RTR® - Pit ORION®
Recordall® Transmitter Register for
Pit ORION®
Technical
Brief
DESCRIPTION
APPLICATIONS: The Badger ® RTR® Pit ORION ® RF system is designed
for water meter pit or vault installations that are subject to flooding or
submergence. The assembled system consists of the Recordall®
Transmitter Register (RTR ®) and the ORION Pit Module. The RTR is
factory wired to the end cap assembly for maximum reliability; the Pit
ORION is bottom mounted thru a drilled hole in the meter pit lid.
The assembled RTR Pit ORION is designed to communicate with
Badger interrogation devices, including handheld or mobile.
OPERATION: The RTR provides a digital signal from Badger Meter's
patented piezoelectric solid-state switch. This signal has the
characteristics of an open drain Field Effect Transistor (FET) and has
no electrical contacts to stick, wear or corrode. It is fully compatible with
the input circuitry of the ORION Pit Module. The ORION Pit Module uses
the RF bubble-up (broadcast) mode.
RESOLUTION: Digital output from the RTR has resolution of 1/10th of
the register test circle. Output resolution of the Pit ORION Module may
vary with meter size. The resolution table on the back of this technical
brief lists output resolution for all ORION meter applications.
LEAK DETECTION: The Orion system provides optional leak detection
notification when the meter is read. The system reports leak detection
when 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 no usage is found.
MOUNTING: The RTR uses a bayonet connection compatible with all
Recordall ® Disc, Turbo, Compound and Fire Series meters. A TORX®
seal screw is provided to allow positioning and to secure the RTR to the
meter body in a tamper resistant mode. The RTR can be removed from
the meter without disrupting service or disconnecting the Pit ORION.
The RTR is factory wired to the Pit ORION Module.
For best performance, the Pit ORION is mounted through the drilled hole
in the lid, attached to the lid, and programmed by the utility in the field.
If the Pit ORION system is mounted below the lid (not through the
drilled hole) reduced performance will result.
MAGNETIC DRIVE: Direct drive, high-strength, magnetic coupling
through the meter body to the wetted magnet provides reliable and
dependable register 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. Permanent sealing eliminates moisture, dirt, and other
contaminants.
Signal Characteristics
TAMPER-PROOF FEATURES: Removal of the RTR from the 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.
Typical Signal Duration
CUT WIRE TAMPER INDICATION: The Pit ORION has the capability
to detect a tamper should it exist. Proper setup in ORION Reading
System software needed.
On State Resistance
CONSTRUCTION: The housing of the RTR is constructed of a tempered
glass lens top and a copper alloy metal bottom. Internal construction
materials are thermoplastic for long-life and high reliability. The integrity
of the adhesive seal joining the glass top to the metal base provide
unmatched protection in water meter applications. A corrosion and
tamper resistant TORX seal screw is provided to secure the RTR to the
meter. The shroud assembly is polycarbonate.
The housing of the Pit ORION is constructed of a polycarbonate

TEMPERATURE: The operating range of the RTR is -40°C to 49°C (40°F to 120°F). The operating range of the Pit ORION is -40°C to 60°C
(-40°F to 140°F). The water meter should not be subjected to temperatures below freezing.

MOISTURE: The RTR is permanently sealed and designed for
submerged meter pit applications. The RTR Pit ORION system is also
designed for flooded or submerged meter pit locations.
WIRE CONNECTIONS: The RTR can be factory prewired with presized wire harness of either 5 or 20 feet to the ORION Pit Module.
ELECTRONICS: The piezoelectric switch circuit board is completely
sealed against moisture inside the unit and sealed to ensure protection
from humidity. The Pit ORION Module is designed to protect against
the effects of humidity.

OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS: The RTR has an output equal
to 1/10th of the meter test circle with the characteristics of an open drain
FET. The on-state condition is a solid-state switch closure. Off-state
condition is an open circuit. Powered by an external source, the RTR
has a maximum rating of 30 VDC at 1 mA (25°C).
