The systems we work on are becoming more sophisticated.

Most of Local 9's HVAC and refrigeration technician's work is spent repairing and maintaining systems. The systems we work on can be quite large, such as the 600,000-ton centrifugal system that keeps Newark-Liberty International Airport at a comfortable temperature. We also install and maintain the special climate systems for computer rooms, where a constant cool temperature is necessary to keep sophisticated machines running smoothly. HVAC and refrigeration service technicians repair and maintain the refrigeration systems in supermarkets, restaurants and convenience stores, as well as the industrial heating ventilation and air conditioning systems in office buildings, manufacturing facilities and any other large structure.

The Local 9 professionals who service these large refrigeration and climate control systems are HVAC and refrigeration technicians who are specialized members of the pipefitters trade. Not only is it essential that this equipment keep working, but the high cost of energy requires that they operate as efficiently as possible. I am able to perform a test cut from the machine but not from the production manager.Sophisticated refrigeration and climate control systems require technologically skilled technicians.Ĭommercial and industrial climate control systems - such as freezers and coolers in a supermarket or the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) in a large office building - are technologically advanced machines that require constant calibration and maintenance.

I am not getting any time out errors, the computer does not have Bluetooth, I have allowed connection to local production manager using TCP/IP (suggestion from SignWarehouse site - even though I have no idea what that means), and stopped the loading of all the startup items when turning on the computer. I have tried 3 different cords and all the USB ports on both laptops.

There are absolutely no errors in production manager with no cutting at all. I have deleted the program and reinstalled, removed the license on one computer and installed the software and drivers on a different laptop running Windows 7 (and downloaded that specific driver) with the same exact result. When I send a test to the production manager, the production manager shows the file as being cut (preparing, cutting finishing), but nothing is happening with the cutter. I have downloaded the LXi apprentice software and production manager and installed the driver for the cutter. I have the Vinyl Express R Series II plotter/cutter.
