All ORION Universal endpoints are shipped from the factory pre-programmed and can be connected to any compatible 

encoder. Electronic readings broadcast from the ORION Universal endpoint contain the active number wheels programmed 

into the encoder, with a maximum of six digits. 
To identify a ORION pit or remote Universal 1 endpoint, ‘Univ’ has been added to the end of the ORION serial number. In addition, 

all Universal endpoints are shipped factory programmed in a sleep mode with a standard cable (10 feet for remotes and three 

feet for pit applications) for connection to a compatible Sensus, Neptune, Hersey or Elster AMCo

 encoder. ORION Universal  

endpoints begin broadcasting their readings as soon as they are awakened – either by running consumption through the 

encoder it is connected to or by using the infrared communication program on the ORION reading equipment. If the endpoint 

is awakened by running consumption, note that it may take several hours for the ORION Universal endpoint to begin 

broadcasting. This is due to the ORION Universal endpoint update schedule, which has the endpoint updating its reading 

from the encoder once an hour.

Carefully remove the ORION Universal endpoint from the shipping carton and inspect the unit for damage. Retain the 

contents of the installation kit for use in mounting and installing the endpoint in the field.  

The ORION Universal endpoint is a three-wire metering endpoint device that requires connection to an encoder to complete 

the assembly.  All three wires must be connected to complete an installation.  

The ORION Universal endpoint connection can be made to either existing wires from the encoder or directly to the terminal 

screws of the encoder, depending on the application and manufacturer. If making a connection to existing wires use the 

installation kit provided and follow the instructions below.

To connect an encoder with existing wires to a ORION Universal endpoint, strip approximately 1 ½ inches of outer insulation 

sheath from the encoder and endpoint cables using the stripping tool. We recommend using part number 59989-001 Coax 

Stripper. Use caution when removing the outer sheath so that the inner signal wire insulation is not nicked or damaged.

Unwind the outer foil shield from the endpoint cable and cut it off even with the outer sheath using a cutting device.
