IDENTIFICATION
ORION integral transmitters for Gas Meters are designed for use with a variety of major
brands of hardcase gas meters. Although the basic design of the transmitter is the same,
slight variations are required to adapt the transmitter to different gas meter
configurations. A model number code that corresponds to the different makes and models
of gas meters is used to identify each transmitter relative to the gas meter on which it is to
be used. Refer to the identification table listed within this document.
