ORION Cellular Endpoint IR
Select the ORION IR Programming function to read ORION Cellular water endpoints ORION Cellular endpoints cannot be
field programmed but the IR Programming function is used to perform a force read of the endpoint to the encoder and ping
to confirm endpoint network communication
Figure 13: IR Programming screen for ORION cellular endpoint
NOTE: N Prior to performing any of the ORION Cellular endpoint IR functions, connect the IR programming cable to the
handheld and make sure the COM port is set See "Hardware Settings" on page 63 if you need help
ORION Cellular Endpoint IR Buttons
Read Initiates IR communication between the handheld and the endpoint Reads the endpoint type and
displays the information for the specific endpoint
Force Read Used to update the real-time encoder odometer value on the endpoint
Ping Used to confirm endpoint communication with BEACON AMA software
Modem Info Displays the modem properties Modem properties refresh each time the button is selected
Mode Displays the current state of the endpoint See "Mode" on page 16 for a list of the endpoint modes that
