Further, with default setting of the Safety Bitmask (value = 255), the states of bits 0 to 7 are
handed over to the Status output pin - if any of the bits 0 to 7 is H, the Status level is "LOW"
and the TEC Current Output is switched off.
The Safety Bitmask can be used to mask any desired error at the Status output pin.
Attention
Masking an error may lead to damage of the MTD415T. For example, if bit 1 is masked,
exceeding the internal temperature will not be reflected on the status pin as an error and the
TEC output will not be disabled!
The safety bitmask can be programmed:
