Protection from overheating
The internal temperature of the AFG31000 Series instrument is monitored. A warning message is
displayed if the internal temperature reaches a specified level and signal output is automatically
turned off.
If the warning message appears, check for the following conditions:
The ambient temperature requirement is correct.
The required cooling clearance has been provided.
The instrument fan is working properly.
