Badger Meter ORION Cellular LTE-M - ORION Cellular LTE-M, LTE Endpoints

ORION Cellular LTE-M, LTE Endpoints
ORI-UM-00025-EN-19
ORION CELLULAR LTEM, LTE ENDPOINTS
This section includes configuration, encoder compatibility and installation information for ORION Cellular LTE-M and
LTE endpoints.
The serial number is engraved on one side of the endpoint
base, and the yellow FCC label is displayed on the other
side (Figure 5).
ORION Cellular LTE serial numbers range upward from
11xxxxxxx. ORION Cellular LTE-M serial numbers range
upward from 12xxxxxx.
Endpoint Congurations
The following configuration options are available.
Figure 5: ORION Cellular LTE-M endpoint pictured
Endpoint Configurations Encoder Connection
Endpoint only with in-line connector
(Twist Tight® or Nicor®)
Connect the endpoint to an encoder using the in-line connector.
See "In-line Connectors" on page 29.
Endpoint only with flying lead for field splice See Field Wiring, Encoder Connectivity and Read Resolution
below.
Endpoint/encoder assembly
with in-line connector
Endpoint/encoder assemblies (endpoints connected by an in-line connector to a
Badger Meter encoder) are shipped from the factory, ready for installation. See Field
Wiring, Encoder Connectivity and Read Resolution and "In-line Connectors" on page 29.
Field Wiring, Encoder Connectivity and Read Resolution
ORION Cellular LTE-M and LTE endpoints with flying leads are shipped from the factory pre-programmed. Connect all three
endpoint wires to an encoder to complete installation. The endpoint connection can be made to existing wires from the
encoder or directly to the encoder terminal screws, depending on the application and manufacturer. Endpoints can be
connected to Badger Meter high resolution encoders and E-Series Ultrasonic meters as well as a number of
competitive encoders.
See the wiring chart on the next page.
OTE:N For instructions on field wiring using gel connectors, see "Using Gel Caps to Connect an Encoder" on page 31. Follow
the manufacturer’s instructions provided with the gel cap/field splice kit you are using.
