Table 24. Excel 10 FCU Controller alarms. 
Name of alarm or alarm bit 
alarm type 
number 
meaning of alarm code or alarm bit 
No Alarm/Return to Normal:   
RETURN_TO_NORMAL  128  Return to no error after being in an error condition. This code is added 
numerically to another alarm code to indicate that the error condition has 
returned to normal. 
ALARM_NOTIFY_DISABLED  255  The alarm reporting has been turned OFF by the nviManualMode 
=SUPPRESS_ALARMS. No more alarms are reported until 
nviManualMode turns ON alarm reporting or upon application restart. 
ALM_NO_ALARM  0  No errors since last application restart; initial condition 
FCU Alarms:   
ALM_NODE_OFF  1  The control algorithm has stopped due to controller disabled, or in test 
mode, or other conditions 
ALM_FROST  2  The space temperature is below the frost alarm limit. The alarm condition 
remains until the temperature exceeds the alarm limit plus hysteresis. 
ALM_INVALID_SETPNT  3  One of the setpoints is not in the valid range 
ALM_TEMP_SENSOR_FAIL  4  Temperature sensor failed 
ALM_SETPNT_KNOB_FAIL 5  Remote setpoint potentiometer failed 
ALM_FAN_SPEED_SW_FAIL  6  Fan speed switch failed 
ALM_FAN_FAILURE  7  Fan is commanded to be ON, but the air flow detector input does not 
detect the fan running. 
ALM_COMFAIL_SPACE_TEMP 8  nviSpaceTemp is bound and has failed in receiving an update within its 
specified FAILURE_DETECT_TIME 
ALM_COMFAIL_HVACMODE  9  nviApplicMode is bound and has failed in receiving an update within its 
specified FAILURE_DETECT_TIME 
ALM_COMFAIL_SETPTOFFS  10  nviSetPtOffset is bound and has failed in receiving an update within its 
specified FAILURE_DETECT_TIME 
ALM_COMFAIL_SCHEDOCC 11  nviTodEvent is bound and has failed in receiving an update within its 
specified FAILURE_DETECT_TIME 
ALM_COMFAIL_DLC  12  nviDlcShed is bound and has failed in receiving an update within its 
specified FAILURE_DETECT_TIME 
ALM_COMFAIL_TEMPRESET 13  nviTempReset is bound and has failed in receiving an update within its 
specified FAILURE_DETECT_TIME 
ALM_COMFAIL_ODTEMP 14 nviOdTemp is bound and has failed in receiving an update within its 
specified FAILURE_DETECT_TIME 
ALM_COMFAIL_OCCSENSOR 15  nviSensorOcc is bound and has failed in receiving an update within its 
specified FAILURE_DETECT_TIME 
ALM_COMFAIL_WINDOW  16  nviWindow is bound and has failed in receiving an update within its 
specified FAILURE_DETECT_TIME 
ALM_COMFAIL_MANHEAT  17  nviManHeat is bound and has failed in receiving an update within its 
specified FAILURE_DETECT_TIME 
ALM_COMFAIL_MANCOOL  18  nviManCool is bound and has failed in receiving an update within its 
specified FAILURE_DETECT_TIME 
ALM_HW_SW_MISMATCH  19  The software is not compatible with the hardware configuration specified 
by the hardware configuration resistor value. Compatibility is checked 
only once after application restart.
