HR | E LCD Encoder DESCRIPTION Applications: The High Resolution Encoder (HR-E LCD) is a fully electronic, solid-state encoder with no moving parts. It is designed for use with all current Badger Meter Recordall® Disc, Turbo Series, Compound Series, Combo Series and Fire Service meters and assemblies. The HR-E LCD provides connectivity with Badger Meter ORION® and GALAXY® AMR/AMI endpoints and other AMR/AMI technology solutions approved by Badger Meter. Note: For more detailed information, refer to the user manual. Field Programmable: The HR-E LCD comes standard as factory-programmed to customer specifications, with the option for field-programming the unit of measure, meter type, meter model, billing units, and rate-of-flow time and units. Programming is performed through the IR port via a computer. Electronic Resolution: Encoded output from the HR-E LCD includes nine-digit resolution. Status Indicators: Status indicators are sent as part of the encoder extended message to AMR/AMI systems such as ORION ME and SE endpoints that are capable of receiving an extended message. The details can also be read through an IR interface. Mounting: Icons on the HR-E LCD encoder face indicate encoder status and alarm conditions. The fully potted encoder assembly has a bayonet mount compatible with all Recordall Disc, Turbo Series, Compound Series, Combo Series and Fire Series meters and assemblies. The bayonet mount positions the encoder in any of four orientations for visual reading convenience. The HR-E LCD can be removed from the meter without disrupting water service. Magnetic Drive Communication: The HR-E LCD detects movement of the wet side meter magnet with magnetic sensors to provide reliable and dependable encoded communication. Tamper-resistant Features: Unauthorized removal of the HR-E LCD is inhibited by a tamper-resistant Torx seal screw. Torx seal screws are provided as standard accessories. Optional proprietary tamper-proof screws are also available. Magnetic sensors detect and report an attempted encoder removal. In addition, the HR-E LCD encoder is resistant to magnetic tampering. The encoder detects an attempted tamper—as well as encoder removal—and sends a tamper alarm in either situation. Approved endpoints that are capable of receiving the alarms, such as ORION ME and SE can then report the tamper condition to the meter reading software.

Construction: The housing of the HR-E LCD is constructed of an engineered polymer enclosure and a polycarbonate lens. For long-term performance, the enclosure is fully encapsulated, weatherproof, and UV-resistant to withstand harsh environments and to protect the electronics in flooded or submerged pit applications. An epoxy potting (patent pending) comprises the encoder bottom. Due to this unique sealing, the HR-E LCD exceeds all applicable requirements of AWWA Standard C706 and C707. Wire Connections: The HR-E LCD is available with an in-line connector for easy connection and installation...
