A module's input can be toggled on/off through the blue LOAD ON/OFF key on the front panel,
or the remote control.
Turning off the load does not affect the programmed setting. The load will return to the
previous programmed values when the Load is turned on again.

3.11 Protection Features

The load includes the protection features: Over power, Over temperature, Fan fail, and
Abnormal Alarms for Reverse Voltage and Over Voltage.
The appropriate bits in the Load status registers are set when any of the protection features or
alarm listed above is active. The Load's buzzer will beep to inform you till protection or alarm
status is reset. When any of the protection or alarm occurs, the Load input will turn off.
