Status Icons
The following icons denote the status of a meter. They are used for all ORION water and gas endpoints.
Read
A green circle displays when the meter reading, and work items, if applicable, are received
and no problems were reported.
Tamper A red letter “T” inside a red circle indicates a potential tamper situation where the meter is
not working. For example, a cut wire.
A pink letter “T” inside a pink circle also indicates a potential tamper situation where the
meter is still working. For example, the meter cover is removed or low battery.
Encoder Error A red letter "E" inside a red circle is used for meters equipped with encoders to indicate a
reading cannot be obtained.
Potential Leak A red starburst indicates a meter has shown continuous usage over the past 24-hour period,
which indicates a potential leak.
No Usage A pink letter "C" inside a pink circle displays when the meter has not registered water usage
for 30 days.
Reverse Flow A pink letter "R" inside a pink circle is used for meters equipped with an encoder when the
current reading is lower than the previous reading.
Out of Route A pink question mark indicates a reading has been received from an endpoint that was not
part of the route file loaded to the laptop.
Unread Manual A pink triangle denotes an unread meter equipped with technologies other than ORION
that must be read manually.
