ORION® Fixed Network (SE) II Network Gateway Transceiver
AC Power
Badger Meter provides an Emerson AC-to-DC power supply with cord (66528-003) that plugs into a standard
three-prong 120V AC outlet. If you are powering the gateway directly via DC power, see "CDMA, GPRS or LAN with DC Power
Source" on page 20.

OTE:N If you replace a gateway, make sure to replace the power supply cord with the Emerson power supply cord at the
same time.
Lightning Arrestors
Lightning arrestors are recommended for all standard and
remote antenna installations. If lightning arrestors are
used, they should be placed directly between the gateway
enclosure and the antenna cable connector and grounded
per code. One lightning arrestor is shown in Figure 28. Arrows
indicate where other lightning arrestors should be attached.
Lightning arrestors for both the TX/RX antennas as well
as the backhaul antenna (if applicable), should meet the
following specifications:
• Operating bandwidth: 800…2400 MHz
• Impedance: 50 Ω
• Power handling (average): 2 W, minimum
• Environmental/weather rating suitable for
the location
• N male connector on the protected side;
N female connector on the surge side

Arrows indicate where additional lightning arrestors should
be attached.
