Northstar98 Posted May 2, 2020 Posted May 2, 2020 It's limited by heating AFAIK, leaving it on for a long time will overheat it.

Harker Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 ahhh nice… so keeping it off for a while re-enables it ? next time it will happen i will try ! thanks !It hadn't occurred to me, but I think that if you let it overheat, you risk damaging it, so it might not be possible to get it working again unless you mount a new TPOD.

LTRMcrew Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 The TPOD has a self protect mode, so if you leave it on, it will turn itself off when it gets too hot and stay off until it cools down. Now I can't remember if you need to cycle it off and back on to get it to work again once it's cooled off.
