APPLICATIONS: The assembled Badger

®

 RTR

®

 ORION

®

 Integral  consists

of the Recordall

®

 Transmitter Register (RTR) in a unique shroud which

incorporates the ORION RF Module.  When assembled, the product is fully
configured for use with Recordall disc series, turbo series and compound
series water meters, (excluding Turbo I meter) which are installed as indoor
meter settings, i.e., in basements, utility rooms, etc.  (This product is not
designed for vault or meter pit installations which are subject to flooding
or submergence.) Remote units can be also installed with Fire Service
meters and assemblies.

The assembled Integral RTR-ORION is designed to communicate with
Badger interrogation devices, including handheld and mobile.

The RTR-Remote ORION consists of the 3-wire (brown) RTR assembly
wired to the ORION Remote.  This product is used in inside meter locations
where the integral RTR-ORION assembly is not suitable, or in outside
applications.

OPERATION: The RTR provides a digital signal from Badger Meter's
patented piezoelectric solid-state switch. This signal has the characteristics
of an open drain Field Effect Transistor (FET) and has no electrical
contacts to stick, wear or corrode.  It is fully compatible with the input
circuitry of the ORION RF Module. The ORION Integral and Remote
Modules use the RF bubble-up (broadcast) mode.

RESOLUTION: Digital output from the RTR has resolution of 1/10th of the
register test circle.  Output resolution of the ERT may vary with meter size.
The resolution table on the back page of this technical brief lists output
resolution for all Recordall meter applications.

LEAK DETECTION: The Orion system provides optional leak detection
notification when the meter is read.  The system reports leak detection
when a two hour window of no usage is found within a 24 hour time period.
The system automatically resets when the next two hour window of no
usage is found.

MOUNTING: The RTR-Integral ORION in its shroud assembly uses a
bayonet connection compatible with all Recordall

®

 Disc, Turbo and

Compound Series meters.  A TORX

®

 seal screw is provided to allow

positioning and to secure the register to the meter body in a tamper
resistant mode. The RTR-ORION can be removed from the meter without
disrupting water service.

MAGNETIC DRIVE: Direct drive, high-strength, magnetic coupling through
the meter body to the wetted magnet provides reliable and dependable
register coupling.

SEALED REGISTER: The RTR local register consists of a six-digit straight-
reading mechanical odometer totalizer, a 360° test circle with sweep hand,
and a flow finder to detect leaks. The register gearing is self-lubricating,
thermoplastic to minimize friction and provide long, reliable life. Permanent
sealing eliminates moisture, dirt, and other contaminants.

TAMPER-PROOF FEATURES: Removal of the RTR-Integral ORION from
the meter can be minimized by using a tamper resistant TORX seal screw.
TORX seal screws are provided as standard accessories with the RTR.
Optional tamper detection seal wire screws are also available.

CUT WIRE TAMPER INDICATION: The ORION remote/integral RF Module
has the capability to detect a tamper should it exist. Proper setup in ORION
Reading System software needed.

CONSTRUCTION: The housing of the RTR is constructed of a tempered
glass lens top and a copper alloy metal bottom. Internal construction
materials are thermoplastic for long-life and high reliability. The integrity
of the adhesive seal joining the glass top to the metal base provide
unmatched protection in water meter applications. A corrosion and tamper
resistant TORX seal screw is provided to secure the RTR to the meter.  The
shroud assembly is polycarbonate.

TEMPERATURE:  The operating range of the RTR is -40°C to 49°C (-40°F
to 120°F). The operating range of the Integral and Remote ORION
Modules is -40°C to 60°C (-40°F to 140°F). The water meter should not
be subjected to temperatures below freezing.

MOISTURE:  The RTR-Integral ORION is designed for dry applications,
i.e., meters located in basements, utility rooms, etc.  The RTR-remote
ORION can be mounted indoors or outdoors where it is not subjected to
submergence.  It is not intended for outdoor meter pits or vaults.
