| **Alarm Tag** | **Alarm Description** | **Long Description** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| FC_COMM_FAIL | Device comms fail | The FerIT Node is not able to communicate with the connected device.  Poll this alarm to check it is still current, inspect the connection between the FerIT node and the device including the cable and plugs.  Check battery voltage.  The problem could be power, the connection or the device itself.  Raise a support ticket if problem persists. |
| FC_LOW_BAT_VOLT_ALARM | Low Battery | The weather station is reporting a low battery voltage.  Check the battery voltage at the AgPod gateway, check all connections/cables if AgPod battery voltage is OK.  Raise a support ticket if problem persists. |
| FC_RTC_CLOCK_FAIL | RTC Clock Fail |  |
| FC_MAX_WIND_SPEED_EXC | Max. Wind Speed Exceeded | The weather station is reporting wind speed outside of the measureable range.  Raise a support ticket if unexpected. |
| FC_RAIN_CHAMBER_BLOCKED | Rainfall Chamber Blocked | The weather station has detected a blockage in the rainfall chamber.  Perform a flush as per the user guide.  If this alarm occurs with ‘Rain Chamber Flush Fail’ and ‘Rainfall Chamber Leakage’, check battery voltage.  Raise a support ticket if problem persists. |
| FC_RAIN_SIG_LOW_AMP | Rainfall Signal Low Amplitude | The weather station has detected a low amplitude on the rainfall signal.  Raise a support ticket if problem persists. |
| FC_SN_DUMP_FAIL | Rain Chamber Flush Fail | The weather station has detected a failure for the solenoid flush mechanism to actuate.  Perform a flush as per the user guide.  If this alarm occurs with ‘Rainfall Chamber Blocked’ and ‘Rainfall Chamber Leakage’, check battery voltage.  Raise a support ticket if problem persists. |
| FC_PTU_ERROR | PTU Comms Error | The weather station has lost communication with the pressure/temperature/humidity sensors.  Raise a support ticket if problem persists. |
| FC_RAIN_CHAMBER_LEAKAGE | Rainfall Chamber Leakage | The weather station has detected leakage of the rainfall chamber.  Perform a flush as per the user guide.  If this alarm occurs with ‘Rain Chamber Flush Fail’ and ‘Rainfall Chamber Blocked’, check battery voltage.  Raise a support ticket if problem persists. |
| FC_PTU_TEMP_DISCREPANCY | Temp. Sensor Discrepancy | The weather station has detected a discrepancy between the two temperature sensors.  Raise a support ticket if problem persists. |
| FC_PTU_HUM_DISCREPANCY | Humidity Sensor Discrepancy | The weather station has detected a discrepancy between the two humidity sensors.  Raise a support ticket if problem persists. |
| FC_PTU_PRES_DISCREPANCY | Baro Pres. Sensor Discrepancy | The weather station has detected a discrepancy between the two barometric pressure sensors.  Raise a support ticket if problem persists. |
| FC_TEMP_HUM_AVG_ERR | Invalid Temp./Humidity Reading | The weather station has detected a temperature or humidity reading outside of the measurable range.  Raise a support ticket if unexpected. |
| FC_PRES_AVG_ERR | Invalid Baro Pressure Reading | The weather station has detected a barometric pressure reading outside of the measurable range.  Raise a support ticket if unexpected. |
| FC_GL_RAD_AVG_ERR | Invalid Solar Rad. Reading | The weather station has detected a solar radiation reading outside of the measurable range.  Raise a support ticket if unexpected. |
| FC_WIND_24H_AVG_ERR | Invalid Wind Speed Reading 24h | The weather station has detected an average wind speed reading outside of the measurable range.  Raise a support ticket if unexpected. |
| FC_TEMP_HUM_24H_AVG_ERR | Invalid Temp./Hum. Reading 24h | The weather station has detected an average temperature or humidity reading outside of the measurable range.  Raise a support ticket if unexpected. |
| FC_TILT_STATUS | Tilt Status | The weather station accelerometer has detected it tilted beyond the acceptable threshold.  Check on site and adjust.  Raise a support ticket if unexpected. |
| FC_RAIN_9AM_LIM_EXC | Max. Rain Since 9am Exceeded | The weather station has detected an total rainfall reading outside of the measurable range.  Raise a support ticket if unexpected. |
| FC_RAIN_24H_LIMIT_EXC | Max. Rainfall / 24hrs Exceeded | The weather station has detected an total rainfall reading outside of the measurable range.  Raise a support ticket if unexpected. |
| FC_WS_COMMS_FAIL | WS Communication Fail | The AgPod is not able to communicate with the connected device.  Poll this alarm to check it is still current, inspect the connection between the AgPod and the device including the cable and plugs.  Check battery voltage.  The problem could be power, the connection or the device itself.  Raise a support ticket if problem persists. |
