Device temperature
61276
The internal temperature sensor and the light sensor of the device can be read out with the software.
The device primarily heats up due to the following factors:
•
Solar radiation
•
Ambient temperature
•
Installation conditions
•
External heating
•
Current consumption (display illumination etc.)
The device heats up considerably under demanding operating conditions. The device temperature
must not exceed the maximum permissible value of 80°C.
The values provided by the internal temperature sensor can e.g. be used for the following actions:
► Comply with the maximum permissible ambient temperature
► Reducing the display brightness to decrease the self-heating
► Protect the unit from external heat (e.g. from other units).
► Warning the operator about heating and an upcoming switch-off of the display
► Switch-off of the display
NOTICE!
Internal temperature exceeds the
permissible value (→ Data sheet)
>
Malfunction or damage to the device possible
► Reduce device temperature.
► Take appropriate measures to prevent further heating up of the device.
