Integral Endpoint Installation

ORI-UM-00025-EN-24

2. Remove the endpoint wire under the

breakaway plate.

• Turn the endpoint/encoder assembly over.

• Grasp the pull tab located to the right of the

encoder seal screw with pliers (Figure 51). Then

pull and remove the bottom breakaway plate

from the housing to expose the wire. The plate is

scored to facilitate removal.

• With your fingers, remove the three feet of

endpoint wire from the housing.

OTE:N The wire is attached to the endpoint.

3. Rotate the endpoint counter-clockwise 1/4 turn and pull the endpoint and endpoint wire out from the assembly base.

Figure 52: Rotate endpoint clockwise

Figure 53: Pull endpoint away from base

4. Mount the endpoint according to recommended installation guidelines within the limits of the endpoint wire.

OTE:N The encoder cannot be removed from the assembly housing.

5. Remount the encoder (in the assembly housing) onto the meter bayonet.

• Turn the assembly clockwise 1/4 turn so it locks in place.

• Replace and tighten the security screw.

Endpoint Status Tool for ORION Cellular Endpoints ENDPOINT STATUS TOOL FOR ORION CELLULAR ENDPOINTS BEACON® AMA users can check the activation status of ORION Cellular endpoints with the ORION Endpoint Status tool. Several minutes after installation, the tool displays ORION Cellular endpoints assigned to you. Endpoints do not need to be provisioned in BEACON AMA to display. The browser-based tool can be viewed on a computer or mobile device. An Internet connection is required.

Endpoint Status Tool for ORION Cellular Endpoints 5. Select an endpoint in the list to see the endpoint raw read. A window opens, like the examples shown in Figure 56. NNOTE: Information in the first three fields is captured at the time of activation. Information in the next three fields is current information.

In-line Connectors IN-LINE CONNECTORS In-line connectors are used to allow AMA/AMR/AMI device connectivity without the need for a field splice kit. There are three available in-line connector types: Twist Tight, 308, Nicor. When ordered separately, the endpoint and encoder (or electronic meter) in-line connectors come with removable caps, which can be removed in the field before joining the connector ends. With the proper orientation, the connector ends go together easily. No tools are necessary.

Using Gel Caps to Connect an Encoder 308 Connector To use the 308 connector, follow these steps and refer to Figure 60. 1. Squeeze the notched area and pull to remove the cap(s). 2. Align the notches inside each connector and push the ends together. You will hear a “click“ when the connector ends are firmly seated and secure.

Using Gel Caps to Connect an Encoder USING GEL CAPS TO CONNECT AN ENCODER For those connections that are not factory wired or equipped with in-line connectors, follow these guidelines for using gel caps when splicing is required, either for installation or to fix a connection after a tamper. Refer to the wiring charts for each ORION endpoint, starting on page 6. NNOTE: • For pit environments, splice connections require a field splice kit (62084-001), which can be ordered separately.
PAGE 7
Using Gel Caps to Connect an Encoder • Using a crimping tool such as the Badger Meter Parallel Pliers (59983-001), place the gel cap with the wires into the jaws of the crimping tool. Figure 64: Gel cap in crimping tool • Crimp the gel cap by squeezing the crimping tool handles until the gel cap is completely compressed. The Badger Meter Parallel Pliers is designed to apply just enough pressure to crimp the gel cap. Apply pressure for three seconds.
