| --- | --- | --- |
| COMM_STATUS | Communication status | The FerIT Node has not communicated with the FarmConnect platform for 3 hours or more.  It is expected that the FerIT Node should send communication every 30 minutes.  Check the battery voltage, inspect the radio node antenna and make sure there are minimal obstacles between the FerIT Node antenna and the gateway (vehicles, buildings, trees or other growth) |
| FC_HARDWARE_FAULT | Power module hardware fault |  |
| FC_OUTPUT_VOLTAGE | 12V rail voltage in/out | The FerIT Node is reporting a 12 volt rail voltage outside of the expected range.  Check the battery voltage and resolve. |
| FC_OVERTEMP_ALARM | Overtemp alarm | The FerIT Node is reporting a high battery temperature and will shut off any high power devices to protect from damage.  This condition will clear when temperature reduces or this feature can be disabled on site - check documentation. |
