ORION® Water Endpoints
Cellular LTE Endpoint 
Product Data Sheet
DESCRIPTION 
The ORION® Cellular endpoint is an innovative, two-way water 
endpoint that utilizes existing cellular infrastructure to efficiently 
and securely deliver meter reading data to the utility via the 
reliable cellular network. 
The Cellular endpoint is a member of the time-tested ORION family 
of products from Badger Meter, designed for maximum flexibility. 
Since 2002, the ORION product family has provided comprehensive 
Advanced Metering Analytics (AMA) for interval meter reading and 
data capture using both one-way and two-way communications. 
FUNCTIONALITY
Operation: The endpoint communicates with the encoder 
and captures readings and meter status information. At a 
predetermined interval, the endpoint broadcasts readings, status, 
and event data via the cellular network, and the information is 
captured and analyzed using BEACON AMA software.
Activation: All ORION Cellular LTE endpoints are shipped in an 
inactive, non-transmitting state. The endpoints offer a Smart 
Activation feature. After the endpoint is installed, it begins 
broadcasting data when the encoder senses the first usage of 
water. No field programming or tools are required to activate 
the endpoint. Alternatively, an IR fob can be used to activate 
the endpoint and verify the encoder connection. With proper 
installation, successful endpoint function can be confirmed 
through a web app demonstrating that communication has been 
verified to both the encoder and to the network.
Broadcast Mode: The endpoint broadcasts fixed network reading 
data through the secure existing cellular network within the service 
area. The endpoint also transmits a mobile message to support 
troubleshooting in the field. 
Data Storage: The endpoint stores 42 days of 15-minute data. 
Output Message: The endpoint broadcasts its unique serial 
number, meter reading data, and applicable status indicators.  
Each message is encrypted to meet Advanced Encryption Standard 
(AES) 256.
APPLICATION
Configurations: The endpoint is a multi-purpose endpoint that 
can be deployed in indoor, outdoor and pit applications. The 
electronics and battery assembly are fully encapsulated in epoxy 
for environmental integrity. The endpoint is available with a 
connector assembly for ease of installation. 
Meter Compatibility: When attached to a Badger Meter high 
resolution encoder, the endpoint is compatible with all current 
Badger Meter Recordall® Disc, Turbo Series, Compound Series, 
Combo Series and Fire Service meters and assemblies, and with 
E-Series® Ultrasonic, E-Series® Ultrasonic Plus, and M-Series® 
Electromagnetic flow meters. 
Encoder Compatibility: The endpoint is suitable for use with 
Badger Meter high resolution encoders as well as the following 
Badger Meter approved three-wire encoder registers that have 
a manufacture date of 2005 or newer, are programmed into 
the AMR/AMI three-wire output mode, and have three-wires 
connected: Elster InVISION and ScanCoder® encoders and evoQ4 
meter (encoder output); Hersey® Translator; Master Meter® Octave® 
Ultrasonic meter encoder output; Metron-Farnier Hawkeye; Mueller 
Systems 420 Solid State Register (SSR) LCD; Neptune® ProRead, 
E-Coder® and ARB-V®; and Sensus® Electronic Register encoder 
(ECR) and ICE.
