IDENTIFICATION
Endpoints
The ORION water endpoint is a
three-wire metering device (Figure 1)
for indoor/outdoor use. Each endpoint
has a unique numeric serial number
on the tag attached to the cable
harness (wire) and etched on the
endpoint housing.
Endpoints require connection to an
encoder to complete the assembly.
Badger Meter encoders are shown in
Figure 4.

Encoders/Register
The encoder connects to the endpoint to complete the assembly. Each Badger Meter encoder is identified on the face of the
register with an assembly number, unit of measure and meter model. Current and legacy products are shown in Figure 4.
