I did get in touch with the people at Bertonee and discussed all
possibilities with them. Resetting is definately very likely, unfortunately
this installation is on a huge globe of the earth that hangs inside a new
theater there. The transformers are inside so not easy to get to. Beleive
me , I'm not the designer behind this project. I'm concerned that they
could possibly be overheating and shutting down? They are within a 3'
diameter plastic sphere. There are three total transformers. No real
ventilation except the holes where the gto hooks to the units.
Also, I think if there is any voltage irregularity that this could shut
them down. I gave instructions to put them on converters for their 220. I'm
sure they did this but just wonder if it can fluctuate any? Ever had this
happen? I'm fearing a trip to Portugal may be in my future.
