~ Badger Meter <br />OR I O N ® Water Endp oints <br />Cellular Endpoint <br />DESCRIPTION <br />The ORION " Cellular endpoint is an innovative, two-way water <br />endpoint that utilizes existing cellular infrastructure to efficiently <br />and securely deliver meter reading data to the utility via the <br />reliable cellular network. <br />The Cellular endpoint is a member of the time-tested ORION family <br />of products from Badger Meter, designed for maximum flexibility. <br />Since 2002, the ORION product family has provided comprehensive <br />Advanced Metering Analytics (AMA) for interval meter reading and <br />data capture using both one-way and two-way communications. <br />FUNCTIONALITY <br />Operation: The ORION Cellular endpoint communicates with the <br />encoder and captures readings and meter status information. At <br />a predetermined interval, the endpoint broadcasts this data via <br />the cellular network and the information is captured and analyzed <br />using BEACON AMA software. <br />Activation: All ORION endpoints are shipped in an inactive, <br />non-transmitting state. ORION Cellular endpoints are designed <br />for easy activation and installation with either the smartphone <br />installation application orTrimble'" Ranger handheld. <br />Broadcast Mode:The ORION Cellular endpoint broadcasts fixed <br />network reading data through the secure existing cellular network <br />within the service area. <br />Data Profiling: To build data redundancy within the system, the <br />ORION Cellular endpoint stores 120 days of hourly data for capture <br />via two-way communication. <br />Output Message: The ORION Cellular endpoint broadcasts its <br />unique serial number, current meter reading and applicable <br />status indicators. Each message is encrypted to meet AES 256 <br />encryption standards. <br />ORI-DS-00S61-EN-08 (June 201 S) <br />APPLICATION <br />Configurations: The ORION Cellular endpoint is a mUlti-purpose <br />endpoint that can be deployed in indoor, outdoor and pit <br />applications. The endpoint electronics and battery assembly are <br />fully encapsulated in epoxy for environmental integrity. <br />The endpoint is available with the connector assembly for ease <br />of installation. <br />Meter Compatibility: When attached to a Badger Meter <br />high resolution encoder, the ORION Cellular endpoint is <br />compatible with all current Badger Meter Recordall '" Disc, Turbo <br />Series, Compound Series, Combo Series and Fire Service meters <br />and assemblies, and with E-Series " Ultrasonic and M-Series'" <br />Electromagnetic Flow meters. <br />Encoder Compatibility: The ORION Cellular endpoint is suitable <br />for use with Badger Meter high resolution encoders as well as the <br />following Badger Meter approved three-wire encoder registers <br />that have a manufacture date of 2000 or newer, are programmed <br />into the AMR/AMI three-wire output mode and have three-wires <br />connected: Elster InVISION and ScanCoder'" encoders and evoQ4 <br />meter (encoder output); Hersey'" Translator; Master Meter'" Octave" <br />Ultrasonic meter encoder output; Metron-Farnier Hawkeye; <br />Neptune" ProRead, E-Coder" and ARB-V"; and Sensus " Electronic <br />Register encoder (ECR) and ICE. <br />Product Data Sheet
