Gen5 500G ERT Module in Network Mode Check Endpoint Response Fields

Response Field

Description

Endpoint Id

The endpoint’s device identification number.

Endpoint Reading

The meter reading as reported by the endpoint.

If the endpoint reading value is underlined, you must click the value to format the read. For more information, see Formatting Gas and Electric Endpoint Readings.

Device Type

The endpoint model (Gen5 500G ERT Module).

Device Sub Type

The endpoint model subtype:

  • Remote. The device is a remote-mount ERT.
  • Direct. The ERT module is mounted directly on the gas meter.

Count Rate

The metrology value used with PCOMP, rollover, and counts to calculate the consumption value. Count Rate is displayed only if FDM is unable to determine the meter configuration. If you were not required to enter the meter's number of dials and billing units during the Check Endpoint workflow, then Count Rate is not returned in the Check Endpoint response.

PCOMP

The pressure compensation value programmed into the endpoint to compensate for the effect of atmospheric pressure on recorded consumption.

  • None. When the PCOMP value is None, then the endpoint is programmed with a PCOMP value of 10000.

Initial Reading

The meter reading on the register, at the time the ERT was last programmed.

If the initial reading value is underlined, you must click the value to format the read. For more information, see Formatting Gas and Electric Endpoint Readings.

Auto Wakeup Enable

Whether the Automatic Factory Mode Wakeup on Pulses Detected setting is enabled or not.

  • False
  • True

Active Events

The number of events that were active at the time of the Check Endpoint operation. The field name is a hyperlink that opens a list of the meter's tampers. See Endpoint Tamper/Event Code Descriptions for descriptions of the events.

Battery Status

The state of the endpoint battery's electrical charge:

  • Good. The battery's charge is at greater than 10 percent of capacity.
  • Bad. The battery's charge is at 10 or less of capacity.

Battery Counter

The amount of battery energy, in micro-amp-seconds, that has been used since the device was manufactured.

Time Drift

The number of hours/min/sec that the endpoint time has drifted from the network time.

Registration Status Bits

Indicates whether the endpoint is registered successfully. Responds with a True or False value for each of the following:

  • Endpoint Functions Correctly
  • Operations Manager Connection
  • Multicast Addresses Written

Tilt Debounce

The amount of time in milliseconds required for the mechanical contact on the tilt switch to settle before a signal from the switch is considered to be valid by the ERT module. This setting is used to adjust the sensitivity of the meter removal tamper indicator.

Roll Over

The maximum possible meter reading before the dials roll over to zero. The number of nines shown in this field corresponds to the number of meter dials. This setting is used with PCOMP, count rate, and counts to calculate the consumption value.

SSID

A 1- to 5-digit decimal representation of the Service Set Identification. All active devices in a utility company's service area must use the same SSID.

High Flow Threshold

The threshold at which a high flow event is created. Automatic shutoff will occur if it is enabled.

Register Fixed Firmware

The meter register fixed firmware's version number.

Register Fixed Firmware Hash Expected

The expected security hash of the register fixed firmware.

Register Fixed Firmware Hash Calculated

The calculated security hash of the register fixed firmware.

Register Firmware

The meter register firmware's version number.

Register Firmware Hash Expected

The expected security hash of the register firmware.

Register Firmware Hash Calculated

The calculated security hash of the register firmware.

Configuration Tag

The current configuration attached to the device.

Number of FWDL Initiated

The number of firmware download (FWDL) operations that have been initiated in the endpoint.

Projected Remaining Years

The meter's estimated remaining years left of battery life, calculated based on the current Battery Counter value which takes into account battery usage due to past endpoint operations. Because the amount of future operations is dependent on how the utility interacts with the endpoint, the Projected Remaining Years is not a guarantee of remaining endpoint battery life.
