TERM DESCRIPTION
ORION Endpoint Utility The programming and quick read software application for ORION Cellular, Migratable (ME),
Fixed Network (SE) and Classic (CE) endpoints
ORION Field Application The route meter reading software application for the handheld
ORION ME, ORION SE
The ORION Migratable and ORION Fixed Network endpoints are two-way utility management
solutions ORION Migratable (and ORION Fixed Network in mobile mode) endpoints
communicate with a mobile transceiver designed to receive signals from and send signals to
ORION Migratable and Fixed Network water and gas endpoints The transceiver has
Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology to minimize interference and
eliminate FCC licensing
programming menu A specific menu within the Badger Meter AMR software that allows module programming
quick read A feature that allows the operator to capture a reading for a specific module The quick read
function is available for touch modules or ORION endpoints When quick reading ORION
endpoints, the readings can be displayed from up to 50 endpoints in range of the Badger Meter
ORION handheld, not just from one endpoint
potential leak A status reported by an ORION endpoint showing that the meter has registered continuous flow
and may have a potential leak
reading data
management software
Refers to the Badger Meter software which acts as an interface between the utility's billing
software and the meter reading devices The handheld software loads route information from
the reading data management software and unload meter information to the reading data
management software
reading menu The handheld screen holding the list of different functions that can be performed when
reading meters
RF Radio frequency
route A list of meters to read
route management
software
The software product or system that loads route information into the computer and accepts
completed meter readings from the handheld computer
route progress The function that displays the number of meters read in the current route, along with other
related information
RTR The Badger Meter Recordall® Endpoint Register (RTR) is used in conjunction with Recordall disc,
turbo, compound and fire series water meters to measure totalized flow through the meter and
output a signal to Badger Meter meter reading products
settings The values that can be changed by the user to control behavior of certain screen functions
tamper A status reported by an ORION endpoint showing that the wire between the register and the
endpoint is cut or shorted
text message A message entered by the meter reader to be sent to the utility office via the Badger Meter
reading data management software
trouble code A message that is chosen by the meter reader from a list stored in the handheld and sent to the
utility office describing a condition or status at the meter
VersaProbe A meter reading wand device that can be used with the handheld to read touch modules
work item An optional task request set up in ReadCenter Analytics or Analytics Mobile for collecting
data, including extended status, from ORION Migratable (and Fixed Network in mobile mode)
endpoints Work items are completed and returned to the reading data management software
with the route information
