Hey Scott,

That problem you are having with the door board with a main line reset or power failure is pretty easy to fix. I would guess that you or someone else has installed a Pana40 or an Fcu 47 as an upgrade. When the power is lost on a lot of older DMC'S the scanners can cause some 'electronic chatter' disrupting the boot sequence of the door board. A simple fix is installing an 'on delay' timer to prevent the scanner from turning on with the door board all at once. Usually about a two second delay is suffiecnt. You want the door board to finish booting before your scanner turns on. Weird problem I know but I would bet money this is the issue.

very strange, i was at the job to service today, this time i put the car on inspection at the top floor, anticipating having to press the door reset button after shutting the unit down to service. to my surprise, when i turned on the power and went to inspect car down, i decided to just turn on normal, and the doors operated fine. so i checked again, shut off power with out putting on inspect and sure enough had to press reset button to get doors to work. any way did not have time to deal with it today, it is only a 2 stop, and does not get used that much so maybe next month i will delve into the problem a little further. thanks for the info, i will look into it.
