Badger Meter ModMAG M Series - Encoder Protocol Interface

ENCODER PROTOCOL INTERFACE
The encoder protocol interface requires firmware version 1.10 or later. Reference BadgerMeter P/N 67354-003 to obtain a
firmware upgrade kit.
Enabling the meter as an encoder requires three settings, all within the advanced menu, to be configured.
• Totalizer Resolution – Selects the resolution of the display totalizer.
• Protocol Type – Selects the type of information to be transmitted to the encoder.
• Dial Type – Enables encoder and selects the number of significant totalizer digits to transmit.
Changing the protocol type automatically configures the necessary digital inputs/outputs. Manually changing the digital
inputs/outputs within the Input/Outputs menu is not allowed. Below is a wiring diagram for connecting an encoder to
the meter.

OTE: N When connected to an ORION® Cellular LTE endpoint, add a 15K resistor (BadgerMeter P/N 69224-001) to the meter
terminal block between terminal 1 (green wire) and terminal 8 (red wire) as shown to correct any potential meter
reading issues. The resistor is indicated by an arrow in the photo and in the drawing.
