Temperature Monitoring/Indication

Temperature Monitoring
The temperature is measured by means of three temperature sensors. One sensor
monitors the processor temperature, the second the temperature in the area of the
processor module and the expansion cards and the third the temperature in the
area of the power supply unit.
S If the temperature near the power supply exceeds 45
set to maximum rpms. To activate this feature, the setting "Fan Control" has to
be turned on in the Setup menu (Sec. 6.1.4).
S If the temperature exceeds one of the three temperature values of the set thres-
holds, a temperature error is registered with the following effects:
Temp LED from GREEN to RED
Fan goes to maximum rpms.
The processor speed is reduced
Initiate IRQ
Temperature errors do not occur during the normal approved use of the device. If a
temperature error occurs, check the following possible causes:
S Are the ventilation slots blocked?
S Is the fan working?
S Is the ambient temperature higher than the allowed value?
S Has the total capacity for the power supply been exceeded?
The temperature error remains saved until the temperature thresholds are again
exceeded and are reset by one of the following measures:
S Acknowledge the error message via the SOM program
S Restarting the device.
