them in the proper account. The Badger-Radix will update the display with the next
unread meter, or the meter that was last displayed on the screen. If a reading is received
for the meter shown on the screen, the screen is updated with the next unread meter.
The mode of the screen is shown vertically on the far right side of the read screen.
“MANUAL” denotes manual reading mode and “AUTO” denotes automatic reading
mode. The Read screen for automatic mode looks like this.
To change the mode of the reading screen, either from manual to auto or from auto to
manual, press the “A” key. The screen will change to show the new mode on the far right
hand side of the screen.
Reading Badger ORION
®
Meters
Each Badger ORION meter reading is received from the ORION receiver, which is
located inside the Badger-Radix. If a meter reading is received and the meter has not yet
been read, the reading is stored. If the meter has already been read, the reading is
discarded.
When in auto mode, the Badger-Radix screen always shows the next unread meter. If the
reading for that meter is received, the screen is updated to show the next unread meter. If
the reading is received for a meter that is not the next unread meter, the reading will be
stored. Using this method, the Badger-Radix display always shows the next unread meter
according to the reading sequence downloaded to the data collector.
A number of possible results can occur when an Badger ORION transmitter sends a
reading.
• The Badger ORION receiver receives the transmission and the Badger-Radix
stores the reading. If the meter was displayed on the screen, the next unread
meter is then displayed. If the meter was not displayed on the screen when the
transmission was received, the reading is stored and the account is removed from
the unread list. Once an account is read, it will not be displayed as an unread
meter in auto mode.
