When the soft cutout turns off power to the furnace,
CUTOUT shows in the display. The Product stays in this
condition until the temperature of the furnace goes below
the cutout temperature and the setpoint is set again.

Hard Cutout

The Hard Cutout disables the heaters if the control
thermocouples sense that the furnace temperature is
above a factory-set limit. It also cuts out if a control
thermocouple is open-circuit or disconnected.
The hard cutout temperature is set at the factory and can
be seen through the user interface. This is not a user-
accessible parameter. When the hard cutout turns off
power to the furnace, the temperature must decrease a
few degrees below the hard cutout temperature to reset.

Chassis Thermostat Cutout

The Chassis Thermostat Cutout turns off power if the
chassis temperature is too hot. The power stays off until
the temperature of the chassis decreases a few degrees
below the cutout temperature. This is not a user-
accessible adjustment.

Fan Fault Cutout

The Fan Fault Cutout turns off power to the furnace when
a fan fails. The furnace stays off until the fan is repaired.

TC or Heater Fault Cutout

The TC Fault Cutout turns off power to the furnace when
the product senses there is a problem with a control probe
or a heater. This protects the Product when a control
probe comes out of its socket or a wire in one of the
probes opens. This cutout also turns off the furnace if it is
in the heat mode and the temperature of the furnace does
not increase. When this cutout turns off furnace power, TC
OR HEATER FAULT! shows in the display. The probe or
heater must be repaired or replaced to reset this cutout.
