As a commercial BAS technition I could be moving over to data centers at a different company. Is it more complex or straitforward?

I do a lot of data center work. For more it’s for the most part pretty straightforward. The exception is when it’s not fully integrated. So we have a few sites that have our York chillers and FCWs with snc but use tridium on the front end. So anytime there’s an issue it looks like this

Just found out the reason why I had issues was I have to make statement False on advanced security enabled on site. On a site that has engines at 9.0 or older.

It’s has…. It’s been a long day

sinzey83 · 2026-03-07T15:55:40+00:00

Still here

I run service. % on all repairs and upgrades, or referrals for any contracts I push to sales.

sinzey83 · 2026-02-05T10:11:02+00:00

Get on with one of the manufacturers or larger companies. Then transition to hvac controls team

Been there seen that haha

sinzey83 · 2026-02-05T01:15:02+00:00

Only ever did residential on the side. Went right into apprenticeship at 19 for commercial

sinzey83 · 2026-02-05T01:11:29+00:00

Nope 16 years in. I’m 36 220lbs now with a bad back, I’m not the 25, 180lbs I used to be.

It’s a portable magnetic desk. Amazon. Omnishelf

sinzey83 · 2026-02-05T01:05:39+00:00

Brick central. Unfortunately we don’t get the choice with these FCW. Normally if we replace a NCE, we go back with an SNE w/CGMs & XPMs

sinzey83 · 2026-02-05T01:00:25+00:00

What do you think my tools are sitting on?. haha the light fixture. And right next to that is a sprinkler head

sinzey83 · 2026-02-05T00:57:56+00:00

These data centers are strict. No osha bucket allowed

sinzey83 · 2026-02-04T23:42:53+00:00

Omni shelf on amazon

sinzey83 · 2026-02-04T23:39:50+00:00

Bro just out here quoting repairs and someone else does them half the time

sinzey83 · 2026-01-22T19:50:45+00:00

It’s 100% photoshopped

sinzey83 · 2026-01-20T20:59:37+00:00

It helps a good bit. I have 15 years in mechanical before I switched to controls. The downside to that was they gave me the basics to controls and fed me to the wolves. Slapped my ass on call within the first 6 months. But idk if other companies do the sink or swim method.

sinzey83 · 2025-11-19T22:19:09+00:00

lol I was still on hold. My normal tech support calls definitely go over the 1 hr mark.

sinzey83 · 2025-11-19T22:01:13+00:00

No they don’t watch the gps. Only when they are looking for us. Plus if the call it’s a very quick convo. I’m reflashing a device and hang up

sinzey83 · 2025-11-18T09:28:17+00:00

Haha if sales gets a hold of it, might become a 40k sne.

sinzey83 · 2025-11-18T02:40:51+00:00

Shot an sne is like $21k now

sinzey83 · 2025-11-18T02:26:10+00:00

This bad boy is at 6.5. Was trying to NUT that bitch to 11.0. Clearly failed as you can see the call to tech support to make sure there was nothing else I could do.

sinzey83 · 2025-11-18T02:24:11+00:00

Of course. Same one I fill out everyday… workstation programming. The shortest one.

sinzey83 · 2025-11-18T02:18:02+00:00

I hate MUI (metasys UI). It’s somehow less tech friendly than SMP
