THE BADGER®-RADIX®User Guide
February 2007
When in manual mode, the meter reader can read touch-type meters using the VersaProbe™, enter readings for manually read meters, or perform any other Badger- Radix function such as searching for a particular meter or viewing progress. When the manual and touch-type meters have been read and the next meter to read is a Badger ORION® transmitter, you can return to automatic mode by pressing the “A” key. This action will return the Badger-Radix to automatic meter reading.
Starting the Reading Process for a Manual or Touch-type Meter
To gather a reading for a manual meter, enter the meter reading on the keyboard. To gather a reading for a touch-type meter, squeeze and release the trigger on the VersaProbe™ once the meter is displayed as the next unread meter. (Be sure that the probe is connected to the bottom left port of the Badger-Radix.)
Manual Meter Reading
To enter a manual meter reading once the numeric keypad is displayed, view the meter’s register and note the reading. Next, enter the reading onto the Badger-Radix keyboard buttons.
Manual Meter Reading Direction
Water meters are typically read from left to right, while electric meters are typically read right to left. The Badger-Radix can handle meter readings gathered in either direction. For example, if you entered the reading as 382 going from left to right, you’d see this screen.
