 transmission it will forward the reading, and the RP Software will display it on 

the list.   The most recent transmission will be shown at the top of the list.  This will 
continue for 30 seconds. 
 
This function is helpful in determining a good place to mount the Repeater.  If you are 
interested in verifying that the Repeater can hear the selected transmitters, place the 
Repeater in the location and perform the Listen function.  If those transmitters are all 
shown on the list, you can then mount the Repeater permanently in the selected location. 
 
 

 
In choosing a location for the Repeater, you must also verify that the Repeater’s signal 
reaches the area where you intend to receive the meter readings.  To test this, the 
Repeater has a Constant Transmit function.  When activated, the Repeater will, after a 
specified wait time, transmit the meter reading for one transmitter over and over again for 
30 seconds. 
 
First, choose the transmitter serial number you would like to be repeated by clicking on 
the down arrow of the Transmitter SN field and choosing the number.  Next choose the 
amount of time for the Repeater to wait before transmitting by clicking the down arrow 
of the Transmit Delay field and choosing the time in seconds.  Then choose the amount 
of Transmit Time you’d like in the same manner.  When you are ready to perform the 
Constant Transmit function, click on the Transmit button. 
 
The Repeater will begin counting down the number of seconds as chosen in the Transmit 
Delay field.  Once the countdown is completed, the Repeater will transmit the meter 
reading for the chosen serial number over and over again for the amount of time chosen 
by the Transmit Time field.  This allows you verify that the repeated signal is reaching 
the area you’d like. 
 
 
 

A Badger ORION Repeater must be programmed in the field in order to activate the 
device.  Once the Badger ORION transmitter is installed, a Badger ORION Repeater can 
be installed within range of the transmitter to increase the performance. 
 
Badger ORION Repeaters can be easily programmed in the field using either the Badger 
ORION Mobile Reading Laptop or Badger
