Internal Ambient Temperature Sensor

7.1 Introduction

The Internal Ambient Temperature Sensor (IATS) is designed to monitor and forewarn
the operator of possible instrument damage due to overheating. Overheating can be
caused by high ambient temperatures, or interrupted and reduced flow of coolant.
An 'early warning' level is set to 50°C / 122°F. This gives an indication of possible over-
temperature within the instrument.
The maximum operating limit for the LSP Linescanner Head is 60°C / 140°F.

If the indicated internal temperature exceeds the stated limit, take action immediately
to provide additional cooling to the instrument. If additional cooling cannot be
provided, the instrument must be removed from the source of the excessive ambient
temperature in order to reduce the likelihood of any permanent damage.
The IATS can be accessed via the Landscan Configuration Software or Landscan WCA.
