Three Modes Of Operation  

Your DigitalDoc5 has three basic modes, Set-Up Mode, Normal 
Operating Mode, and Scan Mode.

 

 

Set-Up Mode 

 

Set-Up Mode can be reached any time by pressing the 

Set Button

. Since 

we've already covered Set-Up Mode, we'll refer you back to Chapter 3, 

Setting Up Your DigitalDoc5

  

Normal Operating Mode 

Normal Operating Mode is the mode you will use most often and also the 
mode the DigitalDoc5 reverts back to from Set-Up and Scan Modes. 
During normal operation your DigitalDoc5 displays what fans are currently 
running (1-4) and the current Voltage readings (1-5). In Normal Operating 
Mode the DigitalDoc5 scans each Temperature Sensor (Channel) and 
displays it for 5 seconds, completing a cycle every 40 seconds. If you 
press the 

Up 

or 

Down Buttons 

the DigitalDoc5 will display the next 

Temperature Setting value. As it cycles through all 8 Temperature 
Sensors (Channels), the Fan Rotation (1-8) status icon will spin if the 
corresponding fan is currently running.  

Scan Mode  

Scan Mode 

Fig. 3 

is reached by pressing the 

Scan Button 

on your 

DigitalDoc5.  

                

 

 

Tip

 

While in Normal 

Operating Mode, pressing 
the Up or Down Button 
will quickly take you to 
and display the next 
Channel.  

Note

 

A "Channel" refers 

to both the Current 
Temperature Sensor and 
also its' corresponding  
fan. For Example, in 

Fig. 

1, 

it is currently displaying  

Channel 4 (CH 4) and the 
number 4 Temperature 
Sensor's reading is 26.3 
degrees Celsius.. It is also 
showing the current status 
of Fan number 4 (1-8).
