Specifications include, but are not limited to: Applications: The BadgerTouch® Pit Module with Twist Tight® connector for connectivity with a next generation E-Series® G2 Ultrasonic meter or High Resolution Encoder (HR-E®) is a complete electronically encoded close-proximity automated meter reading system, specifically designed for pit meter installations. This system can be used with E-Series G2 Ultrasonic meters, and with the HR-E encoder for use with all Recordall® Disc, Turbo, Compound, Combo and Fire Series meters and assemblies. The Pit Module is designed to fit pit lid configurations up to 2 inches thick. Communication: Communication is accomplished by using compatible reading devices programmed to read BadgerTouch or Industry Standard ASCII protocols, such as the VersaProbe® reading wands, to interrogate the BadgerTouch Pit Module. The Pit Module responds with its serial number and water meter reading, and transmits data in approximately 2.5 seconds. In the event a tamper condition exists, the data collector will not receive a reading. Performance: The BadgerTouch automated meter reading system offers superior operating performance in pit applications and is designed for totally submerged environments. The Pit Module allows readings under many conditions where ice, sand or dirt may impede direct contact with the read pad. For consistent results, interrogation equipment should be placed in direct contact with the pit read pad.
