ORION endpoints can also be installed in composite and plastic lids with an integrated hanger for AMR/AMI endpoints. An 

installation kit for installing an ORION pit endpoint to the lid is available. 

To install an ORION endpoint to a composite or plastic lid, follow these steps.

1.  Thread the lock nut onto the top of the ORION endpoint as shown. 
2.  Slide the endpoint into the lid bracket. 
3.  Tighten the lock nut so that the endpoint is held firmly in place.

When installation of the ORION endpoint occurs in a deep vault, Badger Meter offers a kit that can be used to mount the 

endpoint to the side of the vault. 

To install an ORION endpoint in a deep vault, follow these steps.

1.  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. 

2.  Place the neoprene spacer supplied in the installation kit around the endpoint, approximately ½ inch from the top 

of the endpoint. 

3.  Thread the locking ring on the endpoint until it makes contact with the neoprene spacer as shown in Figure 6. 
4.  Insert the endpoint into the C-clamp as shown. 
5.  Close the C-clamp and lock it in place so that it closes over the neoprene spacer and securely holds the endpoint.

NOTE: ORION radio endpoints perform best with a clear line of sight. Performance varies by installation and lid  

construction.
