===== This Board's Power Problems ==================== BULLETIN # 6 =====
This board has been experiencing short power failures regularly for
the past 90 days. I have gotton with Utah Power & Light on several
occasions to see if they could solve the problem. Their response
has been "It's in your wiring..."
Big help!! Well - I don't think it is in the wiring since the neighbors
are experiencing the same problems I am. What occurs is that the power
drops off line for just about 1 second. The computer of course goes
down at that time - usually not gracefully. Since the power usually
surges right back on - the computer does not have enough time off-line
to reset itself and therefore the board never comes back up!
I have installed what I hope is the solution. It is an interrupt timer
made by AGASTAT - Part # SSC12ACA ,1-30 second adjustable. What it does
is close a relay when power is supplied. If power is dropped - even for
a second - the relay opens and will not reclose until the time specified
has expired. I have set it for 10 seconds. Even if you get dumped in
the middle of a call - at least the board will come back on-line in
about 10 seconds. Hope that solves the problem...
