Starting the Badger ORION® Transmitter without the Programmer
All Badger ORION Transmitters are programmed at the factory to begin sending its meter reading as soon as the Encoder/Register registers flow through the meter. As a result, you can install Badger ORION transmitters on meters without having to manually start the transmitter.
Using the Programmer to start a Transmitter
If a Badger ORION Transmitter is required to start its meter reading broadcast prior to registering usage, align the optical port and the LED and touch the Start Radio button “S”. If the port and the LED are aligned, you’ll hear a beep and see these messages that indicate success:
•Turn on
•Done
Here’s what you would see if you started transmitter # 72110115.
