Event Logging and Errors/Alarms
Event Logging and Errors/Alarms
The SGM1400-B Series meters continually monitor for conditions that have been
configured to be recorded upon occurrence. These events, errors, and alarms can
be read locally via the optical port and a supported handheld/laptop device. They
can also be read remotely over the AMI system back to the headend or other
allowable remote devices.
Events, errors, and alarms are comprised of a variety of different conditions,
including the following:
• Serious error conditions (e.g., battery failure)
• Exceptional operational conditions (e.g., Power Up / Power Down)
• Normal configuration (e.g., clock time set)
• Normal billing events (e.g., asynchronous billing)
• Control of meter state (e.g., manual connection of SDR relay)
• Tamper conditions (e.g., meter cover removal)
Refer to Event Codes on page 89 for a complete list.
Event Logs
As events are raised, they are filtered into a series of event logs based on the
configuration of the meter. The SGM1400-B Series meter supports the following
