Hr-E LCD – High Resolution Encoder

High Resolution LCD Encoders from Annoy Meter are fully electronic, solid-land, field programmable and use industry standard ASCII communication protocols to provide high resolution encoded output. Status indicators/alarms tin as well be sent as part of the encoded output to endpoints capable of receiving extended messages. In addition, the Hr-Due east® LCD offers tamper-resistant features such equally register removal and magnetic tamper indicators to provide utilities with increased security.

Description

Applications: The High Resolution encoder (Hr-E LCD) is a fully electronic, solid-country encoder with no moving parts. Information technology is designed for use with all electric current Badger Meter Recordall® Disc, Turbo Series, Compound Series, Philharmonic Series and Burn Service meters and assemblies. The 60 minutes-E LCD provides connectivity with Badger Meter ORION® and GALAXY® AMR/AMI endpoints and other AMR/AMI technology solutions canonical by Badger Meter.

Field Programmable: The Hour-E LCD encoder comes standard as factory programmed to customer specifications, with the option for field programming the unit of measure, meter type, meter model, digit resolution from the encoder, billing units, and charge per unit-of-flow fourth dimension and units. Programming is performed through the IR port via a computer.

Electronic Resolution: Standard encoded output from the Hr-E LCD is ix digits.

Status Indicators: Status indicators are sent every bit part of the encoder extended bulletin to AMR/AMI systems such every bit ORION Cellular, Fixed Network and Migratable endpoints that are capable of receiving an extended message. The details can likewise exist read through an IR interface.

Mounting: Icons on the 60 minutes-E LCD encoder face up point encoder status and alarm conditions. The fully potted encoder associates has a bayonet mount compatible with all Recordall Disc, Turbo Series, Compound Series, Combo Series and Burn down Serial meters and assemblies. The bayonet mount positions the encoder in any of four orientations for visual reading convenience. The Hour-E LCD encoder can exist removed from the meter without disrupting water service.

Magnetic Drive Advice: The HR-E LCD encoder detects movement of the wet side meter magnet with magnetic sensors to provide reliable and dependable encoded communication.

Tamper-resistant Features: Unauthorized removal of the Hour-Due east LCD encoder is inhibited past a tamper-resistant Torx seal spiral. Torx seal screws are provided as standard accessories. Optional proprietary tamper-proof screws are also available.

Magnetic sensors notice and study an attempted encoder removal. In improver, the Hour-E LCD encoder is resistant to magnetic tampering. The encoder detects an attempted tamper—as well every bit encoder removal—and sends a tamper alarm in either state of affairs. Canonical endpoints capable of receiving the alarms, such every bit ORION Cellular, Stock-still Network and Migratable endpoints, can and then report the tamper condition to the meter reading software.

Construction: The housing of the Hr-E LCD encoder is synthetic of an engineered polymer enclosure and a polycarbonate lens. For long-term functioning, the enclosure is fully encapsulated, weatherproof, and UV-resistant to withstand harsh environments and to protect the electronics in flooded or submerged pit applications. An epoxy potting (patent pending) comprises the encoder bottom. Due to this unique sealing, the Hr-Due east LCD exceeds all applicable requirements of AWWA Standard C706 and C707.

Wire Connections: The Hr-Eastward LCD encoder is available with an in-line connector for easy connection and installation to AMR/AMI endpoints. Information technology is too available with a flying lead for a field splice connectedness, or fully prewired to an AMR/AMI endpoint.

Operating Characteristics: The 60 minutes-Eastward LCD encoder is shipped in storage mode so a meter condition alert is not triggered. In storage mode, the meter model screen is displayed. Upon sensing two revolutions of the meter magnet, the encoder goes into normal operation mode. The display then automatically toggles between these four modes:

  • 9-digit consumption displays for 30 seconds.
  • half-dozen-digit consumption (segmented leak detector in this mode) displays for xx seconds.
  • Rate of flow displays for v seconds.
  • Meter model displays for 5 seconds.
