We have around 30 PC4500,s. We are having issues with HID readers going bad. I have found that all lifts have 26 volts going to the frame. Not sure if this is the cause or not, I just don't think it's right. I did discover that the radios we installed had to be isolated from the frame. When doing this my voltage dropped to 14 - 18 volts, witch is acceptable by Crown. But I have some lifts it did not change. Talked to Crown support and they told me to start disconnecting components until I find the issue. I have disconnected about everything and still have issue. Has anyone had this issue? I can understand if this was only one lift with the issue but I have 20+ with this issue. I can say the lifts work fine, no error codes. I'm just trying to explain why we have so many HID readers going bad.

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
