HC10003 — Crius board CPU too hot

Agfa CT error code, reported by the CPU Boards (Crius/Themis).

What HC10003 means

On DryStar 5500 (Type 5364/100) and DryStar 5503 (Type 5364/300) CT systems, status code HC10003 indicates: Crius board CPU too hot. The code originates in the CPU Board (Crius) — Thermal Protection section of the CPU Boards (Crius/Themis). Severity level alarm (Alarm).

Reported action: Check the obvious causes first: ambient temperature too high (continuous printing in an already-warm room, or the room itself too hot) and cooling of the Crius CPU board not efficient because airflow is blocked. If that looks fine, check connector P3 on the CPU board and the wiring from P3 to the F2 fan motor. If none of that clears it, fan F2 is defective and needs replacing..

Raised on the Drystar 5500/5503 when the temperature of the CPU on the Crius board is too high. Filed in the appendix's CPU-board fault-code table alongside the equivalent Themis board overheating code, HC10053.
