static and timers

[Afelts]

Sometimes, whenever someone touches the t-max timer to set a bed, they all go blank, beep, and in a few seconds go back to the original setting of whatever was left on the bed.

I think static electricity from the person touching it is causing the problem. Is there anything that can be done? So far I have told them to use a cloth on their finger to touch the buttons and this works as long as you remember the cloth each time.

Yes. Try grounding the T-Max Manager.

On the back of the manager there are four screws. Loosen one screw and wrap a wire around it and tighten the screw back down. Connect the other end of the wire to a grounding point in your building (a screw that holds an outlet plate in is a good place).

At home I have a bad time with static too during this time of year. My pellet stove really dries out the air. I actually could static shock and reset my computer. I ended up having to put in a whole house humidifier to take care of the problem. You may wind up having to put one at the front desk of your salon if the prpblem is to bad.
