Command Ga - Temperature Alarm Queries - Baumer VeriSens ID Series Technical Documentation Manual

15.4.3 Command GA – temperature alarm queries
This function enables you to query the device's current temperature status.
An internal protection device intervenes when the device is operated outside of specification; this is intended
to protect the components against destruction by heat.
The Application Suite, the web-interface and the process interfaces will output an overheating warning to
notify users that the maximum permissible operating temperature has been reached (circa 85–90% of
loading, see the Request GT heat state command).
Should the housing temperature continue to rise, the device will undergo emergency shutdown to protect it
from damage.
