keyword=PD called, we request controlled access to reset level meters

The PD called and relayed a message from Cryo that we are overloading the
ESR with our magnet flows. It seems that we are pulling in too much
cryogen to cool our magnets. This is similar to what we had yesterday: a
stuck level meter while the level is at 100%. I discussed this with the
tech-on-call an hour ago, but he suggested to wait until things stabilize
(no significant change in the level has happened since), and has not been
reachable. Since we want to avoid tripping the ESR (it is affecting
other halls) I decide to go in and reset the level meters in both Left
and Right arm, just as we did multiple times yesterday.

I will not touch the flow meter on the Q1R A while I am down. It will
therefore stay negative and prevent us from ramping up the Right arm
until that is fixed.
