After Actuation
• BEACON information updates approximately two (2) minutes after scheduled actuation is completed.
• For five (5) calendar days after a valve closes, the endpoint communication accelerates to once every 2 hours. See
"Accelerated Endpoint Call-In" below. When the valve is opened, the call-in schedule reverts back to normal.
• The daily endpoint check-in time changes after a scheduled valve actuation. Select the Endpoint tab on the
expanded meter card to see the Next Comm (next endpoint communication) time.

MPORTANTI
For newly opened valves, check the alert bar on the meter card for any Post Open Flow Action alerts that might indicate an
unexpected flow condition.
Accelerated Endpoint Call-In
After closing a valve, the ORION Cellular LTE-M or LTE-MS endpoint communication changes temporarily.
Closed Valves
After the valve closes, the ORION Cellular LTE-M or LTE-MS endpoint will call in every 2 hours for five (5) calendar days. The
accelerated call-in schedule will occur on even hours regardless of when the valve is closed. The call-in will occur within 1…5
minutes of the top of the hour.
Example of accelerated endpoint call-in times after valve close:
Endpoint Call-in Times
Day 1 Valve CLOSED at 8 am 10 am 12 pm 2 pm 4 pm 6 pm 8 pm 10 pm
Day 2…5 12 am 2 am 4 am 6 am 8 am 10 am 12 pm 2 pm 4 pm 6 pm 8 pm 10 pm
Day 6 Endpoint resumes the normal call-in schedule (4x each weekday, 1x each weekend day) on Day 6
(or earlier if valve is opened)
During the first five days, this accelerated call-in schedule provides multiple opportunities each day to open the valve quickly,
if needed. After five days, the endpoint reverts to the normal call-in schedule.
Opened Valves
After a scheduled valve opening, the endpoint reverts to the configurable time slots selected as the normal call-in schedule
(see "BEACON First Time Setup" on page 9).
