TechnicalBriefBadgerMeter,Inc.®RTR-T-355-02DESCRIPTIONAPPLICATIONS: The assembled Badger® RTR® ORION® Integral consistsof the Recordall® Transmitter Register (RTR) in a unique shroud whichincorporates the ORION RF Module. When assembled, the product is fullyconfigured for use with Recordall disc series, turbo series and compoundseries water meters, (excluding Turbo I meter) which are installed as indoormeter settings, i.e., in basements, utility rooms, etc. (This product is notdesigned for vault or meter pit installations which are subject to floodingor submergence.) Remote units can be also installed with Fire Servicemeters and assemblies.The assembled Integral RTR-ORION is designed to communicate withBadger interrogation devices, including handheld and mobile.The RTR-Remote ORION consists of the 3-wire (brown) RTR assemblywired to the ORION Remote. This product is used in inside meter locationswhere the integral RTR-ORION assembly is not suitable, or in outsideapplications.OPERATION: The RTR provides a digital signal from Badger Meter'spatented piezoelectric solid-state switch. This signal has the characteristicsof an open drain Field Effect Transistor (FET) and has no electricalcontacts to stick, wear or corrode. It is fully compatible with the inputcircuitry of the ORION RF Module. The ORION Integral and RemoteModules use the RF bubble-up (broadcast) mode.RESOLUTION: Digital output from the RTR has resolution of 1/10th of theregister test circle. Output resolution of the ERT may vary with meter size.The resolution table on the back page of this technical brief lists outputresolution for all Recordall meter applications.LEAK DETECTION: The Orion system provides optional leak detectionnotification when the meter is read. The system reports leak detectionwhen a two hour window of no usage is found within a 24 hour time period.The system automatically resets when the next two hour window of nousage is found.MOUNTING: The RTR-Integral ORION in its shroud assembly uses abayonet connection compatible with all Recordall® Disc, Turbo andCompound Series meters. A TORX® seal screw is provided to allowpositioning and to secure the register to the meter body in a tamperresistant mode. The RTR-ORION can be removed from the meter withoutdisrupting water service.MAGNETIC DRIVE: Direct drive, high-strength, magnetic coupling throughthe meter body to the wetted magnet provides reliable and dependableregister coupling.SEALED REGISTER: The RTR local register consists of a six-digit straight-reading mechanical odometer totalizer, a 360° test circle with sweep hand,and a flow finder to detect leaks. The register gearing is self-lubricating,thermoplastic to minimize friction and provide long, reliable life. Permanentsealing eliminates moisture, dirt, and other contaminants.TAMPER-PROOF FEATURES: Removal of the RTR-Integral ORION fromthe meter can be minimized by using a tamper resistant TORX seal screw.TORX seal screws are provided as standard accessories with the RTR.Optional tamper detection seal wire screws are also available.CUT WIRE TAMPER INDICATION: The ORION remote/integral RF Modulehas the capability to detect a tamper should it exist. Proper setup in ORIONReading System software needed.CONSTRUCTION: The housing of the RTR is constructed of a temperedglass lens top and a copper alloy metal bottom. Internal constructionmaterials are thermoplastic for long-life and high reliability. The integrityof the adhesive seal joining the glass top to the metal base provideunmatched protection in water meter applications. A corrosion and tamperresistant TORX seal screw is provided to secure the RTR to the meter. Theshroud assembly is polycarbonate.TEMPERATURE: The operating range of the RTR is -40°C to 49°C (-40°Fto 120°F). The operating range of the Integral and Remote ORIONModules is -40°C to 60°C (-40°F to 140°F). The water meter should notbe subjected to temperatures below freezing.MOISTURE: The RTR-Integral ORION is designed for dry applications,i.e., meters located in basements, utility rooms, etc. The RTR-remoteORION can be mounted indoors or outdoors where it is not subjected tosubmergence. It is not intended for outdoor meter pits or vaults.SPECIFICATIONSTransmitter/Register Straight reading, permanently sealed,magnetic driveUnit of Measure U.S. Gallons, Cubic Feet, Cubic Meters,clearly identified on register faceNumber Wheels Six with 3/16" high numeralsNamel font typeTest Circle 360° circle with ten major increments withten divisions eachWeight 9 OuncesHumidity 0% to 100% CondensingSignal Characteristics Open Drain (FET)Visual Resolution 1/100th of Test CircleElectronic Resolution 1/10th of Test CircleTypical Signal Duration 15 ms to 75 ms @ 25°C (77°F)8 ms to 75 ms over operating temperaturerange at 67 µAOn State Resistance 7.5 Ohms @ 25°C (77°F)Power Source ExternalMaximum Switching 30 VDC @ 1 mA @ 25°C (77°F)Battery on Integral and (2) 3.6V 2.4 Ahr Lithium BatteriesRemote ORIONSee Badger Technical Brief RTR-T-05 for RTR® specifications.RTR® - Integral ORION®RTR - Remote ORIONRecordall® Transmitter Register forORION® Integral or Remote
