Automated Meter Reading and ORION Overview
With an Automated Meter Reading (AMR) or mobile system, ORION endpoints transmit
meter reading and event data via radio frequency to a mobile receiver or transceiver when
the device is within range of the endpoint’s signal during drive-by reading. ORION Mobile
Read (OMR) software collects data and synchronizes with BEACON AMA cloud-based
software.
Hardware: The BEACON AMA mobile solution features high-powered ORION endpoints
and a mobile data collector to deliver metering information.
ORION Endpoints are a three-wire metering endpoint device that requires connection to
an encoder to complete the assembly. Each ORION endpoint has a unique numeric serial
number on the tag attached to the cable harness and etched on the top or side of the
endpoint housing.
