Well, the Miconic on the other side of the garage was shutting down consistently with a "K9 DPOWER Error" or something like that. Started messing with the voltage on the PS1 power supply. Everything was fine as long as the voltage stayed in the 5.1-5.2 range.
At the beginning of the summer the issues started getting pretty bad so we mounted a computer fan above the supply and have not had a problem with it in over a week. We will have to keep an eye on it. I brought up the individual power supply solution to my super and he ordered an extra to install so we will see how that goes.
The other problem with the car not answering hall calls seems to be some sort of communication problem i think. When I looked up the car status with the HHT it stated that the car was running on "block operation". I looked that up in the handbook and it said that the "slave is not communicating with master or loss of communication at "FC Link 1".
I noticed that when the master car goes on wild car DS 11 flickers on the MTV board at a very fast interval. Furthermore, the slave cars' DS 11 light is solid red when the master is in error state. So it seems like the master car is getting lost in the hatch or something and transferring master operation to the other car. These elevators have optical sensors in the COP. If one of those misses a reflector could that trip some sort of error that would cause this? Just trying to think of easy solution first.
