Each indicator can be either grey   if the state is normal or yellow 

  if there is an alarm on the given parameter. 

Note that if too high, the 

heatsink temperature

 can trigger two different alarms:  

 

Warning type alarm. The temperature is higher than the user set threshold (CONF.INT_TEMP.MAX) 

 

Default, the RF is shut off. The temperature is higher than the factory set limit (70° for modules 1000 
W or less, 80° for 1500 W modules, 90° for 2000 W modules).
