Set Parameter 8901 = 10010001 binary (bits 7, 4, and 0 = 1) : This bit determines if the CNC monitors

The CNC monitors the fan speed. If a failure is detected, Alarm 701 is issued, often stopping the machine to prevent heat damage. Setting 1 (Shielding): If a failure is detected, Alarm 701 is

FANUC parameters are displayed as an 8-bit byte string (reading from right to left, starting at Bit 0).

⚠️ Operating with a disabled fan alarm exposes the CNC control unit to localized heat buildup. You must implement external, forced-air cooling (such as an industrial cabinet fan or vortex cooler) while the interlock is bypassed, and restore the factory setting ( 0 ) the moment the new fan is installed.
