Alerting via an Alphanumeric Pager

NOTE

For detailed information about building a framework for alerting via an alphanumeric pager, refer to the

Alert module description in the online ION Programmer’s Reference.

If an alphanumeric pager is specified as the destination address in the Alert module, then an alphanumeric paging service receives a message from the ION meter.

Once the modem at the paging service is contacted, the ION meter transmits the following information:

Pager identification number

Local time (year, month, date, hours, minutes, seconds)

Remote site identification

Priority of the alarm

Alert message, with text strings and realtime measured values

To include a module’s Source input in the message, reference the message string by using the form %Vn, where n is the Source input number. In the following Message register setting, the kWtot value is %V1. The string includes Source input 1 which would be the kWtot register from the Power Meter module.

The destination register contains your modem access number for the paging service provider and is what is dialed out first. The Pager Num register is the pager access number that is provided by your paging company.
