Reading BadgerTouch® Modules
Reading meters equipped with BadgerTouch® modules, Badger DIALOG® or with competitive “touch” modules is similar to reading manual meters.

The Badger-Radix will process the reading to determine a high and low reading status.
The VersaProbe™ connects to the Badger-Radix through the left connector at the bottom. The small round end of the interface cable plugs into the Badger-Radix port while the larger end connects with the VersaProbe.

The wand will communicate with the module and forward the meter reading information to the Badger-Radix, which will process the reading for high and low status, and store the reading.
If a touch-type meter is read out of sequence, the Badger-Radix can search for the correct meter. Searching is controlled by the Find On Wrong Setting. If the Find On Wrong setting is checked, the meter reading will be stored and the next meter will be displayed.
