ORION Metal Lid endpoints are shipped in an inactive, non-transmitting state known as “Pause” mode . 

Endpoints shipped via air are shipped in “Stop” (hard sleep) mode and must be activated via infrared (IR) 

communication using an ORION handheld or mobile reading system and the ORION Endpoint Utility software .

When an RTR is mounted on the water meter, and the ORION Metal Lid endpoint is connected to the RTR for the first time, 

the endpoint will register a tamper, which must be cleared before the ORION system is ready for operation . Use the ORION 

handheld or mobile meter reading equipment to program and set the endpoint odometer value . 

When an HR-E or ADE is mounted on the water meter, and the ORION endpoint connected to the encoder is securely installed, 

the ORION system is ready for operation . The endpoint will turn on with water usage . It requires up to one fifteen minute 

reading interval where consumption changes the electronic reading . For example, with an ORION endpoint connected to 

an eight-dial HR-E or six-dial ADE, 

the encoder must detect consumption of 10 gallons over a fifteen minute reading period  

before the endpoint will begin broadcasting data . Once the endpoint begins broadcasting, it will update hourly based on the 

encoder odometer reading . No specific wire testing or endpoint programming is required . 

Reading an ORION endpoint with the ORION handheld or mobile meter reading equipment immediately after 

installation verifies proper operation and reading performance . 

When an HR-ELCD encoder is mounted on the water meter, or when an E-Series Ultrasonic meter is installed, and the ORION 

endpoint connected to the encoder or E-Series Ultrasonic meter is securely installed, the ORION system is ready for operation . 

The endpoint will turn on with water usage . When using consumption, the endpoint requires one fifteen minute interval 

where the least significant digit on the encoder changes before it will begin broadcasting data . Once the endpoint has begun 

broadcasting, it will update hourly based on the HR-E LCD encoder or High Resolution E-Series Ultrasonic meter odometer 

reading . No specific wire testing or endpoint programming is required . 

Reading an ORION endpoint with the ORION handheld or mobile meter reading equipment immediately after 

installation verifies proper operation and reading performance . 

Before leaving the installation site, the installer can use an ORION handheld or mobile reading system to confirm the endpoint 

wiring has been done correctly and that the endpoint is broadcasting RF data for reading . See the appropriate handheld or 

mobile reading system user manuals for more information .
