Local Auditing
Note: Local auditing functionality is dependent on the module’s firmware version. For
more information, see Firmware Functionality on page 11.
The Cellular 500G supports local data auditing of installation programming. Local auditing
features the listed characteristics.
■
Supports writing data (in both manufacturing and by FDM) to the module to support future
installation programming auditing.
■
Reading the auditing data is supported locally.
■
Auditing parameters include FDM User ID, number of dials, meter drive rate, unit of
measure, count rate, rollover, and PComp.
■
Timestamping of auditing parameters.
■
Log access via Companion Specification for Energy Metering (COSEM) only.
Low Battery Event/Alarm
Note: For Cellular 500Gs, low-battery functionality is dependent on the module’s firmware
version. For more information, see Firmware Functionality on page 11.
The Cellular 500Gs’ low-battery events are flagged when the device reaches a 10% of battery
life remaining state. The event triggers an alarm configurable for asynchronous delivery to the
head end system.
