Electric meter alerts
Sensus electric meters and third-party meters in a FlexNet system generate alarms, errors and warnings. These alert notifications are transmitted in multiple ways.

Electric meter alerts
Sensus electric meters and third-party meters in a FlexNet system generate alarms, errors and warnings. These alert notifications are transmitted in multiple ways.
- Stratus IQ+ alerts
  The following information describes the alarms, errors, and warnings that make up the Stratus IQ+ alerts.
- Stratus IQ alerts
  The following information describes the alarms, errors, and warnings that make up the Stratus IQ available alerts. The meter sends a message to the RNI whenever an alert condition triggers.
- Stratus alerts
  These alerts, errors, and warnings apply to the Stratus meter.
- iConA alerts
  These alerts, errors, and warnings apply to the iConA meter.
- Aclara I-210+c alerts
  These alerts, errors, and warnings apply to Aclara I-210+c meters with a FlexNet SmartPoint module.
- Aclara kV2c alerts
  These alerts, errors, and warnings apply to Aclara kV2c meters with a FlexNet SmartPoint module.
- Honeywell A3 alerts
  These alerts, errors, and warnings apply to the Honeywell A3 meter with a FlexNet SmartPoint module.
- Landis+Gyr AX alerts
  These alerts, errors, and warnings apply to Landis+Gyr AX meters with a FlexNet SmartPoint module.
- Load Control Module alerts
  The Load Control Modules (LCMs) have a limited number of alerts that vary by model.
- VantagePoint alerts
  The following information describes the available VantagePoint alerts.
Water meter alerts
Sensus water meters and SmartPoint modules in a FlexNet system generate alarms. These alert notifications are viewed on the LCD or through Device Manager.
Water SmartPoint alarms
Sensus water SmartPoint modules monitor their operation for exceptional or abnormal conditions. When the module detects one of these alarm conditions it is logged in non-volatile memory. If the module is configured for fixed-base mode, an alarm notification message transmits to the RNI.
Gas meter alerts
Gas meter alerts can originate from either the SmartPoint module or the metrology.
Gas SmartPoint alarms
Sensus gas SmartPoint modules monitor their operation for exceptional or abnormal conditions. When the module detects one of these alarm conditions it is logged in non-volatile memory. If the module is configured for fixed-base mode, an alarm notification message transmits to the RNI.
Smart Gateway alerts
The Sensus Smart Gateway Sensor Interface reports alerts that can originate from the Smart Gateway, and its attached digital inputs and sensors.
Base Station alerts
Base Stations have eight bits for alarms, which display differently depending on the model of Base Station.

Electric meter alerts

Sensus electric meters and third-party meters in a FlexNet system generate alarms, errors and warnings. These alert notifications are transmitted in multiple ways.

Alarms transmit by ping response, weekly alarm message, or supervisory message. Alarms also can be sent immediately and display as hexadecimal codes. If more than one alarm is present, the code may represent multiple alarms.

Errors transmit by ping response or weekly alarm message unless otherwise noted. Errors also can be sent immediately and display as hexadecimal codes. If more than one error is present, the code may represent multiple errors.

Warnings transmit in the weekly alarm message. The Error or Warning code displayed on the LCD and reported through the FlexNet system is a HEX value, in which non-zero bits represent an error condition. Multiple error conditions may exist at once which produces a value that is the combination of the HEX values for those errors.
