I would hope that having them
inside for 24 hours before testing would eliminate the temperature
issue.I believe that this is
indicative of the problem that is popping up in many locations and not
related to temperature.

Thanks for
the input. Do you think this could be a problem with 24 units out of 149
that I had fail today? The units were stored in an unheated warehouse, but
were inside for 24 hrs before testing. All would not take or reject
ballots.
Thanks
Don

Hi Don
Living in a cold climate makes one conscious of
condensation. That poor frozen little Accu-Vote brought from 20F to
probably 70+F would create all kinds of condensation on the circuit
boards. That's why they put little packages of silica gel into some
electronic devices for shipping and storage. Covered with moisture the
circuit boards would either short out or cause erratic behavior. A
cold Accu-Vote should be warmed up for 2 hours before being turned on.
Twenty degrees F would not do good things for the life of the
battery.
It sounds like the read head is suspect. I
bet if you swapped the read head (for a proven one) it would work like a
charm.
My two cents
worth
Greg
