The Load Control Modules (LCMs) have a limited number of alerts that vary by model.

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.

Load Control Module alerts

The Load Control Modules (LCMs) have a limited number of alerts that vary by model.

Table 1. Load Control Module alerts
LCM model	Meter event name	RNI event name	Event description	Event trigger
TC240RAC-S	Tamper Event Started	Tamper Alarm	The LCM has not sensed current or voltage for an unusual period of time, indicating that the LCM may have been tampered with.	For every second that current or relay is not detected across a relay, the LCM increments the counter by 1. When the counter exceeds the configured Tamper Threshold Timer, the Tamper Alarm is triggered.
TC240RAC-S	Tamper Event Stopped	N/A	The LCM has sensed current or voltage across a relay for which a Tamper Alarm has been issued, and clears the tamper counter and clears the Tamper Alarm in RNI.	Current or voltage is sensed across a relay with an active Tamper Alarm.
FC340 and FC340A	Powerfail	Power Fail	The LCM has lost power for a sustained period of time. This alarm is cleared automatically after power is restored.	LCM loses power for a sustained period of time.
