Description

The temperature of the control unit is higher than the specified value.

Remedy

1. If the ambient temperature is higher than the specified temperature (45 degrees C), provide ventilation to reduce the ambient temperature to the specified value. 2. Check that the fans are operating normally. If not, check the fan motors and fan motor connection cables. Replace any faulty fan motor(s) and/or cables(s). 3. If the thermostat on the backplane printed circuit board is faulty, replace the backplane unit.

Field diagnosis

The internal cabinet temperature exceeds the limit; the robot stops one minute later.

What to check

  • If the workshop exceeds 45 °C, ventilate or air-condition.
  • Check the fans, cables and associated fuses.
  • If everything is sound and the cabinet is cool, the main board thermostat is at fault: full backup, then main board.
  • Note: A clogged air inlet filter drives the temperature up without any fan stopping.
