Cord reels

We have discovered problem with the cord reel for the Cert Vehicle and it affects the cord reel for 2541 as well.

With our new lighting project and sensors throughout the bay, somehow those two cord reels are wired into the sensor system.  Whenever the lights go out the cord reels lose power.  This means that both 2541 and the Cert vehicle have been off of the trickle chargers most nights.

This is a very tricky problem to diagnose or even discover, since whenever you walk through the bays to look at the vehicles, the sensors are tripped and the power is restored.  However, on a hot day like today, when the bay doors are open, the sensors are blocked by the doors and don’t activate to movement.  We tested the theory a couple times and it is confirmed.

We need to have the company that did the wiring job come out and correct the problem.
