+Apologies if the english translation is not always correct.
+
+ Function
+ --------
+Control a 3pin or 4pin fan (PWM) depends from the average
+of the 2 highest temperature values.
+Slowly regulation, because temperatures are not too
+change quickly and there should no unnecessary CPU load.
+
+ Security Features
+ -----------------
+If 20min no reports of the fan speed, it is assumed that the
+fan is defective. Regularly appears on the TV then an
+appropriate message.
+If standby mode the fan is off, the fan switched on, when the maximum
+temperature is exceed. The temperature drops by more than 3C the fan
+turns off again. The fan runs in the first 10 minutes with
+minimum speed.
+The overheat protection can be increased by up to 9C.
+It can be set when shutting down the box, at which temperature and
+fan failure.
+
+ Preferences
+ -----------
+ Fan off in Standby
+yes = Fan will be turned off if the box is in standby
+yes, Except for recording or HDD= Fan is turned off in standby
+if there is no recording and HDD is in Sleep-Mode
+
+ Min speed
+At Temperature "static-temperature" and below it is set this
+speed.
+
+ Max speed
+At Temperature "end-temperature" it is set this speed.
+
+ Static temperature
+Until this temperature is not regulated, min speed is set.
+
+ End Temperature
+This is the maximum temperature may occur, is
+this achieved, we will set the max speed.
+
+ Initially, voltage and PWM
+When changing the values the fan is immediately set with these
+values. It can now be directly read off the speed. The controlling
+is nevertheless once again active. So quick look or change the
+values.
+These values are set when the box boots up or if the fan was
+switched off in standby.
+
+ for 3pin Fan type
+For regulation of voltage 3-pin fan with tachometer signal.
+Is controlled only the voltage. Settings for PWM have no control.
+Sets the initial voltage to a value of Rotation rate,
+with the fan at the start of the Box initially intended to run.
+From this starting speed is regulated.
+
+ for 4pin Fan type
+For regulation PWM, 4-pin Fan. First is controlled the PWM value.
+If the control range is no longer sufficient, if possible, also
+regulate the voltage.
+The voltage adjustment is required. Set the voltage on the
+Maximum value (for DM500HD set 5-10). But also a lower voltage level
+is useful. A lower voltage means a lower maximum speed and a lower
+minimum speed. Set the voltage as possible so that the control
+range with PWM enough.
+There are also fans spin at PWM = 0 to be too high.
+Reduce the voltage here, until the desired min Speed (including 0 is
+possible) is achieved. Have also the max speed in mind.
+PWM provides a value that corresponds to the speed, initially run
+the fan at the start of the Box. From this speed is regulated.
+
+ for Fan type Control disabled
+The regulation is disabled. The fan runs with the last parameters
+further. The fan is not turned off!
+
+ Check
+ -----
+This attempts to determine the minimum speed of the fan
+for the startup and the minimum before the fan speed goes
+shutdown.
+Similarly, the maximum speed for these settings is
+determined. (OK) mean value matches the settings
+(!!) values do not match. These details are for information
+and do not affect the regulation, within the possible.
+4Pin to be displayed in addition information on the wider
+control range. That means it is on the PWM area also changed
+the voltage.
+
+ Temperature Monitor
+ -------------------
+With the "info key", can the individual values of the temperatures
+are shown.
+Press the Info button for single reading of HDD temperature.
+
+ Special Setup
+ -------------
+With the "Menu key" special values can be defined.
+Action in case of fan failure [show info]
+ Notification of defective fan, box shut down or do nothing.
+Box shutdown at temperature (C) [65]
+ Upon reaching the specified temperature, the box switch off
+ (DeepStandby).
+Thermal protection increase at (C) [0]
+ If the fan is off in standby the fan switched on at maximum
+ temperature. This maximum temperature can be increased by
+ up to 9C
+read HDD-Temperature in HDD-Standby-Mode [auto]
+ yes = read HDD temperature in HDD-Standby
+ no = read HDD temperature only when HDD is active
+ Auto = at the start of FC2 once tested whether the HDD
+ starts, and if so reading is disabled
+ never = Temperature is never read
+DMM fancontrol disabled [No]
+ Appears in the skins with temperature, the DMM-FanControl is active
+ and also switch the fan. It caused unwanted on/off operations.
+ Recommendation: Disable DMM-FanControl
+See Monitor in extension menu [Yes]
+ Monitor shown in the extension menu (Long-Blue-Button).
+WebIF number of log entries [40]
+ How many events should be show in WebIF.
+ 40-999
+Logging directory
+ Choose the "OK" the place to which directory the log files are written.
+ Data is written only if least 10MByte are free.
+Enable Data Logging
+ There will be written every minute a record in the file FC2data.csv.
+ This can called directly in Excel. If this file does not exist and will
+ Option enabled, a header is generated.
+ about 4kBytes each hour
+Auto-Delete Data older than (days) [No]
+ Data-logging-Data older than this definition are
+ deleted.
+ Starting: daily at 00:00 and at Enigma2 start
+Enable Event Logging
+ There will be written all Events in the file FC2events.txt.
+ about 30kByte each hour
+
+ Web Interface
+ -------------
+Call: http://dreamboxip/fancontrol
+Displays information about current fan-values and the last
+Event logs. Per hour a value for temperature and Speed is appears.
+With "FC2 Log", the log files are downloaded and the logging can be set.
+"FC2 Chart" shows online diagrams of the last 48 hours. The Data
+Logging must be enabled to do so. It must be present at least 2.5h data!
+When using Firefox, it may happen that the diagram does not
+display properly. Then, an additional Page refresh (F5) is necessary.
+
+ Miscellaneous
+ -------------
+All important for the fan current readings
+appears as a value and bar graph. The bar display
+range is based on the individually set parameters.
+FanControl2 is prepared for different languages.
+POT file is in ipkg if anyone other languages
+would make available.
+The settings are stored in the normal Enigma2 settings and
+are therefore included in the backup / restore.
