructions for the ORION® Fixed Network - Metal Lid water endpoint. • Installation of ORION endpoints must comply with all applicable federal, state and local rules, regulations and codes. • Failure to read and follow these instructions can lead to misapplication or misuse of this product, resulting in personal injury and damage to equipment.
ORION® Fixed Network – Metal Lid Endpoint IDENTIFICATION The ORION Fixed Network - Metal Lid endpoint is a three-wire metering endpoint device that requires connection to an encoder to complete the assembly. The endpoint and compatible Badger Meter encoders are shown below. Each ORION endpoint has a unique numeric serial number on the tag attached to the wire harness and etched on the side of the endpoint housing.
Installation Manual ENDPOINT INSTALLATION ORION Metal Lid endpoints can be configured with a 308 or Nicor inline connector for installation. Installation Kit TYPE PIT DESCRIPTION Kit Part Number Metal Pit Lid Endpoint Installation Kit 64394-009 The Metal Pit Lid Installation Kit (PN: 64394-009) is designed for use with the Metal Lid endpoint, and has a 1-7/8 inch standard hole diameter. The pit lid maximum thickness is 4 inches.
ORION® Fixed Network – Metal Lid Endpoint ORION FIXED NETWORK - METAL LID ENDPOINTS This section contains information regarding identification, encoder compatibility and wiring, and activation for ORION Fixed Network endpoints. ORION Fixed Network endpoints have a serial number range of 30000000 to 599999999.
Installation Manual Activating the Endpoint ORION Metal Lid endpoints are shipped in an inactive, non-transmitting state known as “Pause” mode. 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.
ORION® Fixed Network – Metal Lid Endpoint WIRING AN ORION ENDPOINT TO AN ENCODER An ORION endpoint is a three-wire metering endpoint device that requires connection to an encoder to complete the assembly. All three wires must be connected to complete an installation. The ORION endpoint connection can be made to either existing wires from the encoder or directly to the terminal screws of the encoder, depending on the application and manufacturer.
Installation Manual Using Gel Caps to Connect an Encoder Follow these steps when using Badger Meter supplied gel caps. 1. To connect an encoder with existing wires to an ORION endpoint, strip approximately 1-1/2 inches of outer insulation sheath from the encoder and endpoint cables using a coax stripping tool. We recommend using the Badger Meter Coax Stripper (59989-001). USE CAUTION WHEN REMOVING THE OUTER SHEATH SO THAT THE INNER SIGNAL WIRE INSULATION IS NOT NICKED OR DAMAGED. 2.

Attach the two plastic cable ties and tighten securely for strain relief. Snip off the excess cable tie with the wire cutter. Figure 6: Wire tie attachment locations Testing Wire Connections ft 5. To complete the pit installations, use an appropriate secondary field splice kit.
