Badger Meter GALAXY - Manual (Page 14)

ENDMOINT TCTIVTTION TND WIRING
The GALAXY endpoint is shipped in a dormant, non-transmitting condition .
Smart Tctivation
Smart Activation starts the endpoint broadcasting metering data once the encoder registers the first unit of water . Therefore,
no field programming or special tools are necessary at installation . When wiring to a Badger Meter HR E-LCD, HR-E, ADE or
E-Series meter (ADE or High Resolution) or to an approved competitive encoder, Smart Activation may take up to twelve
hours based on encoder interrogation frequency . Once activated a GALAXY endpoint will interrogate the encoder for its
reading on an hourly basis .
NOTE: N Refer to the GALAXY Endpoint Programming Manual, available at www.badgermeter.com , for detailed endpoint
programming instructions, including how to perform a system check by forcing a transmission .
To verify the endpoint is active, use a radio scanner tuned to the frequency for the GALAXY endpoint (found on the endpoint
label) . Once programmed to a utility's frequency, the radio scanner hears the RF broadcast from the GALAXY endpoint .
Wiring the Endpoint to an Encoder
The GALAXY endpoint may be factory wired to a Badger Meter endpoint with up to 75 feet of wire . Three to ten feet of wire is
standard . The endpoint and the encoder can also be shipped separately and connected at installation .
NOTE: N The encoder must be programmed to communicate using Sensus protocol, three-wire mode .
For those connections that are not factory wired, splicing is required . Splice connections require a field splice kit, which can be
ordered separately . When using the Badger Meter Field Splice Kit (62084-001), refer to the document that comes with the kit,
Field Splice Kit for Badger Meter AMR/AMI Products, for complete wiring instructions, or refer to the manufacturer's instructions
of the field splice kit that is being used .
NOTE: N The document Field Splice Kit for Badger Meter AMR/AMI Products is also available at www.badgermeter.com .
