Using the charts below, connect the ORION Universal 1 endpoint to an approved encoder according to the following guide 

lines. Verify the endpoint serial number prior to completing the wiring set up.

*Due to the customized, factory wire configurations of the Hersey translator, please contact Badger Meter for proper wiring 

guidelines. 

**A separate ORION endpoint is available for connectivity to the Neptune ARB-V encoder.

Connect the encoder cable wires to the ORION Universal endpoint wires using the insulation gel connectors provided in the 

installation kit. Refer to the chart to determine which wires need to be connected to complete an installation.  The ORION 

system was designed as a three-wire AMR system. 

The ORION system offers connectivity to any of the mechanical/absolute encoder registers listed above, with a manufacture 

date between 2000 to the present, as long as the encoder is programmed into the three-wire output mode for AMR and has 

three wires connected to it. Encoder registers that are currently in two-wire mode of operation will require programming 

by the Utility, including registers that support auto two or three wire detection systems that do not automatically switch to 

three-wire mode of operation once a compatible endpoint is connected for ORION connectivity.

Do not strip any insulation from the ends of the wires before you push them into the connector.

Push the wires that are to be connected together as far as possible into the connector.

Using the required Gel Splice Crimping Tool, Badger Meter number 59983-001, place the connector with the wires into the 

jaws of the crimping tool.
