In summary:
- Check that the THC has been enabled in Settings > Config > Technology > THC
- Check that the ADC channel number has been specified correctly for THC feedback
- Check that the reference voltage has been chosen correctly
- In Settings > Config > Technology > THC, check that the Alarm Arc Voltage Difference and Alarm Arc Voltage Rise aren't set to a value that's too low - in cases where the reference and the measured voltage are too different, a small value of the Alarm Arc Voltage Difference will prevent the THC system from starting. Set the value to 1000 to temporarily disable this feature.
- Check that THC is enabled in the User Settings
