HR | E High Resolution Encoder DESCRIPTION Applications: The High Resolution Encoder (HR-E) is designed for use with all current Recordall® Disc, Turbo, Compound, Combo and Fire Series meters and assemblies. The HR-E provides connectivity with Badger Meter ORION® and GALAXY® AMR/AMI endpoints, BadgerTouch® modules and other AMR/AMI technology solutions approved by Badger Meter. Electronic Resolution: Encoder output from the HR-E includes eight-dial resolution to AMR/AMI endpoints and the option of four, five, six, seven or eight-dial resolution for touch applications. Refer to tables on the next page for details. Mounting: The HR-E in its shroud assembly uses a bayonet mount compatible with all Recordall Disc, Turbo, Compound and Fire Series meters and assemblies. The bayonet mount allows positioning of the register in any of four orientations for visual reading convenience. The HR-E can be removed from the meter without disrupting water service. Magnetic Drive: A direct-drive, high-strength magnetic coupling, through the meter body to the wetted magnet, provides reliable and dependable register coupling. Local Indication: The HR-E face features an eight-dial mechanical odometer wheel stack and a flow finder with a calibrated test circle. Tamper-Resistant Features: Unauthorized removal of the HR-E is inhibited by the option of a tamper detection seal wire screw, tamper-resistant TORX® seal screw, or the proprietary tamperresistant keyed seal screw. Each can be installed at the meter site or at the factory. Construction: The housing of the HR-E is constructed of a strengthened glass lens top and a corrosion-resistant metal bottom. Internal construction materials are thermoplastic for long life and high reliability. The encoder gearing is self-lubricating thermoplastic to minimize friction and provide long, reliable life. The shroud assembly is thermoplastic. Temperature: The operating range of the HR-E is – 40…140° F (– 40…60° C ). The water meter should not be subjected to temperatures below freezing. Sealing: The HR-E encoder is permanently sealed to eliminate the intrusion of moisture, dirt or other contaminants. The HR-E achieves true water resistance due the unique adhesive technology used to seal the glass dome to the corrosion-resistant metal bottom. Due to this sealing process, the HR-E exceeds all applicable requirements of AWWA Standard C707. With leak rates less than 10-6 cc/sec, as tested by a helium mass spectrometer, the HR-E is suitable for installation in all environments, including meter pits subject to continuous submergence. Wire Connections: The HR-E is available with an in-line connector for easy connection and installation to AMR/AMI endpoints. It is also available with a flying lead for a field splice connection or fully prewired to an AMR/AMI endpoint. A terminal screw version of the HR-E is also available. This version features a tamper-resistant cap over the three-wire terminals. The HR-E with terminal screws is ENC-DS-00236-EN-02 (August 2015) designed for indoor installations in protected environments such as residential basements.

Operation of the HR-E is dependent on the wire length limitations of connected AMR/AMI equipment. Operating Characteristics: The reading obtained by an AMR/AMI device is sensed directly from the position of the encoder’s odometer using internal LED light paths to determine the exact position of each number wheel. This technology eliminates electromechanical contacts that could wear out, and provides greater long-term performance. Product Data Sheet
