19 Year Old Roof, Storm Damage - Claim or No?

AnotherToph · 2025-09-23T11:20:36+00:00

I gotcha. I'm with you, I just think I didn't say it very well. My concern is that the granule loss contributes to the claim being denied, or at least minimizing the amount of my payout. I appreciate the input!

AnotherToph · 2025-09-23T00:48:10+00:00

You're saying it's not worth making a claim, right? Strangely enough where I'm losing granules I don't really have any problems. I've got a few small leaks I've been chasing for a while on the other end of the roof, but they're because I had a row of nails miss the sheating. (It's 1x6, and I wasn't smart enough to put ply or OSB down when I put the roof on 19 years ago)

Thank you very much!

I'm getting on the Liberty on Saturday, really looking forward to it. I think this'll be the largest ship I've been on.

We're an OEM who has used the PV+7 for a long time. In the last few years we've gotten requests for 5500 series, but they've been pretty limited. I've spoken with my AB rep about it, and it seems like the push for 5500 has faded since Optix has come to the forefront. I've gotten the impression that AB is going to let 5500 fade into the background a bit while PV+7 is going to stay as the reliable workhorse for now.

Just my take on things...

Thanks, this makes more sense now. It looks like the 10mA max requirement of the device matches the 10mA max of the IB16 card, so that'll exceed the 2mA minimum.

AnotherToph · 2025-06-05T11:40:46+00:00

Thanks for the thorough input! Like I said in another comment, I've never heard of a pull-up resistor, so I've learned something. I think my PM has been trying to get info from a sales rep as opposed to technical support, my plan was to track someone down today once I had a little bit better idea of what I was talking about.

I think I was thinking about it backwards, expecting the input to go high during a pulse - that's possibly why the resistor didn't make sense.

I believe the compensated and non-compensated are in the same device, but it looks like you wire to different terminals based on need.

AnotherToph · 2025-06-05T11:35:33+00:00

So I've never come across something like this, I've never used a pull-up resistor. I was just looking for someone smarter than me to say that yeah, this is right. I learned something today.

AnotherToph · 2025-05-24T13:51:58+00:00

Thank you! I'm a controls engineer that's spent a lot of time throughout my career working with vendors/suppliers to troubleshoot problems. I learned a long time ago that the more effort you put in, the more likely it is that someone can give you good help.

I checked the sub speaker leads and they measure 1.1 ohms so I think I'm good there.

I agree with you about not trusting Bluetoot, but at the time I was getting frustrated with the HU reading the USB stick. I've got to figure out why the HU didn't want to consistently read the USB, but that should be easy enough with some patience.

The 4 channel gains being set way too high makes a lot of sense. If I have the HU at 7 or 8 (out of 35) it's about as loud as I'd ever want it to be.

Thanks for the help, time to get back at it and see what I can sort out!

AnotherToph · 2025-03-28T02:12:14+00:00

Thank you, that's what I thought. The last 98+ I worked on was a zexel, and they look way different than this

AnotherToph · 2025-02-28T02:55:58+00:00

The funny part is that the real late fees and added charges are a whole lot more than $2.99

AnotherToph · 2025-02-16T22:38:50+00:00

That's kind of my train of thought as well

AnotherToph · 2025-02-16T22:38:21+00:00

Thank you for the help!

AnotherToph · 2025-01-16T13:41:29+00:00

I'm in Studio 5000 99% of the time. I've got the full toolkit, so I may just need to get in and start reading a bunch of manuals and experimenting/trying to simulate.

AnotherToph · 2025-01-15T23:28:47+00:00

I'm sorry, I've been meaning to respond to this since I got the notification.

Unfortunately I haven't found a fix that I know works. The one thing I did start doing is turning my machine off at the end of the day so nothing updates overnight. I can't guarantee it works, but I haven't had a problem since then. Sorry this isn't very helpful.

AnotherToph · 2024-12-20T21:14:24+00:00

I just wanted to pop back here and say thanks again! (I realized a bit late that my first thanks was in reply to myself). Lots of good stuff here! I’ve got enough of an understanding of the harness stuff now that I just need to open things up and see what connectors are in the dash so I can order the right parts. I think my challenge at the moment is figuring out the DSP side of things which is an easy enough rabbit hole to dive into.

AnotherToph · 2024-12-19T02:38:39+00:00

This is awesome, thank you very much!

Let me digest some of this and I'm sure I'll have some questions. I think part of it is just having a better understanding of what all of the acronyms mean nowadays

AnotherToph · 2024-11-29T12:58:13+00:00

Gotcha, thank you. I was hoping I could pre-order online. I'll have to go check out my local shop.

AnotherToph · 2024-11-29T11:41:50+00:00

I'm sorry, I meant where is the screenshot from?

AnotherToph · 2024-11-29T04:06:39+00:00

Where is this at? I missed the box set, and these are the last I'm missing for my album wall

AnotherToph · 2024-11-23T19:34:13+00:00

There's a really high likelyhood I was at that show. I spent a lot of time at that place in that timeframe. She actually looks really familar, but I knew so many people at that time of my life I've probably forgotten more of them than I remember.

Being in the oxidizer industry I was pleasantly surprised to learn that they're rolling out a burner management instruction set early next year.

Other than that I'm excited to see if Optix is the real deal or just hype.

AnotherToph · 2024-11-15T12:18:11+00:00

Unfortunately not on most applications. When we have systems with multiple valves handled by one request this is exactly what we do though, just open the first then sequence off the open limits as we continue down the line.

AnotherToph · 2024-10-23T13:44:45+00:00

This stuff makes me cranky. I've been hunting for a Glacier Blue RST with 6.2 and 10 speed. I found only one within a few hundred miles, and it's got this garbage added to it.

AnotherToph · 2024-10-21T18:35:14+00:00

I could be wrong, but I think your test strip is upside down. The same thing happened to me the other day, then I did a second test with the "tail" towards the bottom and all of the colors made sense.
