ORION® Water Endpoints
Cellular LTE Endpoint
Product Data Sheet
DESCRIPTION
The ORION® Cellular endpoint is an innovative, two-way water
endpoint that utilizes existing cellular infrastructure to efficiently
and securely deliver meter reading data to the utility via the
reliable cellular network.
The Cellular endpoint is a member of the time-tested ORION family
of products from Badger Meter, designed for maximum flexibility.
Since 2002, the ORION product family has provided comprehensive
Advanced Metering Analytics (AMA) for interval meter reading and
data capture using both one-way and two-way communications.
FUNCTIONALITY
Operation: The endpoint communicates with the encoder
and captures readings and meter status information. At a
predetermined interval, the endpoint broadcasts readings, status,
and event data via the cellular network, and the information is
captured and analyzed using BEACON AMA software.
Activation: All ORION Cellular LTE endpoints are shipped in an
inactive, non-transmitting state. The endpoints offer a Smart
Activation feature. After the endpoint is installed, it begins
broadcasting data when the encoder senses the first usage of
water. No field programming or tools are required to activate
the endpoint. Alternatively, an IR fob can be used to activate
the endpoint and verify the encoder connection. With proper
installation, successful endpoint function can be confirmed
through a web app demonstrating that communication has been
verified to both the encoder and to the network.
Broadcast Mode: The endpoint broadcasts fixed network reading
data through the secure existing cellular network within the service
area. The endpoint also transmits a mobile message to support
troubleshooting in the field.
Data Storage: The endpoint stores 42 days of 15-minute data.
Output Message: The endpoint broadcasts its unique serial
number, meter reading data, and applicable status indicators.
Each message is encrypted to meet Advanced Encryption Standard
(AES) 256.
APPLICATION
Configurations: The endpoint is a multi-purpose endpoint that
can be deployed in indoor, outdoor and pit applications. The
electronics and battery assembly are fully encapsulated in epoxy
for environmental integrity. The endpoint is available with a
connector assembly for ease of installation.
Meter Compatibility: When attached to a Badger Meter high
resolution encoder, the endpoint is compatible with all current
Badger Meter Recordall® Disc, Turbo Series, Compound Series,
Combo Series and Fire Service meters and assemblies, and with
E-Series® Ultrasonic, E-Series® Ultrasonic Plus, and M-Series®
Electromagnetic flow meters.
Encoder Compatibility: The endpoint is suitable for use with
Badger Meter high resolution encoders as well as the following
Badger Meter approved three-wire encoder registers that have
a manufacture date of 2005 or newer, are programmed into
the AMR/AMI three-wire output mode, and have three-wires
connected: Elster InVISION and ScanCoder® encoders and evoQ4
meter (encoder output); Hersey® Translator; Master Meter® Octave®
Ultrasonic meter encoder output; Metron-Farnier Hawkeye; Mueller
Systems 420 Solid State Register (SSR) LCD; Neptune® ProRead,
E-Coder® and ARB-V®; and Sensus® Electronic Register encoder
(ECR) and ICE.

License Requirements: ORION Cellular endpoints comply with Part 15, Part 22 and Part 24 of the FCC Rules. No license is required by the utility to operate an ORION meter
reading system. This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s).
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may
not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux
conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi,
même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
Transportation: The Federal Aviation Administration prohibits operating transmitters and receivers on all commercial aircraft. The ORION Cellular endpoint is
considered an operating transmitter and cannot be shipped by air.
Warning: To reduce the possibility of electrical re and shock hazards, never connect the cable from the endpoint to any electrical supply source. The endpoint
cable provides SELV low voltage limited energy power to the load and should only be connected to passive elements of a water meter register.
Caution: The endpoint batteries are not replaceable. Users should make no attempt to replace the batteries.
Changes or modications to the equipment that are not expressly approved by Badger Meter could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
