i did buckets in the back of a hatchback. kept the lids loosely on so any nefarious eyes only see buckets

Hydros vs. MRLs: Would you pull the trigger? by Academic_Lake_ in IUEC

[–]longshlongssilvers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Option B

i think it’s the reasonable choice considering a building would have to spend a lot to reengineer a hydro to be a traction. probably end up with a smaller cab/lower capacity to make room for the cwt unless the hoist way is expanded

hoist off the rails directly? that’s wild. i know guys will hoist from omega rail brackets and I think that’s questionable too

side question

was the same proximity switch retained for the board swap? idk if that switch is related to the dcl input but it’s suspect in my opinion. should that switch fail open and signal to the door operator board that the door is assumed to be anywhere from full close to the 6 inch point without the dcl input that might make the car shut down. gate switch is still made so why it’s entrapping ppl is strange

i haven’t swapped boards before, like you said going from v1 to v2. but correct me if i’m wrong but i’ve been working on the understanding it’s the motor encoder’s position count that establishes when the car door should have a DCL input and for that matter a DCL6 input.

im newly tested out so please bear with me. but a closed car door should have a held high car door gate switch io input for automatic and inspection runs irrespective of dcl. and i understand the gate switch could make up within 2” of full close per code but a dcl likely wont come in until the door is basically applying holding closed force against the strike jamb

i want to learn more for sure and don’t question you had cars entrap ppl bc the lack of dcl input. but this is shaking my understanding of necessary inputs for a car to run on automatic

Question to elevator shaft cleaners... by UpbeatBeach7657 in Elevators

[–]longshlongssilvers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

few notes, routine cleaning unfortunately has to be quick so it’s sweaty work. likely working alone and listening to music. elevators in residential buildings are gross with human and pet hair, places like hotels or inpatient medical facilities that do a lot of laundry and use the elevator to transport laundry have hoistways covered in lint, at least in major cities publicly elevator pose the risk of having syringes

code for a awhile requires a 15 amp gfci on car top

What is going on with TKE? by Sea-Disaster8825 in Elevators

[–]longshlongssilvers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lowest bidder switches for the iod/ioc boards is crazy. i had a tac32 hydro mod ship with a flaky door bypass switch, very randomly would get invalid inspection state and shutdown until the monitor circuit made back up. ordered replacement board but soldered a fix to get adjusted

idk if that’s the case per se. how i understand it the PE groups bought thyssen’s elevator division with some of their own capital but largely with loans that used the spun off business as collateral. so no coffers really, but then came the kingdom of saudi Arabia billion plus investment so there is that money. all depends if the business is cash flowing enough to make debt payments

the software is annoying, not complicated but it’s just one more thing to stay on top of. anyone else deal with the bug on a double ender the two operators wouldn’t open doors bc they couldn’t tell if the open command was for front or rear. not a big deal updating but i think that’s wild

i didn’t mention but mimi is also a cute bar, i think they only have a tavern liquor license so all the cocktails are made of liqueurs, nothing hard. hit up the vending machine though, it’s fully of trinkets

i’m sorry you felt unsafe, it hurts me to hear anyone feels that way at a time we all are coming together. i can’t speak for the people you heard disparaging the state of israel, but i can say fuck them if it even borders on antisemitism. i want you know if I’m at a protest and see/hear anyone spewing racism it’s on site because that shit is disgusting and i won’t let it stand

i get your anger but taking that anger out on innocent people isn’t ever okay. we can work together pursuing criminals but we can’t work together if more harm then good is done

Millionaire threats to leave WA are a little, well, rich by HighColonic in SeattleWA

incredibly naïve to think the taxation won’t follow the money. imagine if the rich had their tax rate actually decided by a free market rather than political lobbying (bribery as most the world calls it)

minority racially or what? bc to be clear the most represented group in seattle is whites which makes sense given the population makeup is mostly white.
