VAULT INSTALLATION
For a deep vault installation, Badger Meter offers a Vault Installation Kit (64394-008) that can be used to mount the
endpoint to the side of the vault .
To install an ORION endpoint in a deep vault, follow these steps and refer to
Figure 11 .
1 . Mount the C-clamp on the side of the vault . Select a location inside the vault, close to the top, that will not be
damaged when access to the meter is required .
2 . Place the neoprene spacer supplied in the installation kit around the endpoint, approximately 1/2 inch from the top
of the endpoint .
3 . Thread the lock nut on the endpoint until it makes contact with the neoprene spacer as shown in Figure 11 .
4 . Insert the endpoint into the C-clamp as shown .
5 . Close the C-clamp and lock it in place so that it closes over the neoprene spacer and securely holds the endpoint .
NOTE: N ORION radio endpoints perform best with a clear line of sight . Performance varies by installation and
lid construction .
