Badger Meter Inc HREBT Manual De Usuario

The Badger Meter High Resolution Encoder (HRE) is available in two 

versions:

•

With a potted three-wire flying lead

•

With three terminal screws

The HRE with glass lens is available factory pre-wired to  

Badger Meter AMR/AMI products, or may be spliced to other devices 

following the instructions below. This version is permanently sealed 

to eliminate the intrusion of moisture, dirt, or other contaminants, 

and is suitable for installation in all environments, including meter 

pits subject to continuous submergence.

The HRE with terminal screws features the same permanent sealing 

of the register's internal elements, but does not provide a moisture 

resistant enclosure. Therefore it is suitable for indoor installation in  

a dry environment only, and is marked as such on the terminal 

screw cover.

Available for all Recordall® Disc, Turbo, Compound, Combo and Fire 

Service Meters and Assemblies, each HRE is clearly identified on 

the face of the dial with an assembly number, unit of measure, and 

meter model.

Before proceeding with installation, be certain that the meter type 

and size correspond, and that the proper HRE configuration has 

been supplied for the application.

Your HRE will have a factory installed three-conductor cable (brown) 

for connection to an AMR module.

If the wire is cut or broken and requires a field splice after 

initial installa- tion, connect like color wires to maintain proper 

installation.

To connect to an AMR module, strip approximately 1-1/2" of outer 

insulation sheath from the HRE and AMR module cables using the 

59989-001 Coax Stripping Tool. Use caution in removing the outer 

sheath so that the inner signal wire insulation is not damaged.

If the outer foil shield remained after removing the insulation 

sheath, unwind the outer foil shield on the cable ends and cut it 

off even with the outer sheath. Then cut the uninsulated shield 

drain wire even with the outer sheath. Inspect the inner signal wire 

insulation to insure it was not damaged; any slice in the insulation 

of the signal wires could result in a short between conductors 

resulting in a tamper condition on the AMR product.

Insert the like color conductors from each cable end into the Gel-

Connector. Inspect that the conductors are through the crimp bar 

and all the way to the end of the Gel-Connector.
