5 METER COMPATIBILITY MATRIX
The following compatibility matrix is by no means exhaustive, especially in light of the fact that
there are a multitude of three-wire-protocol registers available on the market today. Advertised
full compatibility is limited to registers deemed so based upon testing within the laboratory and/or
the field; and those are denoted by the EtherMeter™ logo:
If there is a Sensus-protocol or Neptune-protocol encoder meter register that is not listed as
compatible based upon testing, and you would like to see it listed as such, then please contact
SCADAmetrics. Note that in such cases, we may request a register for testing and verification.
If there is a Sensus-protocol or Neptune-protocol encoder meter register that is not listed as
compatible based upon testing, and you would like to see it listed as such, then please contact
SCADAmetrics. Note that in such cases, we may request a register for testing and verification.

Badger
ADE
®

Compatible (based upon laboratory and/or field testing).
Test Register provided courtesy of Badger Meter.
Good
register for SCADA System interrogation of encoder register.
Provides medium-resolution totalization (6 digits).
The medium-resolution totalization delays flow-rate calculations and reverse-flow
detection. (The “FIXED DTOTAL” flow calculation method is recommended.)
Does not contain or require a battery, as it draws its power from the interrogation
device.
Can be interrogated every 8 seconds (328,500 times per month), with no apparent
wear.
Register requires factory pre-programming. The maximum (6 digits) is
recommended.
Wiring Color Codes: RED=TX, GREEN=RX, BLACK=CMN
