To install, drive rebar or stake into the ground prior to attaching Pit
ORION Transmitter to avoid damage. Once in the ground, secure the
mounting bracket on the appropriate rebar or pipe using the enclosed
washer, wing nut and hex head bolt provided with the bracket.  Insert
the Pit ORION Transmitter through the bracket and thread the locking
nut to secure the ORION transmitter (see Figure 4).  For best results
mount the Pit Transmitter approximately 1-2" below the under-
side of the lid.

If installation of the ORION pit transmitter will occur in a deep vault,
Badger offers a kit that can be used to mount the transmitter to the
side of the vault.  To install, mount the ‘C’ clamp on the side of the
vault.  Select a location close to the top of the vault that will not be
damaged when access to the meter is required.  Place the tape
supplied in the installation kit around the transmitter approximately
½” from the top of the transmitter.  Thread the locking ring on the
transmitter until it makes contact with the tape.  Insert the
transmitter into the ‘C’ clamp.  Close the ‘C’ clamp and lock in place
so that the it closes over the tape and securely holds the
transmitter.

ORION pit transmitters can also be installed in composite and plastic
lids like Armourcast.  An installation kit for installing an ORION pit
transmitter to the lid is available.  To install an ORION transmitter to a
composite or plastic lid, thread the locking ring onto the top of the Orion
transmitter.  Slide the transmitter into the mounting bracket.  Thread
the locking ring so that the transmitter is held firmly in place.

Install the RTR on the water meter and secure it using either the Torx

®

screw or standard seal screw provided.

Once the pit ORION transmitter is securely installed and the RTR has
been mounted on the water meter, the ORION system is ready for
operation. Run water through the meter to increment the RTR 1/10

th

of the test circle. Upon receiving the first digital signal from the RTR,
the transmitter will count the signal and begin its radio frequency
transmissions.  No specific testing of the wiring or programming of the
transmitter is required.  Reading each pit transmitter installed immediately
after installation will verify proper operation and reading performance.
ORION reading equipment only can be used to read installed ORION
transmitters.
