Configurable alerts
The following integrated alerts are displayed on the meter LCD and transmitted over the integrated radio or NFC interface.
Metrology alerts:
- Water leak
- Water burst
- Air in pipe
- Empty pipe
- Reverse flow over configured time or volume
- No flow over configured time or volume
- Tampering
- Ambient temperature too high or low
- Water temperature too high or low
- Low battery
Communication alerts:
- NFC error
- Invalid configuration
Interal data backup and security
The meter has a permanent memory, in which up to 4000 log's are saved. The data logging interval and content is configurable. In case the maximum possible iog information is required, the following log history periods result:
| Log history period | Data logging interval |
|---|---|
| 4 days | 15 min |
| 16 days | 1 hour |
| 400 days | 1 day |
| 20 years | 1 month |
By default, each logging interval backup's the following data:
1. Cumulative, forward and reverse volume
2. All possible active alerts
3. Max. and min. flow rates incl. timestamp
4. Max. and min. temperatures incl. timestamp
The monthly/yearly log is written on the first day of the month/year, the daily log at midnight.
