About a decade ago I had to fly across the country to peel a piece of tape off a sensor. At least I got crab cakes
I gotta ask... Why couldn't someone local do it?
I'm not op, it I imagine it went something like this:
"We've tried everything and nothing works, you gotta come down here"
"...and you followed the instructions in the run book to the letter"?
"yes. every instruction"
runbook line 1 page 1: remove the tape from the sensor before installation.
I've definitely dealt with that exact scenario before, but I only had to walk across the building that time.
This was an interesting case because somebody decided they wanted to hide the sensors from a third-party tester, and failed to inform anyone, let alone consider the fact that those sensors were basically the defining characteristic of the product and nothing would work right if they were obscured.
