What does 5 mean?

When LED Diag 1 is off and LED Diag 2 flashes with code 5 (400ms ON / 400ms OFF), it indicates that the TwinSAFE component's internal temperature has exceeded its maximum safe operating limit. This environment error signifies an overheating condition, which can cause thermal stress on internal components, potentially leading to reduced lifespan, immediate shutdown, or component damage if not addressed.
