Over Temp Lamp illuminates
One or more fans inoperable Repair or replace fan(s)
Broken wire or unplugged connector
at thermal switch.
Repair broken wires and unplugged con-
nector
Obstruction to air flow closer than 3 feet
(1 m) to rear of power source.
Allow 3 ft. (1 m) minimum between the rear
of the power source and any object that may
restrict air flow.
Excessive dirt restricting cooling air
flow
Clean out excessive dirt, especially in the
extrusions for the IGBTs and freewheeling
diodes, the POS, NEG and Electrode Plates,
the main transformer (T1) and the filter
inductors (L1 and L2).
Obstructed air intake
Check and clear any obstructions from the
bottom, front, and top rear of the Power
Source.
