Badger Meter uses the Badger®-Radix®
system to display and process screens.
Please reference the document “Instructions
for Installing ORION Gas Meters Using the
Radix Programming Tool”.
The meter is now installed. On the Badger-
Radix you’ll see the next meter number and
the process starts again.
Step 5: Care must be taken when placing a
transmitter/index unit on the meter.
Before placing the transmitter/index on the
gas meter put four (4) supplied plugs into the
rear of the transmitter.
Step 7: There is some adjustment in the
position of the index plate. Make sure the
index is positioned so the shaft turns freely
about ½ turn.
Step 6: When mounting an ORION®
transmitter to a gas meter, make sure the gas
meter drive gear engages the transmitter drive
pawl. These two drive pawls must mate
without causing any binding or potential for
disengagement.
