RTM Elster AMCO applicative PFS Coronis Systems
4.3.3. Alarm Configuration
“Alarm Configuration” parameter is used to enable automatically alarm transmission on fault or other
anomaly independently.
Some internals features can be associated to an alarm configuration bit. To be sure that the Alarm frame will
be sent after fault or problem detection, the user must take care that the corresponding “Operating Mode”
bit is correctly set.
In case of manual network installation, Some other important information have to be configured in RTM
Elster AMCO such as the path to reach the root of the network.

ATTENTION :
When RTM Elster AMCO is programmed to send information periodically using Pseudo bubble
up feature, enabling alarm frames is not recommended. Indeed, in such a case alarm frame
management can generate collisions on the radio medium . However, information returned in
pseudo bubble up mode include RTM Elster AMCO Status bytes (Application Status & Leakage
Detection Status) allowing the user software to monitor default detection on the RTM without any
other necessary radio exchange.
