Two parallel power supply circuits provide power the peltier, cooling

and activates the alarms as a warning (without disturbing the power
supply to the printer).
A lockout modehascurrentfault andhistory LEDs indicating present

cancels the alarms, resets the LEDs to off and restores power to the
compressor.
Removing power to the compressor causes a pressure fault which is
sensed by the printer. The printer will perform a soft shut--down and
raise a red alert.
