All be quiet! power supplys are equipped with numerous safeguard functions. They protect the user as well as the
power supply and the connected components. When one of these safeguards is triggered, then a rebooting or
deactivation of the system is the consequential result. Should this happen, the PC should be immediately checked
for possible errors. In order to systematically detect such errors, please read the chapter „Troubleshooting" on the
following pages. The Straight Power series disposes of the following safety functions:

OVER CURRENT PROTECTION

When the load on the individual circuits consists of more than the specified limit, the power supply automatically
deactivates
UVP (UNDER VOLTAGE PROTECTION)
This safeguard triggers when the voltage in the circuits falls below a certain limit. In this case, the power supply is
then automatically deactivated.
OVP (OVER VOLTAGE PROTECTION)
The over voltage safeguard is triggered when the voltage in the circuits is too high and the power supply deactivates.
SCP (SHORT CIRCUIT FUSE)
The safeguard during a short circuit in the secondary section of the power supply prevents a defect to the power
supply and its components.
OTP (TEMPERATURE SAFEGUARD)
If the temperature within the power supply rises to a level where the hardware might be damaged the power supply
will automatically turn off. When the temperature falls the power supply can be used again. Always make sure that
your system receives enough cooling.
OPP (OVER POWER PROTECTION)
This safeguard is triggered when the entire performance demanded of the power supply is higher than the specified
peak load. This can happen if the power supply doesn't dispose of enough performance ability.
