Dampp-Chaser grumblings...

I have only done two installations with the new LED panel. After the
first one, my comments echo Rob Kiddell's. I happened to get one of the
very first units, which were incompatible with the Smart Heater Bar. So
I only discovered this after I had installed the whole thing. Then I had
to undo a lot of stuff to get the 'stat out to return to Dampp-Chaser.
The second one was less of a problem. For future reference, you might
want to route the LED panel from the 'stat UNDER beams, instead of OVER
beams, if there is a clearance problem. There are clearly a few changes
we will have to make in installation procedures with all this stuff
irrevocably attached to the 'stat. I am willing to live with that and
give the new system a chance. The benefits may outweigh the problems.

My condolences, Rob, for your aggravating experience. But we piano
technicians need these patience testers periodically to keep us on the
line, que no?
