[Pumptesting] ATTN: Adam and SH Trustees, from Fire Pump Testers

Current state of fire pump reservoir tank:
NOT auto-filling.

There should still be approximately 6 feet of water in the tank.

 If any sprinklers go off we need to remember to send someone to plug in
the power to the side of the sensor control box to trigger the solenoid to
continue filling the reservoir. However, it does not currently work right
so we’re leaving it unplugged while the tank level is close to the cut off
trigger values for fill/stop.

We (Tara + Ryan + DaveR + Helene) have removed the battery and connected it
to a separate trickle charger (plugged in by the door). In the meantime,
the power from the outlet to the side of the Levcon box is disconnected,
because we weren’t sure that the solenoid could handle the fluctuation
between on and off given how fast the sensor reading is changing. It's much
faster (and wider range) then it should be. Something is wrong with the
battery monitor/charger component on the inside of the box which is getting
11.8 V from the wall outlet but only outputting 10.2 V to the controller
panel. well, see how it all behaves again after the battery is charged all
the way.

I hope that made sense voice to text everything bad apologies.
