INSTALLATION

The AR System consists of a Badger Disc
or Turbo meter with the AR/t or RTR
pulse transmitter and the AR/e Condi-

tioning Controller. Normally, the trans-
mitter will be mounted on the meter. It
does not require any additional mount-

ing procedure. All transmitters use a
simple bayonet mount and a seal screw to
attach to the meter.

Note:  Always be sure to match the transmitter to the proper
meter. A red dot on the AR/t transmitter dial indicates the
meter model and size for which the transmitter is intended.
The RTR dial face has the model designation of the appro-
priate meter.
