Splicing Considerations

Splice connections made in pit environments require a pit field

splice kit (62084-001), which can be ordered separately. See the

Field Splice Kit Installation Instructions

available on our website.

ORION endpoints shipped factory pre-wired to a Badger Meter

encoder require no splicing. All you do is mount the encoder to the

meter and tighten the seal screw.

Wire Connections

The HR-E is available factory pre-wired to Badger Meter

AMR/AMI products. The encoder 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 encoder is also available with potted, pre-sized wire harness

available for connection to endpoints in the field. Standardized lead

lengths are 3, 10, 25, and 75 feet.

In-line Connector

An in-line connector is an optional feature that allows connectivity

to AMR/AMI devices without the need for a field splice kit.

HR-T WITH TTRMINAL SCRTWS

The HR-E with terminal screws features the same permanent sealing

of the encoder’s internal elements, but does not provide a moisture

resistant enclosure. Therefore, the HR-E with optional terminal screw

is suitable for indoor installation in a dry environment only, and is

marked as such on the terminal screw cover.

The terminal screws are identified by the letters “R”, “B”, and “G”

(standing for Red, Black and Green) molded into the screw cavity.

1. Strip approximately 1-1/2" of outer insulation sheath from the

endpoint or other supplied wire using a coax stripping tool. Take

care not to damage the inner wire insulation.

2. Unwind the outer foil shield from the cable and cut it off even

with the outer sheath using the wire cutting pliers.

3. Cut the uninsulated shield drain wire even with the

outer sheath.

4. Strip approximately 1/2" of insulation from the inner wires using

the wire stripper.

5. Use a screwdriver to loosen the encoder terminal screws

sufficiently to allow the bare wire ends to fit below the

screw heads.

6. Bend the bare wire ends into hook shapes that will closely fit

around the shafts of the terminal screws, and hold the hooks

around the screw shafts while tightening the screws with the

screwdriver. Do not overtighten screws. The hooks should be

oriented with the openings to the right, so that tightening the

screws (by turning to the right) will tend to draw the wire closer

to the screw.

7. Place a plastic cable tie approximately 1/4" from the end of the

outer insulation sheath. Tighten securely for strain relief. Remove

excess cable tie.

8. Make sure that the cable exits the terminal screw cavity via the

opening on the right side of the cavity wall and that cable tie

resides on the interior of terminal cover.

9. Place the cover over the terminal screw cavity and secure by

tightening the seal screw.

TTSTING

After all connections are complete, test the entire installation

including the HR-E, the wiring and the endpoint for proper

operation in accordance with the instructions supplied with

the endpoint.

INSTALLING THT HR-T

Bayonet Mount

The bayonet mount positions the encoder in any of four

orientations for visual reading convenience. The HR-E can be

removed from the meter without disrupting water service.

Install the encoder on the water meter and secure it using the

tamper-proof screw provided.
