Construction: All ORION Cellular endpoints are housed in an 

engineered polymer enclosure with an ORION RF board, battery 

and antenna. To ensure long-term performance, the enclosure is 

fully potted to withstand harsh environments and to protect the 

electronics in flooded or submerged pit applications.  

Wire Connections: ORION Cellular endpoints are available with 

in-line connectors (Twist Tight or Nicor®) for easy installation and 

connection to compatible encoders/meters. The endpoints are also 

available with flying leads for field splice connections. Other wire 

connection configurations may be available upon request.

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.

To reduce the possibility of electrical fire 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 modifications to the equipment that are not expressly approved by Badger Meter could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
