Appendix B — Error Messages
It is important to keep the fan inlet and exhaust ports clear of obstructions. The cooling fan
will vary the speed in relation to the internal temperature of the instrument. The fan will
turn on at low speed when the internal temperature of the instrument reaches 44ºC, and will
increase the fan speed to maximum at 54ºC. As the internal temperature of the instrument
decreases, the fan will reduce speed until the temperature reaches 39ºC, at which point the
fan will turn off.
