Industrial Registers
Model ER-6/R (Remote) Digital Resettable Totalizer
ABOUT THIS MANUAL
This manual explains how to install, operate and maintain the
Badger Meter® Model ER-6/R electronic register.
The troubleshooting section lists the most common problems
that may be encountered, their most likely cause and the
recommended solutions.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The ER-6 register is a remote totalizer designed for use with all
Badger Meter product lines.
The supertwist LCD display with 8 digits for totalizing, provides easy
viewing at a glance. For conditions where ambient light is poor, the
display can be backlit by connecting an external DC (10…28V DC)
power supply. A single unit can accept NPN or dry contact inputs for
low or high speed applications.
The ER-6/R register is powered by one replaceable 3V Lithium
battery. You can install a new battery before removing the old one,
thereby retaining count total. A low battery indicator appears on
the screen to provide a warning a couple of weeks before the end of
battery life. If two batteries are used simultaneously, the individual
expected life doubles to 10 years.
INSTALLATION
Panel Installation
Place the unit in the panel through a 33 mm × 68 mm cutout. Slide
the included gasket over the rear of the unit, then slide the panel
mount bracket into place so that the 4 tabs catch in the grooves on
the top and the bottom of the unit (the bracket should be oriented
so that the tabs are on the side nearest the panel). Use the provided
panel mount screws to tighten the bracket until there is a secure
seal against the gasket. Do not over tighten.
Battery Installation/Replacement
The ER-6/R register is shipped with one battery, which is not
installed. Remove the battery cover by pushing inward and down.
Install the battery in one of the two slots. The unit runs on a single
battery, and the second slot is provided to allow for installing a
new battery before removing the old one, retaining count total.
The unit can also be run on two batteries to extend the battery life
to 10 years. Once the battery is in place, the unit goes into a selftest mode, and all the segments on the LCD display illuminate. To
exit the self-test mode, press RST, which then displays the model
number (0). Press RST again to ready the unit for operation.
