ORION® Water Endpoints
Cellular LTE-M 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 15-minute interval read data and meter status
information. On a regular schedule (up to twice per day) the
endpoint then automatically broadcasts the information, including
endpoint status information, via the cellular network to the
BEACON® AMA software.
Activation: All ORION Cellular LTE-M endpoints are shipped
in an inactive, non-transmitting state. The endpoints offer a
Smart Activation feature. After installation, the endpoint begins
broadcasting data when the encoder senses the first usage
of water. No field programming or special tools are required.
Alternatively, the Badger Meter IR Communication Device can be
used to activate the endpoint and verify the encoder connection.
Successful endpoint function can be confirmed through a web app
demonstrating that communication has been verified to both the
encoder and 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 securely transported to the BEACON AMA software
via Virtual Private Network (VPN) using 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 LTE endpoints comply with Part 15, Part 22, Part 24, and Part 27 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).
Transportation: WARNING: The operation of transmitters and receivers on airlines is strictly prohibited by the Federal Aviation Administration. As such, the shipping of
radios and endpoints via air is prohibited. Please follow all Badger Meter return and/or shipping procedures to prevent exposure to liability.
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.
