UNIV* Hersey Translator
Due to the customized, factory wire configurations of the Hersey Translator,
the terminal posts may not match the ORION endpoint wire colors. Please
contact Hersey for the terminal post wiring schematic of your encoders to
determine how the posts correspond to ORION endpoint wires.
OTE:N Competitive encoder output is determined by the encoder configuration.
*ORION Classic UNIV and ARB-V endpoints are compatible with the encoders/meters noted above with a manufacture date within 10 years of the current
date as long as the encoder is programmed into the three-wire output mode for AMR/AMI and has three wires connected to it. Encoder registers that are
currently in two-wire mode of operation require programming by the Utility, including registers that support auto two- or three-wire detection systems that
do not automatically switch to three-wire mode of operation once a compatible endpoint is connected for ORION connectivity.
**A separate ORION CE Universal endpoint is available for connectivity to the Neptune ARB-V encoder. Make sure the ORION Classic endpoint has “ARB-V” on
the harness label when wiring to an ARB-V encoder. Wiring differs depending on the serial number of the ORION endpoint you are connecting to the ARB-V
encoder, so make sure to verify wiring is correct per the above chart.
Installation Guidelines (Indoor, Outdoor, Pit)
Install the endpoint/encoder assembly according to these guidelines:
• Indoor/Outdoor Installation: Mount outside the building, or indoors in the floor joist, near an outside wall, and
away from large metal objects.
• Pit Installation: Mount through a NON-METAL pit lid—Recommended.
OTE:N Endpoints not properly installed may not be covered under warranty.
