Force Read (Encoder Output)
When an ORION endpoint is connected to a device with encoder output (high resolution or ADE), the Force Read button
displays instead of the Program button
Force Read is used to view the real-time encoder odometer value and to verify a successful tamper repair
1 Align the optical head of the
IR cable with the endpoint
IR LED port
2 Click Force Read on the IR
Programming screen
Result: The reading value
updates to reflect the current
encoder odometer value.
If the tamper condition is
successfully repaired and the
tamper condition no longer
exists, the Tamper Status
Indicator clears.
