THE BADGER®-RADIX®User Guide

February 2007

Battery Info “B” – this screen shows information being reported by the processor within the battery pack that might be useful when investigating a problem

Date / Time “D” – this screen allows you to set the date, the time, and the time zone for the Badger-Radix

Close “C” – this function returns you to the Read Menu

Progress

The Badger-Radix keeps records on the total number of meters, the number of meters read, the number of meters that failed to report, the number of tamper reports received, etc. If you wish to view this information, press the Utilities “U” button from the Read Menu followed by the Progress “P” button from the Utilities Menu.

You can also display the Progress screen by using the “O” Hot Key.

The Badger-Radix Progress screen displays these statistics:

Total number of meters stored in the Badger-Radix

Current number of meters for which readings have not yet been attempted

The total number of meters for which readings have been obtained or have been unsuccessful (number attempted)

The total number of failed reads

The percentage of meters of the total meters in the Badger-Radix that have been attempted

The number of tamper conditions reported (this total does not include any meters in which the tampers have been reset)

The number of unexpected manual reads (of meters equipped with automatic meter reading equipment)

The screen looks like this.

If your Badger-Radix has a thousand or more meters, it may take 10 to 15 seconds to see the numbers displayed on this screen. This is because the Badger-Radix is examining each meter in the database in order to build the values for this screen.
