The system is overheated.

If you can rule out the above mentioned causes, the alarm must be due to overheating. See to it that the ambient temperature at the front of the system does not exceed the operating temperature specified in section "Technical Data". If the temperature is within the range, check the ventilation holes of the system and free them from all obstructions (e.g. dust.) In case the problem persists, contact the DVS service department.
