Also, is the S relay in? What about U or D relays? Usually Dover posted the drawing numbers in the controller with the job number. Any chance you have a drawing number?
Good suggestion...
If your main floor fire sensor is tripping AF relay picks. And AF3 contact holds it in.
Also look at the individual contacts on each (2U, 2D, 2C & AF3) relays. I've had those pin contacts on IBM relays fall threw and make both " NO & NC" contacts.
Do you have an S and/or a F relay? Are they in?
I believe 2LR pulls in from a hall call. Since you disconnected 2SU & 2SD we know it's not a hall call button stuck. If you go from SC(-) to 2LR(+) what do you read on DC volts? 2LR is on the intermediate board...
Just wondering about this part of your post. Is CD relay pulling in?
If not! You should have 24vdc at the following;
PC to 24D
PC to X4 (stop switch)
