Endpoints
The ORION water endpoint is a three-wire metering device (Figure 1) for indoor/outdoor use. Each endpoint has a unique
numeric serial number on the tag attached to the cable harness (wire) and etched on the endpoint housing. Endpoints
require connection to an encoder to complete the assembly. Badger Meter encoders are shown in Figure 4.

Encoders/Register
The encoder connects to the endpoint to complete the assembly. Each Badger Meter encoder is identified on the face of the
register with an assembly number, unit of measure and meter model. Current and legacy products are shown in Figure 4.
