Status of Fans and Power Supplies
Basically, any configurable module is able to monitor the status of fans and power supplies
which are located in the same frame. A RUB1 chassis holds one fan and up to two power
supplies. A RUB3 chassis holds two fans and up to two power supplies.
This monitoring feature has to be switched on: Click on the ‘
Fan monitoring
’ check box of
the ‘System” function utilizing one of the Rubidium configuration tools:
If more than one module has “Fan Monitoring” enabled, there will be only one module which
indeed is responsible for monitoring.
Example of a “
Fan Monitor
“ status display: GT (left side) is not responsible for monitoring but
refers to module GPS 10 MHz (right side).
Failure of a fan: “
fan failure
=
yes
“ will be indicated if a blocking or a stop has been
detected.
An
alarm
(fan or power supply) will be generated if the temperature rises above 65 °C.
