Volume Corrector Connections
To connect the ORION remote endpoint wires to a Mercury or volume corrector output:
• Remove the protective tape or gel caps from the end of the ORION remote endpoint lead wire
• Depending on what type of connection is used, the wire insulation may need to be trimmed
The ORION remote endpoint is intended to interface to any Type A pulsed output This may be an electric or
mechanical switch closure
The lead wires, supplied with the Badger ORION remote endpoint, connect to the pulsed output terminals using the
appropriate color-coded wires:
• Red Wire - Positive Terminal (+)
• Black Wire - Negative Terminal (-)
• Green Wire - Negative Terminal (-)
When connecting a remote ORION remote endpoint to the output of the gas meter, refer to the gas meter
manufacturer's directions for the proper method of routing the cable into the electronics box and connecting to the
appropriate terminals
Make note of the polarity of all the terminals
The remote ORION remote endpoint uses the red wire as a positive (+) conductor and the black wire as a negative (-)
conductor of the switch closure
The green wire is also connected to the negative (-) conductor to provide cut cable indication
Polarity must be observed when connecting an ORION remote endpoint to the output
