Heatsink Overtemperature

What does 8 mean?

The heatsink temperature exceeds 100% of the [Drive Temp] threshold. This indicates that the drive's cooling system is unable to dissipate heat effectively, risking thermal damage to the power components.

• Drive heatsink temperature exceeds operational limits.
• Cooling fan failure or obstruction.
• High ambient temperature around the drive.
• Excessive drive load causing increased heat generation.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Verify that the maximum ambient temperature around the drive enclosure has not been exceeded.

2. 2

   Check the operation of the cooling fan (e.g., for obstructions, wear, or failure).

3. 3

   Check for excess load on the motor, which would increase drive current and heat generation.
