Changing Registration for an Existing Endpoint Assembly
ORI-UM-00025-EN-19
Conrming Installation - ORION Cellular LTE-M, LTE
Before leaving the installation site, the installer can confirm endpoints are active and communicating.
1. BEACON® AMA users can check ORION Cellular endpoint activation status with the ORION Endpoint Status tool.
Endpoints do not need to be provisioned in BEACON AMA to display using the tool. See "Endpoint Status Tool for
ORION Cellular Endpoints" on page 27 for more information.
2. The IR Communication Device (PN: 68891-001) can be used to conrm endpoint activation and verify the encoder
connection. Instructions are included with the device. See the IMPORTANT note on page 11 in the Activation for
Endpoints in Stop Mode section regarding required device rmware update.
Active endpoints automatically transition to the appropriate network.
Conrming Installation - ORION SE, ME, CE
Before leaving the installation site, the installer can use an ORION handheld or ORION Mobile Reading system to confirm the
endpoint is broadcasting RF data for reading. See the appropriate handheld or ORION Mobile Reading system user manuals,
available in the Resource Library at www.badgermeter.com, for more information.
Active Endpoints
ORION Cellular LTE-M, LTE When the endpoint transitions to Active mode, it begins the network registration process.
BEACON AMA assigns a daily call-in time to the endpoint as part of this process. An active
operating ORION Cellular LTE-M or LTE endpoint obtains a current encoder read every
15 minutes.
ORION SE, ME and CE When the endpoint transitions to On-Mobile mode, it begins broadcasting its message for
fixed network or mobile data collection. An active operating ORION endpoint obtains a
current encoder read once an hour.
CHANGING REGISTRATION FOR AN EXISTING ENDPOINT ASSEMBLY
ORION Cellular LTE-M, LTE
If you change the encoder connected to an ORION Cellular LTE-M or LTE endpoint, the endpoint will recognize the new
encoder, once connected, and report previous and current interval data.
ORION SE, ME, CE
If you change the encoder connected to an ORION Fixed Network, Migratable or Classic endpoint that has previously logged
historical profile data, best practice recommends following this process:
1. Extract and save the historical prole data from the endpoint. See the ORION Endpoint Utility User Manual for
handheld or tablet/laptop, available at www.badgermeter.com, if you need help.
2. Clear the prole data from the endpoint.
3. Connect the new encoder. Follow applicable installation instructions in this manual.
The endpoint will recognize the new encoder, once connected, and record interval data.
