Audience and Purpose

The ORION Automated Meter Reading System for the Trimble Ranger 3 Installation and Operation Manual is intended to be

used by field technicians for collecting accurate utility meter readings from residential and commercial locations using the

Trimble Ranger 3 handheld computer.

NOT:N To provide the best solution for our customers, Badger Meter continually improves software programs and updates

this Installation and Operation Manual on a periodic basis to reflect upgrades. Therefore, some discrepancies may be

detected between the installed software and this manual.

System Overview

The Trimble Ranger 3 handheld computer is a flexible and easy-to-use tool which can be used with various meter reading

technologies. It provides utilities with a handheld interrogator that can be operated with a touch screen and a customized

keypad for data entry.

Equipped with the ORION Field Application meter reading software, the handheld can be used for reading and programming

endpoints and as a troubleshooting tool in the field. The handheld is compatible with ORION manual and touch read systems.

• The ORION SE (Smart Endpoint) is a full functioning two-way water endpoint for use in either mobile or fixed network

mode of operation. Once installed, ORION SE endpoints operate in mobile mode and automatically transition to

fixed network mode of operation when ORION network gateway transceivers and ReadCenter software are deployed.

ORION SE endpoints automatically transition to a backup mobile mode of operation if the network is disrupted for a

period of time.

NOT:N When in fixed network mode, the handheld does not receive transmissions from the ORION SE endpoint.

• The ORION ME (Migratable Endpoint) is a full functioning two-way water endpoint for mobile applications with the

capability of migrating to fixed network mode to support future utility growth. In addition to providing the current

reading, the two-way functionality of the ORION ME endpoint allows users to capture data profile information

wirelessly, without having to access the endpoint during the normal reading process.

• The ORION CE (Classic Endpoint) is a one-way endpoint designed for mobile meter reading. ORION CE endpoints

support data profile and may be transitioned to fixed network application through approved electric connectivity

partner solutions, or with strategic deployment of ORION gateway 4.0 and 2.0 receivers.
