8.2.4 ET Tracking Diagnostics
Table 19 – Maximum ET Diagnostics
Electronics Temperature (ET) upper
operating limit from specification.
Units are same degree units as has been
selected for SV (Secondary Variable).
ET Upper
Limit for
Stress
Condition
Actual limit used in “Time Above Limit” and
“Time Since Last Event”. Value is equal to
“Max ET Limit” less 10% of limits range.
Electronics Temperature range is -40F to
185F for a total of 225F.
“ET Upper Stress Limit”= 185F - 10% of
225F = 162.5F.
None – calculation is automatic.
Highest Electronics Temperature ever
experienced by the device.
Units are same degree units as has been
selected for SV (Secondary Variable).
Time Above
Upper Stress
Limit
Accumulation of minutes that device’s
Electronics Temperature has been above
the value of “ET Upper Stress Limit”.
Backup once each 8 hour period
Time that has passed since the last time
device’s Electronics Temperature has
passed above the value of “ET Upper
Stress Limit” (in days, hours and minutes).
Backup once each 8 hour period
