HR-E® High Resolution Encoder INTRODUCTION Product Inspection and Unpacking Upon opening the shipping container, visually inspect the product and applicable accessories for any physical damage such as scratches, loose or broken parts, or any other sign of damage that may have occurred during shipment. NNOTE: If damage is found, request an inspection by the carrier’s agent within 48 hours of delivery and file a claim with the carrier. A claim for equipment damage in transit is the sole responsibility of the purchaser. License Requirements This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation of this device is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Any changes made by the user not approved by Badger Meter can void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. No license is required by the utility to operate an HR-E meter reading system. This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement. Compatibility The encoder is designed for use with all current Badger Meter Recordall® Disc, Turbo Series, Compound Series, Combo Series and Fire Service meters and assemblies. Each HR-E is clearly identified on the face of the dial with an assembly number, unit of measure and meter model. 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. CONNECTING AN ENCODER TO AN ENDPOINT PRODUCT OVERVIEW Description The HR-E high resolution encoder is a fully potted, eight-wheel absolute encoder. The encoder with glass lens is available factory pre-wired to Badger Meter AMR/AMI products, or may be spliced to other devices following the instructions. This version is permanently sealed to eliminate the intrusion of moisture, dirt, or other contaminants, and is suitable for installation in all environments, including meter pits subject to continuous submergence. The encoder with terminal screws features the same permanent sealing of the register's internal elements, but does not provide a moisture resistant enclosure. Therefore, it is suitable for indoor installation in a dry environment only, and is marked as such on the terminal screw cover. THE HR-E HIGH RESOLUTION ENCODER SHOULD ONLY BE CONNECTED TO A PRODUCT APPROVED BY BADGER METER. CONNECTION TO AN UNAPPROVED PRODUCT WILL VOID THE WARRANTY. Badger Meter encoders have a factory installed three-conductor cable (brown) for connection to the endpoint. If the wire is cut or broken and requires a field splice after the initial installation, connect like-color wires to maintain proper installation. Badger Meter wiring standards use the black wire as the negative (–) conductor and the red as the positive (+) conductor. Before proceeding with the installation, be certain that the meter type and size correspond, and that the proper encoder configuration has been supplied for the application.

HR-E® High Resolution Encoder Wire Connections The encoder 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 field splice connection, or fully prewired to an AMR/AMI endpoint. Splicing Considerations Splice connections made in pit environments require a pit field splice kit (62084-001), which can be ordered separately. See the Field Splice Kit Installation Instructions available on our website. ORION endpoints shipped factory pre-wired to a Badger Meter encoder require no splicing. All you do is...
