| **Alarm Tag** | **Alarm Description** | **Long Description** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| FC_G1_COMMISSION | Gate 1 Commissioned | The gate/valve is not commissioned.  Raise a support ticket for resolution. |
| FC_G1_ENC_ERROR | Gate 1 Encoder Integrity Error | The motor has detected a deviation in encoder counts per revolution.  Raise a support ticket for resolution. |
| FC_G1_NO_MOVE | Gate 1 No Movement Detected | The motor has detected no change in position during actuation.  Raise a support ticket for resolution. |
| FC_G1_OOS | Gate 1 Out of Service | The motor has detected one or more of the following alarms, refer to these alarms for further guidance: no gate movement alarm, encoder integrity error alarm, encoder position loss alarm, overtorque retries exceeded.  Raise a support ticket for resolution. |
| FC_G1_OVTRQ | Gate 1 Overtorque | The motor has drawn excessive current during operation and has stopped moving to prevent damage.  Move the gate in the opposite direction and inspect on site, removing any obstructions to movement.  If no obstructions found raise a support ticket for resolution. |
| FC_G1_SDB_COMM_STATUS | Gate 1 SDB Comm Status | The RTU is unable to communication with the solardrive PCB (motor control and power regulator board).  Raise a support ticket for resolution. |
| FC_G1_SDB_MOTOR_DISCONNECT | Gate 1 SDB Motor Disconnect | The solardrive PCB (motor control and power regulator board) has detected low battery voltage and has disconnected voltage from the motor to preserve power.  Raise a support ticket for resolution. |
| FC_PS_STOP | Stop Preset Control | Preset control has been stopped and preset irrigations will not operate.  Enable preset control to use preset irrigations again.  Raise a support ticket for resolution if required. |
| FC_SDB_RTU_DISCONNECT | SDB RTU Disconnect Pending | The solardrive PCB (motor control and power regulator board) has detected low battery voltage and will soon disconnect the RTU to preserve power, which will cause remote communications to be lost.  Raise a support ticket for resolution. |
| FC_PS_COMMS_FAILURES | DMS Preset Comms Failures | Presets in the gate do not match presets required by NeuroFlo.  Raise a support ticket for resolution. |
| FC_INSUFFICIENT_PATHS_ALARM | Insufficient Paths Alarm | The detected water level is too low to accurately measure flow and the reported flow value will be set to zero.  Raise the upstream water level to cover the meter box in order to measure flow.  Raise a support ticket for resolution if the problem persists when water level has been raised. |
| FC_LOW_FLOW_ALARM | Low Flow Alarm | The measured flow is lower than the low flow cutoff value and the reported flow value will be set to zero.  Raise a support ticket for resolution if the problem is unexpected. |
