IR PROGRAMMING
An example of an IR Programming screen for an ORION Migratable endpoint with an HR-E LCD encoder on a water meter is
shown in Figure 15 The fields and buttons on the screen vary depending on the following:
• Endpoint technology: ORION Fixed Network, ORION Migratable, ORION Classic
• Encoder type: HR-E LCD, HR-E, ENC (ADE®), RTR®, Permalog
• Meter type: E-Series®, Recordall® Disc, Compound Series, Turbo Series, Fire Series, Fire Hydrant
• Meter service: Water, Gas
Figure 15: IR Programming screen with data
The endpoint technology, encoder type and meter type, together, define the information that will be displayed in the Type
and Meter Information fields when performing the IR Programming functions
Optional IR Programming Bracket
An IR Programming Bracket (PN: 65917-001) is available and can be used to assist in reading ORION endpoints The bracket
facilitates correct alignment between the IR optical read head of the programming cable and the IR port on the endpoint,
ensuring a steady read position while leaving your hands free
