IDENTIFICATION

Badger Meter BadgerTouch® Pit Modules are available in a single

module configuration for easy adaptation to the complete

Badger Meter Recordall® Disc, Turbo, Compound, Combo and Fire

Series meters. The single pit design offers a BadgerTouch module

factory prewired to the High Resolution Encoder (HRE) or Absolute

Digital Encoder (ADE®).

Each encoder is clearly identified on the face of the dial with an

assembly number, unit of measure and meter model number. The

encoder contains a unique identification number shown on the

underside of the register cover. Interrogation of the encoder will

display the ID number and the meter reading. The BadgerTouch

Pit Module does not contain an identification number.

INSTALLATION

Unpacking

Carefully remove the prewired BadgerTouch Pit Module and

encoder(s) from the shipping carton and inspect the assembly for

any damage. Retain the contents of the installation kit for use in

securing the Pit Module to the pit lid cover.

Location

To ensure proper operation of the BadgerTouch on-site meter

reading system, the BadgerTouch Pit Module should be mounted

through a predrilled hole in the pit lid. Minimum hole diameter

required is 1-3/4". The Pit Module contains electronic circuitry that

is totally encapsulated to enhance reliable performance in most

locations, under most conditions.

Pit Module Installation

The BadgerTouch Pit Module (see Figure 1) is shipped prewired

to the encoder for single pit configurations. Due to the factory

prewired shipment, there is no splicing required. To prepare for the

Pit Module installation:

1. Disassemble the two locking nuts of the Pit Module and remove

the coil assembly.

2. From the top of the pit lid, insert the “mushroom” pit module

holder through the pit lid.

3. Tighten the pit module locking nut so that the module holder

ts snugly against the pit lid.

4. Insert the coil assembly, which is connected to the encoder lead

wire, into the Pit Module holder, and then tighten its locking nut

so that the coil assembly is fully seated in the top of the holder.

5. Excess wire should be coiled up inside the pit and the cable tied

to avoid any damage.

ENCODER INSTALLATION

Install the encoder on the water meter and secure it with the seal

screw provided.

TESTING

Once the BadgerTouch Pit Module is secured through the pit

lid and the encoder has been mounted on the water meter, the

BadgerTouch system is ready for operation. No specific testing

is required at the meter location regarding proper connections.

Interrogation of each module will facilitate proper coordination of

meters, modules and account. A VersaProbe or other equivalent

reading device should be used for interrogation of the installed

BadgerTouch modules.
