FP 1001 intermittent power loss.

Hello all, I have a cooling tower that is controlled by a set of field points. At any given time, all of the field points will lose power. The power failure can lead to a complete cooling tower shut down, or leave it in an operating but non-controllable state. I see that the FP1001 has an operating temp of -40° to 70° C operating range. In the current environment, ambient temp is high. What happens when the temperature range for the FP1001 or any other module is exceeded? I'm focusing on an overheating issue, as I have checked and rechecked all incoming power without finding any issues.

I doubt that all of the fieldpoints would lose power at the same time if it was an overheating issue.  I would concentrate on the power supply issue if that is the only thing they have in common.  If power loss is an issue, then you should look at battery backup means to keep the power up.

  • Z77A-GD65 Intermittent Power Up Issue

    Ever since I've had this board, it's been problomatic getting it to start at times. Most of the time it starts just fine, other times the fans just barely spin and it fails to start. Repeatedly pressing the start button usually gets it going after maybe a dozen rapid pressings (think Morse Code).
    I've tried jumping the pins on the header on the board, no difference. I've tried pressing the power button on the board, no difference.
    Sometimes, however, repeatedly pressing the power button does not get it to start. These times I have to disconnect the power cord and wait for the power button on the board to go out, usually takes 30 seconds or so for the board to totally discharge. Now it will power up right away, I have the BIOS set to power up after a power loss.
    Of course I've tried the usual things like one stick of RAM only in Slot 2, different sticks of RAM, only one GPU, no GPU, check for shorts to the case, properly seated CPU, etc. But as it is an intermittent issue, it'll seem fine for a while then go right back to not starting, then start right up the next time without any issues. It will always start with a CLEAR CMOS, but that is not a very handy method of booting the computer.
    The system is very stable after it is running, which leads me to think the individual components are not faulty. It never has any problem establishing a restart, only a cold boot. The HEX readout is always A0 when it's running, it's never had any problem booting up after it establishes power.

    What is the ME version in bios?
    If you remove the OC does the problem go away?
    I'm at work right now, not sure about the ME version. Can you elaborate what that is?
    OC has no effect, it's been doing this since long before I even attempted to OC anything. It's a fairly random issue. I could, for example, take the OC out and maybe it'd boot issue free for a number of tries, I'd think the issue was resolved. Then, without changing anything, it'll go back to doing it. I had this happen when I read that RAM slot 2 was determined to be the primary slot. I loaded one stick of RAM into slot 2 and got several clean starts. I was convinced I had resolved the issue, only to have it fail on the next attempt.
    One thing, time appears to be an issue. I can play around with it in the evening, make multiple cold boots no problem. Then it won't start up in the morning. Or maybe it will start up in the morning, but not at lunch. Or not in the evening. But if it's just a couple or a few minutes, it'll start. And restart.

  • Seemingly random intermittent packet loss

    Hello! Over the past month or so I've been experiencing intermittent packet loss.My internet will be completely find for anywhere between five minutes and 12 hours, and then suddenly I begin experiencing packet loss (sometimes to the point of total disconnection) for anywhere between 5 seconds and 30 minutes. It is seemingly random because it has happened during any time of the day and during any weather condition. It also does not seem to be related to one hop (if my understanding of pingplotter is correct)Here are a few examples of when the issue is occuring:http://i.imgur.com/cuGayms.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/jjt2K6Y.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/48DFCti.png Things I have tried I noticed that in my modem diagnostics page my upstream power level was pretty high at 54 dbmv.I removed a splitter that was before the modem and it instantly dropped to the lower 40's.I was hoping this would fix the problem, but the packet loss came back.This morning a particularly bad session of packet loss occurred and I decided to check my modem diagnostics again and discovered the upstream power level had jumped up to the upper 40's, lower 50's again, despite the splitter still being removed. I have also gone through the simple steps of power cycling, resetting everything, checking cables are not loose, etc. I figured I would ask on this forum for any ideas on my next step before consulting with comcast as I know that intermittent problems are nearly impossible for a tech to solve unless you're lucky enough to have the issue occur while the tech is present. Thank you for any help you can give!

    In a self troubleshooting effort to try to obtain better connectivity / more wiggle room, check to see if there are there any excess/unneeded coax cable splitters in the line leading to the modem that can be eliminated/re-configured. Any splitters that remain should be high quality and cable rated for 5-1000 MHz, bi-directional, and no gold colored garbage from Radio Shack, Home Depot, Target, etc. Splitters should be swapped with known to be good / new ones to test.
    If there aren't any unneeded splitters that can be eliminated and if your coax wiring setup can't be reconfigured so that there is a single two way splitter connected directly off of the drop from the street/pole with one port feeding the modem and the other port feeding the rest of the house/equipment with additional splits as needed, and you've checked all the wiring and fittings for integrity and tightness and refresh them by taking them apart then check for and clean off any corrosion / oxidation on the center wire and put them back together again, then perhaps it's best to book a tech visit to investigate and correct.

  • Broadband does not auto reconnect after power loss

    I have a D-Link DSL-302G ADSL modem and Netgear AC1900 on an  Eaton Powerware 5110 UPS. When there is power loss or brown out in our neighbourhood , our internet goes off and  does not reconnect automatically. I then have to physically turn off the Netgear Router and turn back on to get the Green LED  Internet light back on.  The modem seems unaffected, but it is bridged so my router controls the connection process. Now this is what has me puzzled - my devices never lose power because of the UPS, and the router connection mode is set to "always on" , and Internet IP address is set to "Get Dynamically from ISP" Is it the local Telstra exchange dropping all connections when swithcing to battery backup, and then disrupting the normal connection process for the Router upon power resume ? Can you confirm what happens, or are there some tests I can do? This is very inconvenient as I run a terminal server, and not in the office all the time to reboot the router.    

    Hi Melior,
    Normally, if there was a loss of power at your premises but not at the exchange then once the power was restored your modem should automatically reconnect (In this instance, a UPS should keep the modem powered up and connected).  If there was a loss of power at the exchange your modem should connect automatically once the exchange is powered back up.  
    So given the information that you have provided, I would suggest that you check your equipment.

  • Intermittent Sound Loss (SFX & Audio)

    Hi gang, I have an odd problem with intermittent sound loss (button SFX + audio) on my brand new ATV2 (HDMI to HDMI on a 2 year old Phillips 42"). The picture is great, but the audio only works about 50% of the time. (?!) I'm totally stumped. I did some troubleshooting. Restart, Reset, Restore. No dice. I swapped the cable and tried different HDMI ports — to no avail. I also spent an hour on the phone with an Apple tech. We did everything again and we turned off Dolby, etc. No dice. He suggested I bring the device into the Apple store, and they swapped it out for me. But I'm having the same problem with the new device — and AGAIN only 50% of the time. It seems totally arbitrary. Very frustrating. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Did you try restarting your TV, the problem may be there.
    (I have a tv that starts to drop audio occasionally, although a restart of the tv will resolve the matter it does return perhaps weeks/months later)

  • MSI Z68A-GD65 G3 Power On after Ac Power loss how to turn it off?

  • RVL200 won't auto-reconnect to Internet after power loss (PPPoE)

    My RVL200 firmware 1.1.7 is configured for PPPoE. The connection to the Internet is via an ATT (SBC) DSL line using a Siemens Slipstream 4100 modem. The 4100 is configured to allow the PPPoE connection to be managed by the router. The RVL200's PPPoE fails to automatically reconnect to the Internet after a power loss (or if I click Disconnect on the RVL200's web page). This is true for both the Connect on Demand and Keep Alive PPPoE alternatives. In either case, I have to go to the router's web screen and manually click "Connect" to force a reconnection. The LAN is populated by Win XP SP2 systems.
    Is there some special configuration needed on the LAN, in the RVL200's routing table, or in the modem to allow automatic reconnection to occur? Obviously it is undersirable to have to give out the RVL200 password to everyone who might need to force a reconnect after a power loss.
    Neither the RVL200 Admin Guide not the Users Guide has any useful information on this issue.

    I have to manually reconnect it. This issue came up when testing what would happen with an RVL200 in a power failure - whether it would automatically reconnect. I don't expect a lot of power failures, but I do want the network to reconnect automatically rather than have to count on someone knowing how to do it and having the apssword.
    Am I correct that it is supposed to automatically re-establish the PPPoE connection?
    What triggers the reconnection?

  • Have to reset WRT54G after a power loss

    Hi,
    I have a WRT54G ver 2 running firmware version 4.21.1.  "Keep Alive" is enabled for the PPoE connection to my provider.
    My two problems:
    1) Anytime I encounter a power loss I have to reset the router and then of course reconfigure it.  In the past, I never had to do this whenever there was a loss of power. 
    2) In a related problem, I cannot use the wireless print server.  As soon as I get it configured and working other PCs on my network lose internet connectivity.  That forces me to reset the the router, which forces me to reconfigure the wireless print server, and the sysle begins again!
    Is it possible the ver of firmware I'm running is the issue or do I have a faulty router?

    Routers seem to be sensitive to electrical surges and noise. This can cause them to loose their settings. You should keep your router plugged into a high quality surge suppressor with EMI/RFI filtering, such as the Belkin SurgeMaster Gold Series.  EMI/RFI filtering is required.  A surge suppressor alone is not enough because surge suppression does not start until the voltage exceeds 330 volts. Alternatively, most UPS devices have both surge suppression and EMI/RFI filtering.
    If this does not prevent your router from "forgetting" its settings, then the router is malfunctioning, and it should be replaced. A router that forgets its settings is not secure.

  • Imac G5 power loss

    Hello, i don't know how many of you still have an iMac G5 out there, but i was wondering if anyone has ever had any problems relating to sudden power loss. Sometimes I will be working on something and it just shuts down. i would like to know if anyone out there might know if some setting could be responsible for this. thanks in advance.

    You could try the following forum, plenty of iMac G% users there I'm sure.

  • IMac (2007) intermittent power issues

    Hi,
    I have a 2007 iMac. I am getting intermittent power issues with it.
    One day it wont power up at all...and might not power up for a number of weeks. And just when I have given up on it, it will power up and work for a wee while without any issues (including being shutdown nightly). It'll work for a while and then it'll stop working and again it may take a couple of weeks before it'll start working again.
    Does anyone have any idea what might be the issue?
    any help/advise greatly appreciated.

    Hi IsMiseAodh - did you ever determine what the cause of intermittent no response to power was?  I have a iMac with a similar problem.  Thanks!

  • Domain.sites" could not be opened. After power loss

  • Strrange problem with Acrobat Reader 9 and power loss

    Hello,
    I have a Lenovo T61P (6457-A26) with Windows XP, and I have found a very strange behaviour with Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.
    Sometimes I open a PDF, and I read one or two pages, and then my laptop has a problem like a power loss (remove of the batter).
    I can read those PDF on other PC/MAC/Linux, ... no problem at all.
    So I'm thinking about an incompatibility with my laptop and Acrobat Reader...
    So for now, I've installed another PDF viewer (FoxIt), and I can open my PDF without fearing this lost of power...
    Did somebody experienced something like that? If yes, are there some solutions?
    Alessandro

    1. It happens with any file i want to open in browser.
    2. The Problem is specific to browser. When I open a document in the Reader application everithing works fine.
    kind regards

  • Intermittent power problem Canon 5D Mark iii

    My Canon 5D Mark iii (2 years old) has an intermittent power problem, as described below. It may simply be a question of cleaning the terminals that the battery connects to. I haven’t tried since I can’t reach them at the bottom of the battery compartment.
    Details as follows:
    this is a recent problem in the last 3 weeks
    the problem occurs with all three Canon batteries that I use
    from time to time when the power is on, the camera suddenly loses all power and displays an “empty” battery image
    sometimes it happens of its own accord while no demand is being placed on the camera
    but more usually it occurs at the moment of focusing (I use back focus on the * button)
    it is often fixed by turning the power off and then on again. This fixes it half the time
    it is always fixed by turning the power off, removing and then re-inserting the battery
    needless to say this is very annoying!
    Since coming back from a trip, while transferring images from the camera to my computer, I noticed that the (almost) full battery started showing “empty”.
    The transfer was completed successfully, and when the camera was disconnected from the computer, the battery showed that it had lots of charge left. Very puzzling!

    It sounds like either the battery terminals aren't getting a solid contact or there's a fault (something loose or grounding out) inside the camera.  But if something were genuinely loose or grounding out inside the camera, then power cycling or even re-inserting batteries would probably not fix it -- which makes me suspect it's still something outside the camera.
    Are any of the batteries new, or are they all about the same age as the camera?
    Batteries only last a few years but it'll depend on how they were used.  In other words if all three were used about the same and enough charge cycles to be at the end of their reliable life... it might be time to replace them.  
    It's difficult for the internal battery terminals to get dirty unless the battery itself had something on the battery iteself when you inserted it.  You can try a bit of denatured alcohol on a cotton swap to reach in and clean the terminals.  Also, inspect the batteries to make sure they're all clean.

  • 8.02 POA crashes w/ntdll.dll fault after power loss

    Hi,
    Running GW 8.0.2 on Windows 2003 server (POA, MTA and GWIA). After power loss on Friday, POA will not stay up for long - crashes with:
    "Faulting application gwpoa.exe, version 8.0.2.10840, faulting module ntdll.dll version 5.2.3790.4455" error.
    MTA and GWIA are not crashing.
    I thought maybe it could be a corrupt message but the only messages in the queues are dated today and not Friday (\PO\wpcsout\ofs\4 - wpcsin queues are empty). I am currently running gwcheck.exe against the message databases but that is going to take a couple hours. Any thoughts? Thanks.
