FRM 100 4 2256 OV weather: cloudy, dry. 2330 PT air handler alarm going off, plenum temperature 21087 is high. Maser outer oven heater voltage is low. Called out site tech (Lonnie). 0000 Date is 2007AUG17/229. 0024-0026 *OV AZ#1 armature over current error. Put in ACU 100 2 standby to clear. 0145 PT back-up contempo is on now. Temperatures are cooler. Maser is looking better. 0305 %PT lost communications with the MK5 for about 30 seconds. 0326-0327 *OV had AZ #1 armature over current error ACU 100 1 again. Put in standby to clear. 0337-0339 *PT MK5 seemed to offline itself, got "problem OTHER 100 2 decoding module NRAO-210" message. I tried onlining it again, which didn't appear to help, but a short while later it came back and began recording on NRAO-210 again. Seems to be having no problems now. 0344-0351 *KP azimuth motor current sum high. Looks like ACU 100 7 it's oscillating.
