ENCODER PROTOCOL INTERFACE
The encoder protocol interface requires firmware version 1 .10 or later . Reference Badger Meter P/N 67354-003 to obtain a
firmware upgrade kit .
Enabling the meter as an encoder requires three settings, all within the advanced menu, to be configured .
• Totalizer Resolution – Selects the resolution of the display totalizer .
• Protocol Type – Selects the type of information to be transmitted to the encoder .
• Dial Type – Enables encoder and selects the number of significant totalizer digits to transmit .
Changing the protocol type automatically configures the necessary digital inputs/outputs . Manually changing the digital
inputs/outputs within the
Input/Outputs
menu is not allowed . Below is a wiring diagram for connecting an encoder to
the meter .

When connected to an ORION® Cellular LTE endpoint, add a 15K resistor (Badger Meter P/N 69224-001) to the meter
terminal block between terminal 1 (green wire) and terminal 8 (red wire) as shown to correct any potential meter
reading issues . The resistor is indicated by an arrow in the photo and in the drawing .
