Encoder Identification
Each Badger Meter encoder is identified on the face of the register with an assembly
number, unit of measure and meter model
To convert an endpoint field reading into billing units, BEACON software uses a register
resolution to identify the appropriate reading resolution to be applied to the endpoint meter
reading. The register resolution for high resolution encoders is based on the meter model,
meter size, encoder type, unit of measure, and the Badger Meter® endpoint that is
attached to the encoder. BEACON then applies an additional multiplier to the reading to
get the reading to the correct billing resolution. For additional information, contact Badger
Meter Technical Support.
