Response to overtemperature
Operation at overtemperature reduces the module service life and can result in damage to
the module.
Causes
Cause of problems in the heat dissipation of the module can be, for example:
● Violation of the maximum permissible air intake temperature
● Free convection is not ensured (clearances are not maintained, pollution, convection is
● Impermissible mounting position of the module
Temperature thresholds
The internal module temperature is monitored via two module-specific temperature
thresholds:
● Overtemperature is signaled when the first (lower) temperature threshold is exceeded.
● When the temperature falls below the first temperature threshold again (minus a
● When the second (higher) temperature threshold is exceeded, the module shuts down in
