ORION® Water Endpoints
ORION FIXED NETWORK AND MIGRATABLE ENDPOINTS
This section contains information regarding identification and encoder compatibility for field wiring and activation of ORION
Fixed Network and Migratable endpoints . ORION Fixed Network and Migratable endpoints have a serial number range of
30000000 to 599999999 .
Field Wiring, Encoder Connectivity and Read Resolution
ORION Fixed Network and Migratable 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 . See also "Endpoint Installation Kits" on page 16 .
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 .
Follow the manufacturer’s installation kit instructions provided with the gel splice or field splice kit you are using .
NOTE: N For instructions on using gel connectors for field wiring, see "Using Gel Caps to Connect an Encoder" on page 14 .

ADE or ENC Hersey Translator
Due to the customized, factory wire configurations of the Hersey Translator,
the terminal posts may not match the ORION endpoint wire colors . Please
contact Hersey for the terminal post wiring schematic of your encoders to
determine how the posts correspond to ORION endpoint wires .
NOTE: N Competitive encoder output is determined by the encoder configuration .
*ORION Fixed Network and Migratable ADE or ENC endpoints are compatible with the encoders 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 .
