Figure 27: ORION endpoint reporting leak
The screen in Figure 27 shows an example of a meter reporting a potential leak. If the meter were to report a tamper, the
words “Pot. Leak” (below the Current Reading field) would be replaced with the word “TAMPER.” The Current Reading field
would also show TAMPER with no reading but could be manually overwritten using the Enter/Edit Meter Reading button
which is grayed out in Figure 27.
