Badger Meter Remote Electronic Display (RED) - Manual (Page 2)

7. Place the strain relief ring around the RTR lead wire and
secure.
8. Carefully remove about 1-1/2” of the outer sheath of the RTR
lead wire, up to the strain relief ring; avoid cutting the lead wires
or the insulation of the wires. Strip about 1/2” of the insulation
from both RTR lead wires.
9. Remove any temporary protective material from the register
base using the two register terminal screws. Do not tighten
down the screws yet.
10. Connect the RTR cable conductors to the RED wires using
the wire connectors provided in the installation kit. Crimp
the cables completely using a parallel jaw crimper such as the
Badger Meter P/N 59983-001. Polarity must be observed when
connecting the RTR to the RED wires: red (+) to red, black (-) to
black. Make sure to place the wire connector and strain relief in
the rextangular recess of the base.
11. Attach register cover to register base with the Seal screw.
The Seal screw is designed to discourage and identify tamper-
ing.
12. Secure the entire length of wire run from the RTR to the RED
to complete a neat installation.
13. The complete system (meter, RTR, RED, and wire) should be
performance tested to insure proper installation. Refer to perfor-
mance check section of this bulletin for procedures.
PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS
Since the Badger RTR is an incremental encoder, RED must be
programmed to match the meter reading upon installation.
From that point forward the incremental pulses from the meter
should keep the RED in sync with it. Programming the RED
clears any existing “tamper” error flag.
1. After connecting the RED to the RTR, tap the circular gold disk
on the front of the RED display.
2. If the message “PROGRMNG REQUIRED” appears, the RED has
never been programmed since power was applied, or has gone
through reset. The current meter reading must be programmed.
3. To enter PROGRAMMING MODE, tap the display to turn it
on, then when it is displaying either a meter reading or the
“PROGRMNG REQUIRED” message, tap the following password
into the display:
8 taps
3 taps
7 taps
2 taps
Wait after each tap until one of the small comma symbols (dots)
near the top left corner of each display digit lights up acknowl-
edging your tap, then tap again. Keep tapping until the number
of dots above the digits corresponds to the number of taps in
the current password digit. For example, if 3 password taps have
been received, then 3 digits will have a small dot lit above them.
The following shows 3 dots above the digits, so 3 of 8 password
taps have been acknowledged so far:
4. After all the taps have been acknowledged for the first pass-
word digit, wait a few seconds for the dots to disappear, then
start tapping in the next digit. Repeat until all 4 of the password
digits stated above have been tapped in. The following shows
correct entry of all 4 password digits:
8 acknowledged taps:
Wait for dots to disappear:
3 acknowledged taps:
Wait for dots to disappear:
7 acknowledged taps:
Wait for dots to disappear:
2 acknowledged taps:
5. After all of the password digits have been tapped in success-
fully, the display will show the message “PROGRAM MODE”. If the
meter is not connected properly a diagnostic message is issued
at this point, otherwise proceed as follows with programming of
the digits.
