Over Temperature Limit:
Amplifier junction temperature is monitored
continuously. If the temperature rises above a factory determined
limit, an Overheat Event will be recorded. If the event is transitory,
each excursion above the limit will increment the Overheat counter. A
yellow LED will remain illuminated until the counter is reset to zero.
Event counters serve as diagnostic tools for maintenance and system health
assessments. Only isolation control will alter the intended performance of the
system. Fan and Overheat events have no effect on the BDA.

output port. This is meant to aid in diagnostics if necessary.
