My Fan never comes on-
at what point / how / by what is the fan triggered?
How can it be diagnosed?
The casing literally gets too hot to comfortably touch,(*) I have had the intermittent Temp LED and on one day a constant Temp light.
If this where a laptop it would be going straight back to the manufacturer: If it is getting too hot - (for ANY reason) then the fan should come on - surely!
(*)This is NOT a ventilation/ load issue & the EasySolar < 2 months old
Hi Simon. This isn't normal. I've an Easy 48/5000 and *suspect* the fans come on based on load. They rarely do given my modest loads, and are large and very quiet. But they do come on if I load'er'up.
A hot casing is of concern. Talk to your supplier. Just the fans may be a simple on-site fix, but go whatever fix you must..
Thanks - I have already contacted them & am awaiting a site visit - I have mentioned the case heating to them before (before the Temp light came on) it gets hot enough that it is uncomfortable to keep fingers on it for more than a couple of seconds... I just wondered if there was a way to test the fan (other than having to max out the load !) - at the moment I am pointing my own fan at it!
