Thesingle pit design offers a factory prewired ORION module to either ofBadger Meter's encoders, including the Recordall Transmitter Regis-ter (RTR®) or the Absolute Digital Encoder (ADE™).Each pit ORION transmitter can be identified using the unique eight-digit serial number located on a tag attached to the wire harness. Atthe end of the serial number a letter ‘M’ or ‘N’ appears. This alphacharacter represents whether the transmitter is for Metal (M) orNonmetal (N) pit lid applications. Each Badger Meter encoder is clearlyidentified on the face of the register with an assembly number, unit ofmeasure and meter model (see figure 1). It is essential that the correcttransmitter is used for the correct pit lid application. Failure to do sowill result in a violation of FCC regulations.1.75"DIAMETERHOLEFigure 2 Identification - Pit ORION TransmitterPIT LIDPIT ORIONBLACKHOUSING.493.33 ADE or RTRREGISTERORION Pit Installation KitsThrough Lid Installation Kit 64394-001Below Lid with Knuckles 64394-003Vault Installation Kit 64394-008Armour Cast Installation Kit 64394-009INSTALLATIONUNPACKINGCarefully remove the prewired pit ORION transmitter and encoderfrom the shipping carton and inspect the assembly for damage. Retainthe contents of the installation kit for use in mounting the pit transmitterin the field. Prior to installing any pit ORION transmitter, it is importantto determine whether it should be installed in a pit with a metal ornonmetal lid. To determine the type of pit ORION transmitter, look atthe serial number tag attached to the wire harness. At the end of theserial number, either a ‘M’ for metal or an ‘N’ for nonmetal will designatethe proper lid application for the transmitter.After determining the proper application, the ORION pit transmitter canbe installed either through or beneath the lid. An installation kit isprovided with each transmitter for mounting through or beneath a pitlid. Note that the ORION transmitter should not be mounted throughthe lid in applications where vehicle traffic and exposure to snow plowblades and other objects may damage the ORION transmitter.PIT ORION INSTALLATIONThe Pit ORION Transmitter (see Figure 4) is shipped prewired to theBadger Meter encoder for single pit configurations. Due to the factoryprewired shipment, there is no splicing required and only the mountingof the register with tightening of the Torx seal screw is necessary.Excess wire should be coiled up inside the pit and cable tied to avoidany damage.3/8 REBAR 1/2 REBAR 5/8 REBAR HEX HEAD BOLT CAN BE PLACEDIN ANY SLOT DEPENDING ONTYPE OF SUPPORT USED1/2 SCHEDULE 40 PVC PIPE#6-32 WING NUTP/N 63517-001#6 WASHERP/N 55262-007#8-32 X 3/4HEX HEAD BOLTP/N 55030-031SUPPORT BRACKETP/N 63516-001Figure 3 Identification - Pit Mounting Bracket - Top ViewORION Pit transmitters can be mounted through or below the pit lid.See figures 4 and 6 for details. For below the lid installations, a specialmounting bracket (figure 3) is available. This mounting bracket isdesigned for use with 3/8", 1/2" and 5/8" rebar or 1/2" schedule 40PVC pipe.Recordall TransmitterRegister (RTR®)Figure 1Absolute DigitalEncoder (ADE™)

Once in the ground, secure themounting bracket on the appropriate rebar or pipe using the enclosedwasher, wing nut and hex head bolt provided with the bracket. Insertthe Pit ORION Transmitter through the bracket and thread the lockingnut to secure the ORION transmitter (see Figure 4). For best resultsmount the Pit Transmitter approximately 1-2" below the under-side of the lid.If installation of the ORION pit transmitter will occur in a deep vault,Badger offers a kit that can be used to mount the transmitter to theside of the vault. To install, mount the ‘C’ clamp on the side of thevault. Select a location close to the top of the vault that will not bedamaged when access to the meter is required. Place the tapesupplied in the installation kit around the transmitter approximately½” from the top of the transmitter. Thread the locking ring on thetransmitter until it makes contact with the tape. Insert thetransmitter into the ‘C’ clamp. Close the ‘C’ clamp and lock in placeso that the it closes over the tape and securely holds thetransmitter.NOTE: ORION radio transmitters perform best with a clear lineMETER PIT LID 1/2 SCHEDULE 40PVC PIPEFigure 4 Identification - Pit ORION Beneath Lid Installationof site and performance will vary by installation and lidconstruction.ORION pit transmitters can also be installed in composite and plasticlids like Armourcast. An installation kit for installing an ORION pittransmitter to the lid is available. To install an ORION transmitter to acomposite or plastic lid, thread the locking ring onto the top of the Oriontransmitter. Slide the transmitter into the mounting bracket. Threadthe locking ring so that the transmitter is held firmly in place.RTR INSTALLATIONInstall the RTR on the water meter and secure it using either the Torx®screw or standard seal screw provided.TESTINGOnce the pit ORION transmitter is securely installed and the RTR hasbeen mounted on the water meter, the ORION system is ready foroperation. Run water through the meter to increment the RTR 1/10thof the test circle. Upon receiving the first digital signal from the RTR,the transmitter will count the signal and begin its radio frequencytransmissions. No specific testing of the wiring or programming of thetransmitter is required. Reading each pit transmitter installed immediatelyafter installation will verify proper operation and reading performance.ORION reading equipment only can be used to read installed ORIONtransmitters.LICENSE REQUIREMENTSThis device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation of thisdevice is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device maynot cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept anyinterference received, including interference that may cause undes-ired operation. Any changes made by the user not approved by BadgerMeter can void the user's authority to operate the equipment. Nolicense is required by the utility to operate an ORION meter readingsystem.Figure 5 Figure 6
