MB PRO: How hot is too hot?

Although consuming only up to 2.5 Watts the Meteobridge PRO can heat up, especially when located somewhere not providing good air circulation. Today I run a small test by giving a MB PRO a test drive on my PCB preheating device. The Meteobridge did pretty well. Even when internal reading on the base board (thb9temp) went to 80°C it was still operating flawless, including WLAN, RF data reception and display. I did not heat up more, because 80°C is far beyond reasonable limits and a value hard to reach when you don't put it on a heating plate and I was not keen to damage the unit.

What I take away from this is, that while you should drive the Meteobridge PRO internal base board temp below 60°C to reduce wear of the components, it can at least stand 80°C for a shorter period of time.

In case you also want to inspect some system data on your Meteobridge PRO the newly defined Metachart "MBPRO-health" might be useful.

MBPro Health chart doesn't appear to be an option on MBPro2 or NANO/SD but shows up on a MBPRO, Has anybody tried MBPRO Health chart on the PRO2 or NANO?

I will add for PRO2. For NANO much of the data in the chart is not available (RF reception, power consumption) so the chart would be rather empty. As it is a metachart, everybody can generate by themselves anyway. Please see the metachart definition below.
