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, Fixed Network (SE) and Migratable (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 a Badger Meter ORION Cellular, Fixed
Network or Migratable 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 .

Status Description
HR-E LCD Display
HR-E LCD with ORION Cellular
or Fixed Network* and
Migratable* Endpoints
*Firmware version 1 .8 or higher required
Meter functioning
correctly
Encoder operating correctly .
Continuous display on encoder as
long as no other status indicators
are triggered .
Indicator status not sent to
the endpoint .
Encoder alarm
Several potential conditions
may exist, including:
Encoder removal
Temperature limit exceeded
(34…140° F)
Magnetic tamper
Encoder alarm remains active for
35 days . The alarm automatically
clears after 35 days if any of the 3
conditions has not recurred .
Encoder alarm sent to the endpoint .
Reverse flow
Encoder detects reverse flow .
Reverse flow alarm remains active
for 35 days . The alarm automatically
clears after 35 days if reverse flow
condition has not recurred .
Encoder detects reverse flow
and sends alarm message to
the endpoint .
Suspected leak
Encoder detects 24 hours
without one 15-minute
interval of no flow .
The alarm clears automatically
when a 15-minute no-flow
interval occurs .
Encoder detects suspected leak
and sends alarm message to
the endpoint .
If condition clears before
message is sent to the endpoint,
it is not reported .
30 day no usage
No measured flow in past
30 days .
The alarm is automatically cleared
once flow occurs .
Encoder detects 30 days no usage
and sends alarm to the endpoint .
End of life
battery indicator
Indicated battery life based on
pre-calculated consumption .
Alarm activated at 19 years and
does not clear .
Encoder sends alarm to the endpoint .
