     46Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is 
    4747triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. 
    4848In case when you have selected to turn Fan1 off, no Fan1 alarm is triggered 
    4949if measured temperature is below 'over temperature' limit.

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