PS Audio 500 questions

I received a PS Audio 500 today that I purchased on Audiogon. I plugged a tube preamp and a tube phono preamp into the TWave setup sockets and plugged my CD and Turntable into the ultimate outlet sockets on the back. The output voltage was first set to 117V and the to 115V. The power usage display runs about 50% as it should, but after a few minutes the display binks HOT and the regneration outlets shut down. Did I purchase a bad unit or is there something I don't understand?

Ipy,
I pulled the cover and applied power. Sure enough the fan was not operating. I then plugged the unit back into the system at the 50% consumption to check if there was a load trigger and still no fan. I'll call them this morning because I can't see anything obvious like a disconnected plug.
Thanks,
Jeff
