    Wizard for heater control

    In the past (before wizard) we would have elaborate codes to compensate for a faulty probe or heater. For instance a code that states if temp falls to xx temp then heaters off, or if temp rises to xx temp the heaters off.

    Now that the wizard is utilized, all we do is set the on and off temp. Does the wizard have fail safes programmed into it that we don't see? the reason why I ask is that I started looking back at my output history and one thing that became evident is that the heaters were on for 60 minutes and then shut off. I have a total of 900w of heaters and recently I removed one 200w heater and noticed that the heaters were still running at 1 hour intervals. Is this coincidence or is it a maximum time the heaters are allowed to run?

    The task or heater control type does not include those failsafes. They have to be added manually.
