Amber LED on the lift control box went off. We tried to reset tne control bow via its switch, reset with on/off knife-blade switch. When opened the lift control box inside the plug lab, we saw flickering and chattering relays. Called Dan, French, didn't found, called Wendell. He recommended to check the circuit breakers, close to the door box. We checked and reseted breaker 26. The relays got normal. The amber light came on to the lift control box. The lift still does not work in the auto mode, but can be operated from inside the lab with the manual up/down buttons. French came to the site to this time, and we decided to operate it manually until the end of the night.
