out of regulation because the environment is too hot or too cold. State
Yellow indicates internal temperature is waiting for a timed delay to reach
GD stability, or temperature change is large in the past 2.5 minutes. State
Green indicates stable temperature, ready for normalization or

When the ODA power is cycled, the internal thermal regulator will
automatically come on, choose an initial temperature set point, and
provide the state Yellow timed delay for 80 minutes to reach state Green.

minutes, state Yellow will be displayed. When the environment becomes
stable again, state Green will be displayed without delay.
