    Why does my gefran AFE200 Power Supply show a heatsink temperature too high or too low alarm?
    • R
      Rachel JohnstonAug 29, 2025
      If your Gefran Power Supply shows a 'Heatsink temperature too high or too low alarm', it means the temperature has exceeded the set upper or lower limit for the linear temperature transducer. Verify the cooling fan is working correctly. Also, check that the heatsinks are not clogged and that the openings for cabinet cooling are not blocked.
