The Menu Item 'Inner Temperature; The Menu Item 'Temperature Fuse; The Menu Item 'Led-Check - GALAXIS SHOWTECHNIK PYROTEC PFE Advanced Mini 5 Outputs User Manual

The menu item 'Inner Temperature'

The temperature inside of the device is displayed in this menu item as a user information.
You should take precautions to prevent excessive overheating if the device is operated in extremely
hot environments. Especially in very hot countries the device should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
In most cases a simple protective cover will give shadow and will be sufficient to prevent overheating.
The battery's life is reduced if the device is exposed to warm environments continuously.

The menu item 'Temperature fuse'

A temperature fuse is build-in the device. This fuse is blown as soon as the temperature rises over
72°C.
Sometimes a device becomes overheated in an SFX application e.g. if the fire department was not
able to extinguish the fire fast enough after the shot was taken. This function enables the user to
check afterwards if the device was overheated excessively. In this case you should send the device to
the manufacturer to be checked thoroughly and repaired if necessary.
If the temperature fuse is blown the function of the device itself is not locked or limited but you should
have the device checked before using it the next time. The high temperature trip point is also
recognized if the device is turned off.

The menu item 'LED-Check'

This menu item is used to check if all six multicolor LEDs are operating properly.
This is the course of the test procedure:
Chasing light in primary colors red, green and blue;
all LEDs on in primary colors red, green and blue, one after another;
all LEDs on in combination colors magenta, yellow, cyan and white.
Magenta is the combination color of red and blue. Yellow is the combination color of red and green.
Cyan is the combination color of blue and green. White is the combination color of red, green and
blue.
The temperature is allowed to vary in the range from -20 to +65°C. The LCD
is becoming slow in extremely cold environments. This effect is completely
normal and does not impair the function.
If you see this display the temperature fuse is OK.
The temperature fuse is blown. The device needs to be checked.
If the temperature fuse is blown a warning display is shown every time
after powering up the device.
The status of this menu item can also be displayed at the controller PFC
Advanced by using the function 'Remote data request'.
You can start the test by activating 'Up'. The next menu item is being
entered with 'Down' or 'Mode'.
