Retain the contents of the installation kit for use in making connections to the HRE or ADE transmission line.LocationTo ensure proper operation of the BadgerTouch on-site meter reading system, the BadgerTouch Pit Module should be mounted through a predrilled hole in the pit lid. Minimum hole diameter required is 1-3/4". The Pit Module contains electronic circuitry that is totally encapsulated to enhance reliable performance in most locations, under most conditions.Remote Module InstallationThe remote module contains two screw terminals that require connection to the red and black lead wires of the HRE or ADE cable. The BadgerTouch system is not polarity sensitive.Red WireBlack WireTe rminalsGreen WireWireAccessPo rtsFigure 2: Remote Module ConnectionLocate the position of the two mounting holes on the outside of the building by using the remote module as a template. The Remote Module should be located in an easily accessible location but should be within 75 feet maximum wire distance to the water meter and the encoder using Belden 9770 wire. Additional wire length and other wire types may affect performance.Drill a 3/16" wire entry hole at a suitable location in the building wall. Cut the protective gel cap off the end of the HRE or ADE cable. Feed the HRE or ADE cable from the water meter through the wall. Then cut the cable to proper length, making sure you have sufficient wire to make the connection to the Remote Module.Wire access to the Remote Module may be from the rear, or through a bottom or top access port. When utilizing rear access, allow approximately 8" of extra cable behind the Remote Module to facilitate making the wiring connections. If using the bottom or top access port, the thin plastic area of the outer shroud needs to be snapped off to expose the wire access port. Use a small wire cutting pliers to snap the plastic.BadgerTouch®Automated Meter Reading System Remote ModuleModels HREBT and ADEBTBTA-UM-00232-EN-04 (June 2013)Installation Data
Strip-back about 1 inch of the outer insulation of the HRE or ADE cable, being careful not to nick the inner conductors. Strip about 3/4" of insulation from the red and black wires; the green wire is not used and can be cut off.The two cable ties act as strain relief, as shown in Figure 3, to eliminate the possibility of breaking the wire connection at the terminals if the wire is accidentally pulled. Place the two plastic cable ties on the outer insulation of the field wire. Tighten securely and remove the excess cable tie with the wire cutting pliers.Figure 3: Strain Relief DetailTightly wrap one bare wire around one of the terminal screws in a clockwise direction. (Note: you can place either wire on either terminal since the device is not polarity sensitive). The terminal screw should then be tightened to firmly grip the wire between the screw head and terminal. Repeat this procedure with the other wire and the other terminal screw. Excess bare wire ends should be cut off.If the Remote Module is to be installed in a wet or humid environment, the terminals and exposed wires must be coated with an approved electrical insulating compound, such as GE RTV-162 Adhesive Sealant Dow Corning® 4 Electrical Insulating Compound or Novagard® G661. These compounds protect the terminals and wires against corrosion which otherwise might affect the performance and reliability of the BadgerTouch system.Fasten the Remote Module to the structure using the mounting hardware that is provided. The module must be securely mounted to a rigid surface; avoid mounting on loose siding or any type, as this may lead to wire breakage. Fasten the field wiring to the building structure and/or existing piping to assure a secure installation. Use standard fasteners or cable ties. If staples are used, be careful not to nick or cut into the outer insulation of the field wiring.If Additional Wire Length is RequiredThe HRE and ADE is supplied with a pre-determined length of wire. Should an additional length of wire be required, it is important to follow the instructions that are supplied with the HRE or ADE regarding splicing. Use Belden 9770 wire. Before proceeding with the installation, be certain that the appropriate field splice kit and gel splice crimping tool are available to assure proper installation and that electrical connections are secure and weather resistant.TESTINGAfter all connections have been made from the remote module to the remote cable and from the remote cable to the HRE or ADE, the testing of the complete BadgerTouch remote system can begin. To perform the test, a compatible reading device capable of reading Badger HRE, ADE or Sensus protocol can be used.

DESCRIPTIONApplications: The High Resolution Encoder (HRE) is designed for use with all current Recordall® Disc, Turbo, Compound, Combo and Fire Series meters and assemblies. The HRE provides connectivity with Badger Meter ORION®, GALAXY AMR/AMI endpoints, BadgerTouch® modules.and other AMR/AMI technology solutions approved by Badger Meter.Electronic Resolution: Digital output from the HRE includes the option of four, five, six, seven or eight dial resolution. Refer to tables on the next page for details.Mounting: The HRE in its shroud assembly uses a bayonet mount compatible with all Recordall Disc, Turbo, Compound and Fire Series meters and Assemblies. The bayonet mount allows positioning of the register in any of four orientations for visual reading convenience. The HRE can be removed from the meter without disrupting water service.Magnetic Drive: A direct-drive, high-strength magnetic coupling through the meter body to the wetted magnet provides reliable and dependable register coupling.Local Indication: The HRE face features an eight-digit mechanical odometer wheel stack and a flow finder with a calibrated test circle. Tamper-Resistant Features: Unauthorized removal of the register or encoder is inhibited by the option of a tamper detection seal wire screw, resistant TORX® tamper-resistant seal screw, or the proprietary tamper-resistant keyed seal screw. Each can be installed at the meter site or at the factory.Construction: The housing of the HRE is constructed of a strengthened glass lens top and a corrosion-resistant metal bottom. Internal construction materials are thermoplastic for long life and high reliability. The encoder gearing is self-lubricating thermoplastic to minimize friction and provide long, reliable life. The shroud assembly is thermoplastic.Temperature: The operating range of the HRE is – 40…140°F (– 40…60° C ). The water meter should not be subjected to temperatures below freezing.Sealing: The HRE achieves true water resistance due to the  adhesive technology used to seal the glass dome to the corrosion resistant metal bottom. Leak rates less than 10-6 cc/sec, as tested  by a helium mass spectrometer, are comparable to a true hermetic seal. Due to this unique sealing process, the HRE exceeds all applicable requirements of AWWA Standard C707 regarding moisture intrusion.Wire Connections: The HRE is provided as either a factory-wired assembly to an AMR/AMI endpoint or touch module or as an encoder with pre-sized wire harness available for connection in the field. Standardized wire lengths are 3, 10, 25 and 75 feet. The Badger Meter 308 in-line connector is an optional feature that allows connectivity to an AMR/AMI endpoint without the need for a field splice kit.

IDENTIFICATIONThe Badger Meter High Resolution Encoder (HRE) is available in two versions:• With a potted three-wire flying lead• With three terminal screwsThe HRE with glass lens is available factory pre-wired to  Badger Meter AMR/AMI products, or may be spliced to other devices following the instructions below. This version is permanently sealed to eliminate the intrusion of moisture, dirt, or other contaminants, and is suitable for installation in all environments, including meter pits subject to continuous submergence.The HRE with terminal screws features the same permanent sealing of the register's internal elements, but does not provide a moisture resistant enclosure. Therefore it is suitable for indoor installation in  a dry environment only, and is marked as such on the terminal screw cover.Available for all Recordall® Disc, Turbo, Compound, Combo and Fire Service Meters and Assemblies, each HRE is clearly identified on the face of the dial with an assembly number, unit of measure, and meter model.REQUIRED MATERIAL62084-001 Field Splice Kit Contents:• (3) 59761-001 Gel-Connectors•(2) 34776-001 Cable Ties• (1) 62085-001 Splice EnclosureSUGGESTED TOOLS•Screw Driver•59983-001 Gel-Splice Crimping Tool (Flying lead versions only)•59989-001 Coax Stripper• 59991-001 Wire Cutting Pliers•59993-001 Wire Stripper•TORX® DriverBefore proceeding with installation, be certain that the meter type and size correspond, and that the proper HRE configuration has been supplied for the application.THE HRE SHOULD ONLY BE CONNEC TED TO A BADGER METER APPROVED PRODUCT. CONNECTION TO AN UNAPPROVED PRODUCT WILL VOID THE HRE WARRANTY.CONNECTING THE HREYour HRE will have a factory installed three-conductor cable (brown) for connection to an AMR module.If the wire is cut or broken and requires a field splice after initial installa- tion, connect like color wires to maintain proper installation.To connect to an AMR module, strip approximately 1-1/2" of outer insulation sheath from the HRE 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.Strip the outer sheathIf the outer foil shield remained after removing the insulation sheath, unwind the outer foil shield on the cable ends and cut it off even with the outer sheath. Then cut the uninsulated shield drain wire even with the outer sheath. Inspect the inner signal wire insulation to insure it was not damaged; any slice in the insulation of the signal wires could result in a short between conductors resulting in a tamper condition on the AMR product.Sheath and outer foil removed Drain wire cut oInsert the like color conductors from each cable end into the Gel-Connector. Inspect that the conductors are through the crimp bar and all the way to the end of the Gel-Connector.Wires to end of gel connector Wires should be visible through the endArea to inspectArea to inspectHR | E High Resolution EncoderENC-UM-00237-EN-01 (June 2013) Installation Data
Crimp the Gel-Connector using the Crimping Tool making sure the plunger is fully seated so there is no visual gap between the cap’on the plunger and the shell of the Gel-Connector.Gel connector in the crimping tool Proper crimp—plunger fully seatedInspect the Gel-Connector to insure that the conductors did not back out during crimping and that the Gel-Connector plunger is fully seated.Plunger is fully seatedConductor is all the way throughConductors are still all the way through to the end of the  Gel-Connector and the plunger is fully seated.Repeat this procedure for the remaining like color conductors.If the wire is cut or broken and requires a field splice after initial installation, connect like colors to maintain proper installation.PIT INSTALLATIONSInsert the entire splice assembly into the filled splice tube  P/N 62085-001 as indicated in the figure below. Close the cover  with leads exiting alternate sides as indicated in Figure 2.Figure 2: Splice enclosure assemblyHRE WITH TERMINAL SCREWSOTE:N The HRE with optional terminal screws is suitable for indoor installation only.The terminal screws are identified by the letters “R”, “B”, and “G” (standing for Red, Black, and Green) molded into the screw cavity.Strip approximately 1-1/2" of outer insulation sheath using the  59989-001 coax stripping tool. Use caution in removing the outer sheath so that the inner wire insulation is not damaged.Unwind the outer foil shield from the cable and cut it off even with the outer sheath using the wire cutting pliers. Cut the uninsulated shield drain wire even with the outer sheath.Strip approximately 1/2" of insulation from the inner wires using the 59993-001 wire stripper. Use a screwdriver to loosen the terminal screws sufficiently to allow the bare wire ends to fit below the screw heads. Bend the bare wire ends into hook shapes that will closely fit around the shafts of the terminal screws, and hold the hooks around the screw shafts while tightening the screws with the screwdriver. Do not overtighten screws. The hooks should be oriented with the openings to the right, so that tightening the screws (by turning to the right) will tend to draw the wire closer to the screw.Place plastic cable tie P/N 34776-001 approximately 1/4" from end of outer insulation sheath. Tighten securely for strain relief. Remove excess cable tie. Ensure that the cable exits the terminal screw cavity via the opening on the right side of the cavity wall and that cable tie resides on interior of terminal cover. Place the cover over the terminal screw cavity and secure by tightening the Torx screw.TESTINGAfter connections are complete, test the entire installation including the HRE, wiring, and remote or pit module for proper operation in accordance with the instructions supplied with the module.Install the HRE on the water meter and secure it using the Torx  screw provided.LICENSE REQUIREMENTSThis device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
