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?

This seems to be a common problem with some of the earlier P500s. I had a demo unit once from a dealer and it had the same problem. More than likely the fan is not working or the card that controls the fan is faulty. Contact PS Audio. They should be able to help and they are very customer focus.
Good luck........
