THE DETAILS – OTHER USES FOR THE BADGER-RADIX

The Badger-Radix can be used to perform a number of functions other than reading meters.

•Read a Badger ORION® transmitter whose meter reading you need for a special use (such as testing and troubleshooting, gathering a final meter reading, etc.)

•Interrogate a BadgerTouch® module or other touch module using a VersaProbe™ Some of these functions may be performed at customer sites while others may be performed in the meter shop. But they all use the Badger-Radix Quick Read function.

The Quick Read function allows you to read one meter at a time without having meters loaded in the Badger-Radix. The Quick Read function can be performed for Badger ORION transmitters and touch modules. The Badger-Radix gathers the meter reading and displays the result on the screen. The Badger-Radix does not store the reading information and cannot send any Quick Reads back to the Badger CONNECT software.

The most common uses of the Quick Read feature are:

•Gathering a final reading from a meter

•Reading a transmitter or module when troubleshooting or testing at a customer’s site

•Reading one or more transmitters or modules that are about to be installed at customer sites, to verify that they are working correctly

•Testing a newly installed transmitter

•Performing meter testing at the meter shop

The Quick Read Menu is accessed from the Badger-Radix Main Menu, and looks like this.

The Quick Read Choice screen allows you to perform quick reads for each type of reading technology you use by pressing the button for that technology.
