• Low Battery – meter’s battery power is low. Alarm will be triggered
when there is about a month of power left in the battery.
• Measurement Fail – failure in collecting the data required for
calculating water flow.
• Leakage – when a given start time passes with the flow above the
configured threshold (see Alarm Thresholds).
• Flow Rate Alarm – when the flow rate exceeds the top threshold
(see Alarm Thresholds).
