INSTALLATION
Connecting the ER-500 Monitor to a Pulse Output Device
The ER-500 monitor has two jumpers that are used to set the type of signal and the minimum amplitude of the signal that
it accepts. When used with Badger Meter IOG oval gear meters, the Input Signal Level should be set to Low and the Input
Waveform should be set for pulse as shown in Figure 2.

If the ER-500 monitor is a replacement, it must be calibrated for the IOG it is intended to be used with. The K-factor for the
specific IOG meter must be programmed into the ER-500 monitor. The K-factor value is found on the calibration certificate
that came with the IOG meter. For instructions on programming the K-factor, see Enter Flow Sensor's K-factor* on page 17.
Transmitter Connections
The ILR transmitter typically used with the IOG meter family has two sets of pulse output wires. The white and green output
leads connected to the primary reed switch bank are generally the first choice (see Figure 3).

The ILR transmitter also has a secondary (auxiliary) set of pulse output wires. Either pair can be used to connect to the ER-500
monitor. The connections are:
