Indication of meter states, system alarms and warnings
The FLOWSIC600 gives information about alarms and warnings in the following ways:

A status output can be configured to indicate if the meter status "Data invalid", the
meter status "Check request" or the "Warning" status become active.
●
The pulse output can be configured to indicate if the meter is in Configuration Mode or
if the meter status "Data invalid" becomes active.

The meter status registers can be read via MODBUS (see document "FLOWSIC600
Modbus Specification").
