In 9 and 6 digit totalizer mode, the display also includes indicator lines above and below the digits to provide the electronic
equivalent of the white and black number wheels seen on a mechanical encoder. The segmented lines above and below the
numbers represent what the white number wheels do for the mechanical encoders—typical utility standard billing units.
For more detailed information on the visual totalizer displays, see “How to Read and Encoder” document LCD-A-01.
Rate of Flow
The rate of flow is factory programmed for gallons per minute. The encoder displays both the unit of measure and rate of flow.
The rate of flow display is shown without leading zeros. A reverse flow is indicated by a minus sign before the flow rate. The
displayed rate will be based on the average flow rate for the prior minute (since the last time the flow rate was displayed). This
screen displays for 5 seconds.

Endpoint Reading Resolution
The electronic encoder output resolution of the HR-E LCD Encoder is 9 digits. Though the encoder output is 9-digit resolution, the
reading resolution sent to the reading software is dependent on the endpoint that the HR-E LCD is connected to.
Readings reported from the endpoints are the left-most significant digits of the encoder reading.
Endpoint Technology Reading Resolution Reported to Reading Software
ORION ME/SE 8-digit reading, plus the extended message capability
ORION CE 7-digit reading
GALAXY 6-digit reading
See LCD-A-03-EN for appropriate test circle code/reading resolutions for the HR-E LCD encoder with ORION or GALAXY endpoints.
Page 8 December 2012
Installation and Programming Manual
Status Indicators
Status indicators are sent as part of the encoder message to AMR/AMI systems that are capable of receiving an extended
message, such as ORION ME and SE endpoints. The details can also be read through an IR interface.
Status indicators appear in the display as symbols that illuminate when the condition is active and dim when the condition
is eliminated.
All HR-E LCD Encoders are delivered in a storage mode so that a meter alarm is not triggered. During storage mode, the meter
model displays on the encoder. As water begins to flow through the meter, the encoder switches from storage mode to
normal operation.
The following chart indicates the HR-E LCD Encoder conditions when connected to a Badger Meter ORION ME/SE endpoint.
The chart does not apply to ORION CE or GALAXY endpoints. The HR-E LCD displays the indicators and sends information, but
the ORION CE and GALAXY endpoints ignore the extra information and do not report it.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Issue Probable Cause Solution
Programmer screen is blank after a
Read.
Error message displayed after clicking
an option on the programmer screen.
Bad connection. Check for damaged or broken wires.
COM Port not specied. Select a COM Port from the IR Port
drop-down menu.

UPDATING THE FIRMWARE VERSION OF ADE TYPE ME/SE ENDPOINTS
For the HR-E LCD, ME/SE endpoints need to be high resolution version endpoints.
This procedure should be used only for updating the rmware version of in-stock stand-alone encoder type “ADE” ME/
SE endpoints.
Firmware version 1.9 or higher is required in these endpoints to use the HR-E LCD encoder. The Attach Endpoints feature
updates the rmware version of the endpoint.
To update the rmware version of an ADE type ME/SE endpoint:
1. Align and hold the IR head over the antenna at the bottom of the endpoint.
2. Click the Attach Endpoint button.
If the endpoint is properly aligned to the IR head, the programmer queries the endpoint, then updates its rmware version.
If the programmer cannot find the endpoint, it displays this message:
In this case, reposition the IR head so it contacts the antenna on the
endpoint, then click OK.
