Installation and Programming Manual
Upon opening the shipping container, visually inspect the product and applicable accessories for any physical damage such as scratches, loose or broken parts, or any other sign of damage that may have occurred during shipment.
NNOTE: If damage is found, request an inspection by the carrier’s agent within 48 hours of delivery and file a claim with the carrier. A claim for equipment damage in transit is the sole responsibility of the purchaser.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation of this device is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Any changes made by the user not approved by Badger Meter can void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This manual is intended to be used by utilities for installing and programming the HR-E LCD Encoder.
The HR-E LCD Encoder is a fully electronic, solid-state encoder with no moving parts.
The HR-E LCD Encoder is designed for use with all current Badger Meter Recordall® Disc, Turbo Series, Compound Series, Combo Series and Fire Service meters and assemblies. The HR-E LCD Encoder provides connectivity with Badger Meter ORION®
and GALAXY® AMR/AMI endpoints and other AMR/AMI technology solutions approved by Badger Meter.
The HR-E LCD Encoder has a nine-digit Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) to show consumption, flow and alarm information.
There is no need to activate the display. The display automatically toggles between 9-digit and 6-digit consumption (segmented leak detector in this mode), rate of flow and meter model.

The units of measure are factory-programmed and user-programmable. Options include U.S. gallons, Imperial gallons, cubic feet, cubic meters, and liters.
The consumption display includes all nine digits and a decimal point (based on meter model, size and unit of measure). The displayed value is the sum of the forward flow minus any reverse flow. This screen displays for 30 seconds.

This mode is used to represent the typical 6 wheel odometer registration as seen on a mechanical encoder. In 6-digit totalizer mode, depending on the meter model, size and unit of measure, one of the multiplier values will also be shown (X1, X10, X100, X1000, X10,000). When water is flowing through the meter, this display will include a series of moving segments to represent a flow finder. This screen displays for 20 seconds.

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.
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.

Installation and Programming Manual
This screen identifies the meter for which the encoder was programmed and displays for 5 seconds. The display shows the meter type (turbo, disc, compound), the meter model, and the unit of measure (gal, ft3, m3, imp, liter). Disc meters are
indicated by a d, Turbo meters are indicated by a stylized T (only the right half of the horizontal line appears) and Compound meters are indicated by a C. See samples below:

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.
