%, <br />Badger Meter <br />DESCRIPTION <br />HR I E High Resolution Encoder <br />Applications: The High Resolution Encoder (HR -E) is designed for <br />use with all current Recordall® Disc, Turbo, Compound, Combo and <br />Fire Series meters and assemblies.The HR -E provides connectivity <br />with Badger Meter ORION' and GALAXY® AMR/AMI endpoints, <br />BadgerTouch® modules and other AMR/AMI technology solutions <br />approved by Badger Meter. <br />Electronic Resolution: Encoder output from the HR -E includes <br />eight -dial resolution to AMR/AMI endpoints and the option of four, <br />five, six, seven or eight -dial resolution for touch applications. Refer <br />to tables on the next page for details. <br />Mounting: The HR -E in its shroud assembly uses a bayonet mount <br />compatible with all Recordall Disc, Turbo, Compound and Fire Series <br />meters and assemblies. The bayonet mount allows positioning <br />of the register in any of four orientations for visual reading <br />convenience. The HR -E can be removed from the meter without <br />disrupting water service. <br />Magnetic Drive: A direct -drive, high-strength magnetic coupling, <br />through the meter body to the wetted magnet, provides reliable <br />and dependable register coupling. <br />Local Indication: The HR -E face features an eight -dial mechanical <br />odometer wheel stack and a flow finder with a calibrated test circle. <br />Tamper -Resistant Features: Unauthorized removal of the HR -E <br />is inhibited by the option of a tamper detection seal wire screw, <br />tam per-resistantTORX® seal screw, or the proprietary tamper- <br />resistant keyed seal screw. Each can be installed at the meter site <br />or at the factory. <br />Construction: The housing of the HR -E is constructed of a <br />strengthened glass lens top and a corrosion -resistant metal bottom. <br />Internal construction materials are thermoplastic for long life and <br />high reliability. The encoder gearing is self-lubricating thermoplastic <br />to minimize friction and provide long, reliable life. The shroud <br />assembly is thermoplastic. <br />Temperature: The operating range of the HR -E is - 40...140° F <br />(-40 ... 60' C). The water meter should not be subjected to <br />temperatures below freezing. <br />Sealing:The HR -E encoder is permanently sealed to eliminate the <br />intrusion of moisture, dirt or other contaminants. The HR -E achieves <br />true water resistance due the unique adhesive technology used to <br />seal the glass dome to the corrosion -resistant metal bottom. Due to <br />this sealing process, the HR -E exceeds all applicable requirements <br />of AWWA Standard C707. With leak rates less than 10-6 cc/sec, <br />as tested by a helium mass spectrometer, the HR -E is suitable for <br />installation in all environments, including meter pits subject to <br />continuous submergence. <br />Wire Connections: The HR -E is available with an in-line connector <br />for easy connection and installation to AMR/AMI endpoints. It is <br />also available with a flying lead for a field splice connection or fully <br />prewired to an AMR/AMI endpoint. A terminal screw version of <br />the HR -E is also available. This version features a tamper-resistant <br />cap over the three -wire terminals.The HR -E with terminal screws is <br />ENC -DS -00236 -EN -02 (August 2015) <br />designed for indoor installations in protected environments such as <br />residential basements. <br />SPECIFICATIONS <br />Encoder Type <br />Straight reading, permanently sealed, <br />magnetic drive <br />Unit of Measure <br />U.S. Gallons, Cubic Feet, Cubic Meters, clearly <br />identified on encoder face <br />Number Wheels <br />Eight with 5/32 inch high numerals <br />Test Circle <br />360° circle with ten major increments with ten <br />divisions each <br />Weight <br />10 ounces <br />Humidity <br />0 ... 100%condensing when equipped with <br />potted lead wire, 0...95% non -condensing with <br />screw -terminal wire connections <br />Temperature <br />-40 ... 140o F (- 40...60° C) <br />Signal Output <br />Industry Standard ASCII Format <br />Visual Resolution <br />1/100th ofTest Circle <br />Electronic Resolution <br />8 -dial resolution for AMR/AMI; 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 -dial <br />resolution for BadgerTouch <br />Signal Type <br />3 -wire synchronous for AMR/AMI solutions <br />(red=clock/power, black=ground, green=data) <br />2 -wire asynchronous forTouch solutions <br />Power Source <br />External <br />Electrical:The electronic circuitry is designed to provide immunity <br />to electrical surges and transients per IEC1000-4-2, IEC7000-4-4. <br />Operation of the HR -E is dependent on the wire length limitations of <br />connected AMR/AMI equipment. <br />Operating Characteristics: The reading obtained by an <br />AMR/AMI device is sensed directly from the position of the <br />encoder's odometer using internal LED light paths to determine the <br />exact position of each number wheel. This technology eliminates <br />electromechanical contacts that could wear out, and provides <br />greater long-term performance. <br />Product Data Sheet <br />
