ORION Classic Endpoint IR
Use the ORION IR Programming function to read ORION Classic water and gas endpoints, and to start, stop and pause an
endpoint The ORION IR Programming function is also used to program an endpoint following a tamper repair or retrofit
installation (RTR water installations only)
Figure 47: IR Programming screen for ORION classic endpoint
NOTE: N Prior to performing any of the ORION Classic endpoint IR functions, connect the IR programming cable and an
ORION Classic mobile receiver (if necessary) to the handheld, and make sure the appropriate COM ports are set See
"glossary" on page 70 if you need help
ORION Classic Endpoint IR Buttons
Read Read the endpoint using the IR programming cable
Program /
Force Read
When used with an RTR encoder, Program is used to set the endpoint odometer value following a tamper
repair When used with an ADE encoder, Force Read is used to view the real-time encoder odometer value
Stop Stop the endpoint from sending a transmission Stopped endpoints must be re-programmed to begin
transmitting again
Pause Pause the endpoint transmission temporarily until a unit of water or gas is registered (Common practice of
seasonal users )
Start Start the endpoint radio transmission
HPwr Force a brief high powered signal from the endpoint to an ORION Classic gateway receiver
Listen Switches to RF (radio frequency) to "hear" if the endpoint is active
ORION Classic Endpoint IR Buttons - Gas Endpoint Only
Drive Circle? Displays after initial read for ORION Classic gas endpoints only Provides access to a read-only screen
displaying the possible drive circles for the gas endpoint
Change DC Displays after initial read for gas endpoints only Used to select the gas drive circle information
ORION Classic Endpoint IR Fields
Serial # Displays the serial number of the ORION CE endpoint
Reading Used to view the current endpoint reading value For an RTR, it is used in conjunction with the Program
button to reprogram the odometer value after a tamper repair
Status Displays the endpoint status which provides information regarding the programming and configuration of
the endpoint See "Status codes" on page 75 for a list of status codes.
Radio Used to view the endpoint radio transmission mode
