Pit ORION®
Installation
Data
Pit ORION
IDENTIFICATION
Badger Meter Pit ORION Transmitters are available in a single
transmitter configuration for easy adaptation to the complete Badger®
Recordall® Disc, Turbo, Compound Series, and Mag meter lines. The
single pit design offers a factory prewired ORION module to either of
Badger Meter's encoders, including the Recordall Transmitter Register (RTR®) or the Absolute Digital Encoder (ADE™).
Each pit ORION transmitter can be identified using the unique eightdigit serial number located on a tag attached to the wire harness. At
the end of the serial number a letter ‘M’ or ‘N’ appears. This alpha
character represents whether the transmitter is for Metal (M) or
Nonmetal (N) pit lid applications. Each Badger Meter encoder is clearly
identified on the face of the register with an assembly number, unit of
measure and meter model (see figure 1). It is essential that the correct
transmitter is used for the correct pit lid application. Failure to do so
will result in a violation of FCC regulations.
lid. Note that the ORION transmitter should not be mounted through
the lid in applications where vehicle traffic and exposure to snow plow
blades and other objects may damage the ORION transmitter.
PIT ORION INSTALLATION
The Pit ORION Transmitter (see Figure 4) is shipped prewired to the
Badger Meter encoder for single pit configurations. Due to the factory
prewired shipment, there is no splicing required and only the mounting
of the register with tightening of the Torx seal screw is necessary.
Excess wire should be coiled up inside the pit and cable tied to avoid
any damage.

ORION Pit transmitters can be mounted through or below the pit lid.
See figures 4 and 6 for details. For below the lid installations, a special
mounting bracket (figure 3) is available. This mounting bracket is
designed for use with 3/8", 1/2" and 5/8" rebar or 1/2" schedule 40

INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
Carefully remove the prewired pit ORION transmitter and encoder
from the shipping carton and inspect the assembly for damage. Retain
the contents of the installation kit for use in mounting the pit transmitter
in the field. Prior to installing any pit ORION transmitter, it is important
to determine whether it should be installed in a pit with a metal or
nonmetal lid. To determine the type of pit ORION transmitter, look at
the serial number tag attached to the wire harness. At the end of the
serial number, either a ‘M’ for metal or an ‘N’ for nonmetal will designate
the proper lid application for the transmitter.

ORION pit transmitters can also be installed in composite and plastic
lids like Armourcast. An installation kit for installing an ORION pit
transmitter to the lid is available. To install an ORION transmitter to a
composite or plastic lid, thread the locking ring onto the top of the Orion
transmitter. Slide the transmitter into the mounting bracket. Thread
the locking ring so that the transmitter is held firmly in place.

RTR INSTALLATION
Install the RTR on the water meter and secure it using either the Torx®
screw or standard seal screw provided.
TESTING
Figure 4 Identification - Pit ORION Beneath Lid Installation
To install, drive rebar or stake into the ground prior to attaching Pit
ORION Transmitter to avoid damage. Once in the ground, secure the
mounting bracket on the appropriate rebar or pipe using the enclosed
washer, wing nut and hex head bolt provided with the bracket. Insert
the Pit ORION Transmitter through the bracket and thread the locking
nut to secure the ORION transmitter (see Figure 4). For best results
mount the Pit Transmitter approximately 1-2" below the underside 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 the
side of the vault. To install, mount the ‘C’ clamp on the side of the
vault. Select a location close to the top of the vault that will not be
damaged when access to the meter is required. Place the tape
supplied in the installation kit around the transmitter approximately
½” from the top of the transmitter. Thread the locking ring on the
transmitter until it makes contact with the tape. Insert the
transmitter into the ‘C’ clamp. Close the ‘C’ clamp and lock in place
so that the it closes over the tape and securely holds the
transmitter.
Once the pit ORION transmitter is securely installed and the RTR has
been mounted on the water meter, the ORION system is ready for
operation. Run water through the meter to increment the RTR 1/10th
of the test circle. Upon receiving the first digital signal from the RTR,
the transmitter will count the signal and begin its radio frequency
transmissions. No specific testing of the wiring or programming of the
transmitter is required. Reading each pit transmitter installed immediately
after installation will verify proper operation and reading performance.
ORION reading equipment only can be used to read installed ORION
transmitters.
LICENSE REQUIREMENTS
