The Badger Meter RECORDALL
®
Transmitter Register (RTR) is
available for all remote and pit settings where a Badger Meter water
meter can be located. The RTR is permanently sealed to eliminate
moisture, dirt, and other contaminants to insure reliable operation in
submerged or indoor applications. As the foundation for Badger
Meter's MRT products, including ORION, the RTR provides a digital
output for superior electronic resolution.
Available for all RECORDALL Disc, Turbo, Compound and Fire Series
Meters, each RTR is clearly identified on the face of the dial with an
assembly number, unit of measure, and meter model (see figure 1.)

INSTALLATION
CONNECTING RTR
The RTR should only be connected to a Badger Meter approved
product. Connection to an unapproved product will void the
RTR warranty.
To connect to an AMR module, strip approximately 1 ½” of outer
insulation sheath from the RTR 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.
Unwind the outer foil shield from the RTR cable and cut it off even with
the outer sheath using the wire cutting pliers.
To connect an Remote ORION module to a Badger register with a
brown-insulated cable, connect as follows:
• Red to red
• Green to green
• Black to black
• Shield to white
This configuration supports the cut cable feature (Badger register
equipped with a black-insulated cable does not support cut cable.)
Verify the RTR has a brown cable and contains a label with "IT/OR"
for ORION Installation. Connect the RTR conductors to the AMR
module conductors using insulation gel connectors P/N 59761-001.
Crimp the cables completely using a parallel jaw crimper such as
Badger Meter P/N 59983-001.
