2. The sensors were, in my experience, notoriously unreliable. They were nearly impossible to calibrate (due partly to #1) and would sometimes report wildly inaccurate values due to interference.
3. The physical design of the PDU was cumbersome. Each box had to be wired in a very tight space with very tight tolerances on wire length, leading to many a scraped and cut finger.
3. The physical design of the PDU was cumbersome. Each box had to be wired in a very tight space with very tight tolerances on wire length, leading to many a scraped and cut finger. Maintenance was also a hassle for this reason.
