E-Beam #2 Heater is down - Update
I am fairly certain the heater controller has failed. I have spoken with the vendor and they are looking into it, but we will most likely have to send the unit in. I will push to have a replacement controller sent instead, but since this is a warranty repair they will probably want to eval it in-house. I would plan for it to be down for at least a couple of weeks. I'll send out an update once I have more info.

Lab Access Changes: Symmetry App
Card/Iris scanner access is still currently enabled. However we will be moving to a smartphone-based access system. IMPORTANT: check your email to setup the new smartphone access system, so you will be ready when we switch to the new system. Look for an email titled "Invitation to Access Symmetry App".
