     67Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is 
    6868triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. 
    6969In case when you have selected to turn Fan1 off, no Fan1 alarm is triggered.

    71 FAN readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4 or 8) to give 
    72 the readings more range or accuracy. This is important because some FANs 
    73 report only one 'tick' each rotation, while others report two. 
    74 Not all RPM values can accurately be represented, so some rounding is done. 
    75 With a divider of 2, the lowest representable value is around 1900 RPM.
