Description
The HR-E is a fully potted, eight-wheel absolute encoder. The
encoder with glass lens is available factory pre-wired to
Badger Meter AMR/AMI products, or may be spliced to other devices
following the instructions. This version is permanently sealed to
eliminate the intrusion of moisture, dirt, or other contaminants, and
is suitable for installation in all environments, including meter pits
subject to continuous submergence.
The HR-E with terminal screws features the same permanent sealing
of the register's internal elements, but does not provide a moisture
resistant enclosure. Therefore, it is suitable for indoor installation in
a dry environment only, and is marked as such on the terminal
screw cover.
Compatibility
The HR-E is designed for use with all current Badger Meter
Recordall® Disc, Turbo Series, Compound Series, Combo Series and
Fire Service meters and assemblies. Each HR-E is clearly identified on
the face of the dial with an assembly number, unit of measure and
meter model. The HR-E provides connectivity with Badger Meter
ORION® and GALAXY® AMR/AMI endpoints, BadgerTouch® modules
and other AMR/AMI technology solutions approved by
Badger Meter.
CONNTCTING AN TNCODTR TO AN TNDPOINT
THE HR-E SHOULD ONLY BE CONNECTED TO A PRODUCT
APPROVED BY BADGER METER. CONNECTION TO AN
UNAPPROVED PRODUCT WILL VOID THE
HR-E WARRANTY.
Badger Meter encoders have a factory installed three-conductor
cable (brown) for connection to the endpoint. If the wire is cut
or broken and requires a field splice after the initial installation,
connect like-color wires to maintain proper installation.
Badger Meter wiring standards use the black wire as the negative (–)
conductor and the red as the positive (+) conductor.
Before proceeding with the installation, be certain that the
meter type and size correspond, and that the proper encoder
configuration has been supplied for the application.
