IDENTIFICATION
The Badger Meter Absolute Digital Encoder (ADE) is available for all
remote and pit settings where a Badger Meter water meter can be
located. The ADE is permanently sealed to eliminate moisture, dirt, and
other contaminants to insure reliable operation in submerged or indoor
applications. As part of the foundation for Badger Meter's MRT
products, including ORION®, Badger® ERT®, BadgerTouchTM, and
other Badger approved AMR solutions, the ADE provides an output for
superior electronic resolution.
Available for all Recordall® Disc, Turbo, Compound and Fire Service
Meters, each ADE is clearly identified on the face of the dial with an
assembly number, unit of measure, and meter model (see figure 1.)

CONNECTING ADE
The ADE should only be connected to a Badger Meter approved
product. Connection to an unapproved product will void the
ADE warranty.
Your ADE will either have a factory installed two-conductor cable
(black) or a factory installed three-conductor cable (brown) for
connection to an AMR module.
If the wire is cut or broken on either a 2 or 3 wire ADE and requires a
field splice after initial installation, connect like color wires to maintain
proper installation.
To connect to an AMR module, strip approximately 1½” of outer
insulation sheath from the ADE and AMR module cables using the
59989-001 Coax Stripping Tool. Use caution in removing the outer
sheath so that the inner signal wire insulation is not damaged.
Unwind the outer foil shield from the ADE cable and cut it off even with
the outer sheath using the wire cutting pliers. For two conductor
cables, do not cut the uninsulated shield drain wire.
ADE WITH THREE WIRES (BROWN CABLE)
For connection to an ORION® Transmitter, verify the ADE has a brown
cable. Using the chart below, connect the ADE™ conductors to the
AMR module conductors using insulation displacement gel-filled
splices, P/N 59761-001 provided in the installation kit. Crimp the
cables completely using a parallel jaw crimper, P/N 59983-001.
For connection to an Itron® remote ERT®, verify that the ADE has a
brown cable and contains an ADE on the label. For more information
on the installation instructions for the Itron remote ERT, please refer
to Itron's Installation Remote ERT Modules 40W-1 and 50W-1.

If the wire is cut or broken and requires a field splice after
initial installation, connect like colors to maintain proper
installation.

001 as indicated in Figure 6. Close the cover with leads exiting alternate
sides as indicated in the drawing.
TESTING
After connections are complete, test the entire installation including the
ADE, wiring, and remote or pit module for proper operation in accor-
dance with the instructions supplied with the module.
Install the ADE on the water meter and secure it using the Torx screw
provided.

GEL-SPLICE
Figure 5. Splice Installation Diagram
ADE™ WITH TWO WIRES (BLACK CABLE)
Connect the ADE cable conductors to the AMR module wires using gel-
filled connectors, P/N 59761-001, provided in the installation kit. Crimp
the cables completely using a parallel jaw crimper such as Badger
Meter P/N 59983-001. Polarity must be observed when connecting the
ADE to the remote module. Badger Meter, Inc. wiring standards use
the black conductor as the negative (-) conductor and the red as the
positive (+) conductor.
*For field splice information, please refer to Itron Pit ERT®
Modules 40W-1 and 50W-1.
Place the two plastic cable ties P/N 34776-001 on wires and tighten
securely for strain relief. Remove excess cable tie with wire cut-
ting device.
