IDENTIFICATION
The Model RED (Remote Electronic Display) remote reading
registers are designed for use with all Badger® Recordall® Disc,
Turbo, Compound and Fire Series meters equipped with RTR®
registers, plus the Badger Magnetoflow® meter.
REGISTER INSTALLATION
While the RED electronics and battery are environmentally
sealed and suitable for outdoor installation, the wire terminals
are not sealed from moisture. The unit, therefore, should not
be installed in locations below grade level or in a submersible
environment.
1. Remove register cover.
2. Using the register base as a template, locate and mark
mounting holes on outside wall of building. For best results
the RED should be located at eye level in an easily accessible
location.
3. Secure register base to wall using the mounting dimensions
in the drawing below to drill the locating holes.
NOTE: Avoid mounting register on loose siding of any type
since this will only lead to wire breakage or other potential
problems. (Register mounting hardware is supplied by the
customer).
4. Drill a 3/16” wire entry hole at a suitable location in the build-
ing wall.
5. Run the wire from the meter-mounted RTR through the hole
in the wall to the Remote Electronic Display register.
6. Cut the wire to proper length at the register, allowing suffi-
cient wire for connection to the register. Maximum wire length
between the RTR and the RED register is 3000 feet using Belden
8451 wire.
NOTE: Wire access to the Remote Electronic Display register is
through a bottom access port. Allow sufficient wire to form a
small U-shaped loop where the wire enters the building. The
loop eliminates the possibility of rainwater running down the
wire into the building.
