Programming an RTR Endpoint to the Odometer Setting
To install an ORION endpoint on an active meter with usage on an RTR, use the following information to ensure that the value
in the endpoint matches the current odometer value on the RTR once the endpoint is connected to the RTR
With an RTR, you must also program and set the endpoint to the RTR odometer value following a tamper repair
OTEE:
N
An ORION endpoint connected to an ADE, E-LCD or approved competitive three-wire encoder or an ADE or High
Resolution E-Series Ultrasonic meter does not require programming to clear a tamper After the wires have been
repaired, the endpoint is automatically updated to reflect the register odometer value in the first hour after the wires
have been repaired

Stopping an endpoint suspends data profiling. Restarting clears all historical interval data (profile data) and places fixed
mode endpoints into mobile mode. Endpoints in mobile mode may not revert to fixed mode for up to 48 hours.
Reading the Odometer
To install an ORION Migratable endpoint on an active meter with usage on the RTR, use the following information to ensure
that the value in the endpoint matches the current odometer value on the RTR once the endpoint is connected to the RTR
When programming ORION endpoints, enter the value of the six
moveable odometer wheels plus the sweep hand for all meter types
(gallons, cubic feet, etc ) and all meter models
In the example shown, the odometer value in the moveable dials
(both white and black digits) is ”000001 “
The sweep hand is pointing between the ”6“ and the “7“ but because
the sweep hand has not yet hit the ”7“, use ”6“ as the value for the last
digit of the meter reading In this example, the value to be entered
into the ORION endpoint Current Reading field would be ”16“or
”0000016 “ (The leading zeros are not required )

When programming an ORION endpoint connected to an E-Series
meter with an RTR protocol, program the seven most significant (left
most) digits shown on the meter display
