Endpoint Alarms
Report Report
Status
Description
Potential Leak (Water) Leak RTR: Endpoints with an RTR look for 1 hour of non-usage in 24 hours.
ENC: Endpoints with an ADE or HRE look for 2 hours of non-usage in 24 hours.
ELCD: Endpoints with an HR E-LCD encoder report 24 hours without one 15-minute
interval of no flow.
Cut Cable or Magnetic
Tamper
Tamper Endpoint(s) reporting a tamper condition when the wire between the register and the
endpoint is cut or shorted. With gas meters, a tamper occurs when the presence of an
external magnetic field interferes with the ability of the gas endpoint to accurately
record consumption.
No Usage No Use Endpoint(s) reporting no usage. No usage conditions occur when there is no flow over
a 30-day time frame.
Reverse Flow
(ENC, GAS, ELCD)
Reverse Endpoint(s) reporting that the encoder has reverse direction measured flow, causing
the current reading to be lower than the previous recorded reading.
Encoder Error (ENC) Encoder Device condition. Endpoint(s) reporting an encoder error. Error conditions occur when
the encoder exhibits a temporary or permanent failure to extract the current reading.
Cover Removal (GAS) Cover Device condition. Endpoint(s) reporting error due to meter cover or partial cover
removal.
Device Condition
(ELCD)
Device The specific conditions indicated in the extended status. See “Device“ under "Status"
onpage29.
Low Battery Low Batt Endpoint(s) reporting estimated remaining battery life is low.
Mobile Mode Indicator Mobile Endpoint(s) reporting in mobile mode.
Programmed
Parameter Change
Program Endpoint received a program parameter change. Example, it was reprogrammed via IR.
Priority of Alarms: Low Battery, Tamper, Reverse Flow, Leak, No Usage, Encoder Error (ENC)/Device Condition (ELCD).
Endpoint alarms are based on the most current reading within the time period selected.
OTE:N Encoder error descriptions differ depending on the encoder type. Refer to the HR-E LCD Encoder Installation and
Programming Manual and E-Series Ultrasonic Meters User Manual, available at www.badgermeter.com, for more
information about HR E LCD and E-Series status indicators and clearing alarms.
Reading Reports
Last Read The most current meter reading within the time period selected.
No Read The most current meter reading for endpoints that have not reported within the time period selected.
Usage The most current meter reading, the lowest meter reading, and the difference between them within the
time period selected. Use the section titled "Set Options for Report Preview" at the bottom left to select
records to show when previewing the report.
Not Advancing The most current meter reading for endpoints where the meter reading did not change within the time
period selected.
Notifications Endpoints with notifications set on Endpoint Settings or Account Records screens. If Alarm Notifications
are not set on either screen, the report is blank.
Leak Logger Refers to a report from the Permalog® acoustic leak detection device.
History All endpoints that have reported meter readings within the time period selected, along with the
individual meter readings collected within that time.
