Using Hijack's "High Temperature Warning Screen" gave the following:

Empeg just turned on: 68 degrees
Empeg normal operation: 100 degrees

After 100 degree reading stabilized, Turned the 2.25" x 2.25" x .4" fan mounted on top of emgeg powered by an Emco Regulated Power Supply on for probably less than 10 minutes: 77 degrees

nice.

I was just about to post about this. I did a 10 hour drive today, and my empeg still went over 55C. It seemed to stabalize at about 57C, but the fan didn't work as well as i'd have hoped in car. So the empeg spent most of the trip 2 degrees over spec.

Which reminds me... Mark... Is there any way you could have some sort of notification in Hijack if the fan is ON? It's pretty much impossible for me to tell if it's even working while driving... Maybe just a flashing F in the temp window or something?

Loren,

for the above test i pulled a fan off an amd heatsink. It is 2.4" square with 9 blades and really throws some air, its a
Thermaltake Model A6010S12C
12V
0.16 amps
29.5 dBA
19.7 CFM

i looked up the CF-86:
about 5 CFM @ 25 dBA <- can you verify this?

Well, robricc seems to have found several new recruits.

Oh, not that kind of fan.

It's a completely hardware controlled fan -- Hijack doesn't get involved with it, other than programming the hi/lo thermostat registers at startup.

I don't know if Hijack could read the (theoretical) fan state, but likely it could. I do know that Hijack *could* read the temperature from the controller (which will differ from the temperature read from the empeg mainboard). But it currently does not.

Cheers
