Endpoint Reading Resolution
MPORTANTI
The standard electronic encoder output resolution of the HR-E LCD encoder is 9 digits. Though the encoder output is 9-digit resolution, the reading resolution sent to the reading software is dependent on the endpoint that the encoder is connected to.
Readings reported from the endpoints are the left-most significant digits of the encoder reading.
Endpoint Technology Reading Resolution Reported to Reading Software ORION Cellular, ORION Mobile M 9-digit reading, plus the extended message capability ORION ME/ORION SE 8-digit reading, plus the extended message capability ORION Classic (CE) 7-digit reading
GALAXY 6-digit reading
See the application brief, HR-E LCD Encoder Test Circle Codes, available at www.badgermeter.com, for the appropriate test circle code/reading resolutions for the HR-E LCD encoder with ORION or GALAXY endpoints . Other output options are available for certain applications .
HR-E LCD
Status Indicators
Status indicators are sent as part of the encoder message to AMR/AMI systems that are capable of receiving an extended message, such as ORION Cellular, ORION Mobile M, ORION SE and ORION ME endpoints . The details can also be read through an IR interface .
Status indicators appear in the display as symbols that illuminate when the condition is active and dim when the condition is eliminated .
All HR-E LCD encoders are delivered in storage mode so that a meter alarm is not triggered . During storage mode, the meter model displays on the encoder . As water begins to flow through the meter, the encoder switches from storage mode to normal operation upon sensing two (2) revolutions of the meter magnet .
The following chart indicates the HR-E LCD encoder conditions when connected to an appropriate Badger Meter ORION endpoint . The chart does not apply to ORION Classic (CE) or GALAXY endpoints, or HR-E LCD encoders programmed to a resolution lower than a 9-digit output . The HR-E LCD encoder displays the information, but the extra information is not reported through the endpoints .

HR-E LCD 4-20
HR-E LCD 4-20
The HR-E LCD 4-20 is a permanently sealed, electronic LCD absolute encoder which produces an industry standard ASCII encoded output as well as a 4-20 mA DC output signal through a dual output wire design .
Measurement Resolution
Standard encoded output is 9 digits . The 4-20 signal from the encoder is proportional to the flow of fluid passing through the meter . Power for the 4-20 output signal device can be obtained from a 9…50V DC control loop . The default 20 mA setting of the signal is defined in the resolution chart .
