cable. An IR programming cable must be attached to the laptop. See "IR Setup" on page9.
RF (ME Only) Select the RF radio button to extract profile data from an ORION ME endpoint using radio
frequency (RF). An ORION ME transceiver and antenna must be attached to the laptop. See "RF
Setup" on page9 for more information.

Interval Readings
An ORION ME water endpoint stores 90 days of hourly readings or 22 days of readings taken at 15 minute intervals. The
chart below shows the number of readings collected for meters set at 60 minute (hourly) intervals and at 15 minute (quarter
hourly) intervals:
