Every computer stayed on due to UPS power during the switch except for the CoMP PC which is too sensitive for its UPS and switches off at transfer of power, I also shutdown the PSPT Sparc and other equipment before the fuse change and I'll bring those up later after I replace the PSPT UPS batteries. This fuse change is intended to prevent the surge blowout that has been happening to the old type of switch-on timer fuse, and should prevent the UPS run-down and computer shut-downs that we have been having since we had the new power safety equipment installed earlier this year. ___end___ CoMP COMMENT BY DARRYL: Sun Dec 26 18:29:47 GMT 2010 The PC came right up this time on the 1st try, which is unusual for this PC, maybe the new motherboard battery that was recently installed helped in some way. ___end___ Sun Dec 26 18:33:42 GMT 2010 MKIV End Cal Sun Dec 26 18:33:48 GMT 2010 MKIV Start Patrol WEATHER COMMENT: Sun Dec 26 18:49:16 GMT 2010 Clouds moved back in, paused some instruments. ___end___ Sun Dec 26 18:51:50 GMT 2010 MKIV End Patrol CoMP COMMENT BY DARRYL: Sun Dec 26 19:17:24 GMT 2010 Received and stored CoMP HDDs #7, 8, and 10. ___end___ WEATHER COMMENT: Sun Dec 26 20:02:28 GMT 2010 Clouds are thicker, pausing rest of instruments. ___end___ Sun Dec 26 20:03:36 GMT 2010 H-ALPHA End Patrol Sun Dec 26 20:06:39 GMT 2010 CHIP End Patrol Sun Dec 26 20:25:13 GMT 2010 MKIV Start Patrol Sun Dec 26 20:25:29 GMT 2010 H-ALPHA Start Patrol WEATHER COMMENT: Sun Dec 26 20:25:31 GMT 2010 Clouds cleared, starting most instruments. ___end___ Sun Dec 26 20:26:20 GMT 2010 CHIP Start Patrol MKIV COMMENT BY DARRYL: Sun Dec 26 20:29:39 GMT 2010 Doing another cal since the 1st may have been ruined by clouds. ___end___ Sun Dec 26 20:31:21 GMT 2010 MKIV End Patrol Sun Dec 26 20:31:27 GMT 2010 MKIV Start Cal Sun Dec 26 20:31:46 GMT 2010 COMP Start Patrol Sun Dec 26 20:50:08 GMT 2010 MKIV End Cal Sun Dec 26 20:50:13 GMT 2010 MKIV Start Patrol **PSPT PROBLEM COMMENT BY DARRYL**: Sun Dec 26 21:36:47 GMT 2010 I replaced the UPS batteries but the UPS doesn't turn on at all, fuse is OK, power to UPS cord is OK.
