The +12 VOUT output voltage line is also monitored. The output is 
protected with a 0.9 A self-resettable fuse. If the fuse has disconnected a 
line due to, for example, a temporary short-circuit, the software 
disconnects the entire output and waits for approximately one minute for 
the fuse to cool and reset itself back to operation, and then connects the 
+12 VOUT voltage back on-line. If the short-circuit is still present and 
the fuse disconnects the line, the software will not try to connect the 
voltage back on-line for a second time but generates a +12 OUTPUT 
DISCONNECTED indication. Then the voltage can be returned to the 
+12 VOUT pin only by resetting the FSC202 board or by an advanced 
level command SET +12VOUT ON. 
The isolated 5 VDC operating voltage for RS-485 (V5I) is switched on 
only when the selected communication method with the unit is RS-485 
(command SET DATA_PORT MODE RS-485 is given).

The validity of the measured values is determined in the following way: 
The temperature and humidity are monitored to verify that the sensor is 
connected and the values are in their valid measurement ranges. The 
valid range for temperature measurements is between 0 ... 2.5 V. The 
exceptions are the surface (see Figure 39 below) and external (connector 
on FSC202) temperatures which are Pt100 measurements. Their valid 
range is from -60 °C to +80 °C. The valid range for the humidity probe 
measurement is 0 ... 1 V.
