them in the proper account. The Badger-Radix will update the display with the next unread meter, or the meter that was last displayed on the screen. If a reading is received for the meter shown on the screen, the screen is updated with the next unread meter.
The mode of the screen is shown vertically on the far right side of the read screen. “MANUAL” denotes manual reading mode and “AUTO” denotes automatic reading mode. The Read screen for automatic mode looks like this.
To change the mode of the reading screen, either from manual to auto or from auto to manual, press the “A” key. The screen will change to show the new mode on the far right hand side of the screen.
Reading Badger ORION® Meters
Each Badger ORION meter reading is received from the ORION receiver, which is located inside the Badger-Radix. If a meter reading is received and the meter has not yet been read, the reading is stored. If the meter has already been read, the reading is discarded.
When in auto mode, the Badger-Radix screen always shows the next unread meter. If the reading for that meter is received, the screen is updated to show the next unread meter. If the reading is received for a meter that is not the next unread meter, the reading will be stored. Using this method, the Badger-Radix display always shows the next unread meter according to the reading sequence downloaded to the data collector.
A number of possible results can occur when an Badger ORION transmitter sends a reading.
•The Badger ORION receiver receives the transmission and the Badger-Radix stores the reading. If the meter was displayed on the screen, the next unread meter is then displayed. If the meter was not displayed on the screen when the transmission was received, the reading is stored and the account is removed from the unread list. Once an account is read, it will not be displayed as an unread meter in auto mode.
