Identication
Each ORION endpoint can be identied using the unique numeric serial number located on a tag attached to the wire harness
and etched on the top (CE) or side (SE, ME) of the endpoint housing. Each Badger Meter encoder is clearly identied on the
face of the register with an assembly number, unit of measure and meter model.
