Behavior upon failure of
fans
Failure indication
If a fan fails (its speed decreases) a fault is indicated, i.e. the red LED
assigned to the fan lights up:
"Fan 1" LED = left fan failed
"Fan 2" LED = middle fan failed
"Fan 3" LED = right fan failed
If a fan fails
If a fan fails, the following takes place:
Stage Description
1
A fan fails.
Result: - The red LED assigned to the fan lights up.
2
Contacts 9 and 10 in the "Warning" relay are closed.
3
The faulty fan is switched off.
4
The other two fans operate at increased voltage and an
audibly higher speed.
If another fan fails
If another fan fails, the following takes place:
Stage Description
5
Another fan fails.
Result: - The red LED assigned to the fan lights up.
6
Contacts 12 and 13 in the "Alarm" relay are closed.
Result: - "Alarm" LED lights up.
- Two "Fan" red LEDs light up.
7
A data save routine is started and, with the appropriate
jumper setting, an output inhibit is issued.
8
The power supply switches off, with the appropriate jumper
setting.
Resetting the fault messages
When the fault has been cleared (faulty fan replaced, filter mat
replaced), you can reset the fault messages by pressing the Reset
button.
Caution
You can suppress the shutdown of the power supply by opening
jumper F-R. In this case, you must ensure that the power supply is
switched off after 60 secs at the latest. This can be achieved with
a time relay, for example. This prevents modules from
overheating and becoming destroyed.
