ORION Migratable Endpoint IR
Select the ORION IR Programming function to read ORION Migratable (or Fixed Network in mobile mode) water and gas
endpoints This function is also used to program an endpoint following a tamper repair or retrofit installation (RTR® water
installations only) or perform a force read of the endpoint to the encoder, extract historical interval data, and confirm
endpoint network communication
Figure 16: IR Programming screen for ORION Migratable endpoint
NOTE: N Prior to performing any of the ORION Migratable endpoint IR functions, connect the IR programming cable to the
handheld, and make sure the appropriate COM port is set See "Hardware Settings" on page 63 if you need help
ORION Migratable Endpoint IR Buttons
Read Initiates the IR communication between the handheld and the endpoint Reads the endpoint type and
displays the information for the specific endpoint
Program/
Force Read
Toggles, depending on encoder type When used with an RTR encoder, Program is used to set the endpoint
odometer value following a tamper repair When used with an HR-E LCD or ADE® encoder, Force Read is used
to view the real-time encoder odometer value
Stop Stops the endpoint from transmitting A stopped endpoint must be reprogrammed to begin transmitting
again The endpoint history (profile data) is cleared when the ORION Migratable endpoint is restarted
Pause Pauses the endpoint transmission temporarily until a unit of water is registered
Start Starts the endpoint transmission
Ext Status Used to view endpoint exception statuses and additional information programmed into an endpoint It is also
used to field program meter type and size and unit of measure
Advanced Displays the endpoint firmware version and type of registration The Advanced screen also includes buttons
to request additional endpoint information such as date and time, start and get results of a flow rate study
and get the endpoint battery status
Listen Switches to radio frequency (RF) to ”hear“ if the endpoint is active and in mobile mode
Change DC
(gas only) Displays after initial read only for gas endpoints Used to select the gas drive circle information
