IDENTIFICATION
The Badger Meter High Resolution Encoder (HRE) is available in two
versions:
•
With a potted three-wire flying lead
•
With three terminal screws
The HRE with glass lens is available factory pre-wired to
Badger Meter AMR/AMI products, or may be spliced to other devices
following the instructions below. This version is permanently sealed
to eliminate the intrusion of moisture, dirt, or other contaminants,
and is suitable for installation in all environments, including meter
pits subject to continuous submergence.
The HRE with terminal screws features the same permanent sealing
of the register's internal elements, but does not provide a moisture
resistant enclosure. Therefore it is suitable for indoor installation in
a dry environment only, and is marked as such on the terminal
screw cover.
Available for all Recordall® Disc, Turbo, Compound, Combo and Fire
Service Meters and Assemblies, each HRE is clearly identified on
the face of the dial with an assembly number, unit of measure, and
meter model
.

Before proceeding with installation, be certain that the meter type
and size correspond, and that the proper HRE configuration has
been supplied for the application.
THE HRE SHOULD ONLY BE CONNEC TED TO A BADGER
METER APPROVED PRODUCT. CONNECTION TO AN
UNAPPROVED PRODUCT WILL VOID THE HRE WARRANTY.
CONNECTING THE HRE
Your HRE will have a factory installed three-conductor cable (brown)
for connection to an AMR module.
If the wire is cut or broken and requires a field splice after
initial installa- tion, connect like color wires to maintain proper
installation.
To connect to an AMR module, strip approximately 1-1/2" of outer
insulation sheath from the HRE and AMR module cables using the
59989-001 Coax Stripping Tool. Use caution in removing the outer
sheath so that the inner signal wire insulation is not damaged.
Strip the outer sheath
If the outer foil shield remained after removing the insulation
sheath, unwind the outer foil shield on the cable ends and cut it
off even with the outer sheath. Then cut the uninsulated shield
drain wire even with the outer sheath. Inspect the inner signal wire
insulation to insure it was not damaged; any slice in the insulation
of the signal wires could result in a short between conductors
resulting in a
tamper
condition on the AMR product.
Sheath and outer foil removed
Drain wire cut off
Insert the like color conductors from each cable end into the Gel-
Connector. Inspect that the conductors are through the crimp bar
and all the way to the end of the Gel-Connector.

Wires should be visible through the end
