Valve Activation
Once the endpoint is activated, the following process occurs automatically:
1. Endpoint senses and activates the valve on the E-Series Ultrasonic Plus meter. The endpoint then captures the initial
meter reading and valve information.
2. Endpoint begins the network registration process. BEACON assigns multiple daily call-in times to the endpoint as
part of this process. For weekdays, the endpoint call-in schedule is based on the congurable time slots as dened
in BEACON Utility Settings. (See "BEACON First Time Setup" on page 9 for more information.) The endpoint obtains a
current encoder read every 15 minutes.
3. Approximately 10 seconds after activation, the valve LED starts blinking once per minute.
Green = Open. Red = Closed. Amber = Partially Closed.
OTE:N E-Series Ultrasonic Plus meters become accessible on the Monitor page after endpoints are provisioned in BEACON.
For complete ORION endpoint installation guidelines and instructions, see the ORION Water Endpoints Installation
Manual, available in the Resource Library at www.badgermeter.com.
4. Confirm Installation
Before leaving the installation site, you can confirm endpoint activation with any of these:
1. Check the endpoint activation status with the ORION Endpoint Status tool. See the ORION Water Endpoints Installation
Manual for more information.
2. Use the ORION Endpoint Utility software to conrm activation via IR. Refer to the appropriate ORION Endpoint Utility
Software user manual for more information.
3. When provisioned, check endpoint signal strength in BEACON. See Figure 13 on page 13.
OTE:N Endpoints automatically transition to the appropriate network.
