HR-E LCD
The HR-E LCD is a permanently sealed, electronic LCD absolute encoder with field-programmable options that produces an
industry standard ASCII encoded output. HR-E LCD encoders are designed for use with all current Badger Meter Recordall®
Disc, Turbo Series, Compound Series, Combo Series and Fire Service meters and assemblies. The encoders provide
connectivity with Badger Meter ORION®
and GALAXY® AMR/AMI endpoints and other AMR/AMI technology solutions
approved by Badger Meter.
HR-E LCD 4-20
The HR-E LCD 4-20 is a permanently sealed, electronic LCD absolute encoder that produces an industry standard ASCII
encoded output as well as an analog 4-20 mA DC output signal with a dual output wire design. HR-E LCD 4-20 encoders are
designed for use with all current Badger Meter Recordall® Disc, Turbo Series, Compound Series, Combo Series and Fire Service
meters and assemblies. The encoders provide connectivity with Badger Meter ORION
