competitive “touch” modules is similar to reading manual meters. The meter reading
process is started when the wand is connected to the Badger-Radix and in place, and the
reading is sent to the Badger-Radix from the reading wand. The Badger-Radix will
process the reading to determine a high and low reading status.
The VersaProbe™ connects to the Badger-Radix through the left connector at the bottom.
The small round end of the interface cable plugs into the Badger-Radix port while the
larger end connects with the VersaProbe. When using the VersaProbe, start the reading
process by placing the sensor on the read module and squeezing the trigger on the probe.
The wand will communicate with the module and forward the meter reading information
to the Badger-Radix, which will process the reading for high and low status, and store the
reading.
If a touch-type meter is read out of sequence, the Badger-Radix can search for the correct
meter. Searching is controlled by the Find On Wrong Setting. If the Find On Wrong
setting is checked, the meter reading will be stored and the next meter will be displayed.
If the meter that was read was not found, or the Find On Wrong setting is not checked,
you’ll see this message.
