5-2. Overheating
Thermostats TP1, TP2, and TP3 protect the unit from damage due to overheating. If one or more of the heat sinks get
too hot, TP1, TP2, and/or TP3 opens and output stops. The fan keeps running to cool the heat sink(s). Wait several
minutes before trying to heat.
5-3. Automatic Shutdown Protection
This unit automatically shuts down upon sensing certain fault conditions, such as an out-of-range frequency condition,
short circuit load condition, or an open circuit (no load) condition. The unit also has automatic voltage limiting and
power ratio limiting, which limits the output power based on improper load impedance.
