JO2 - John Day North Fish Ladder

The interrogation site at the John Day Dam north fish ladder consists of eight antennas installed in two weir walls of the fish ladder. Each weir has two orifice antennas and two over flow antennas. The antennas were installed February 2017 without dedicated communication and synchronization lines. Only the upstream weir antennas were active for the first year. During that time PIT tag detections were stored to the transceiver buffers and then submitted to PTAGIS as passive recaptures. The site became fully operational and began automated data submissions of interrogation data on February 14, 2018.

Operational Dates

Year	Start Date	End Date	Notes
2017			Construction and installation of antennas was completed before all necessary communication and wiring was installed. Antennas on one weir wall were run and collected detections to transceiver buffers which were downloaded approximately weekly. These detections were submitted as Passive Recaptures from site JDALD2.
2018			Automated data submissions started Feb 14.

02/16/2018 09:22 AM	The timer tag for antenna 05 was not firing because the delay was set to 0. Delay was adjusted to 60 minutes and the timer tag is now firing on the hour.		dchase
03/01/2018 02:00 PM	Installed output cards to the platform UPS to send the data to SCADA for power failure. We have 2 UPS for the transformers and 2 UPS at the platform with relay cards. Between the 4 different power monitoring locations, we can tell if the UPS or circuit feeding the UPS is the problem or if all 4 are running on battery power, we know the site has a power failure. The cards will also tell us if the UPS needs a battery replacement or is in a faulted state.		Mleonard

05/21/2018 12:18 PM	On 5-19-2018 at ~1500, all eight transceivers began experiencing debilitating noise. The noise lasted until ~0900 5-21-2018, when all eight transceivers were remotely put into standby and then put back into scan. That proper operation was restored by toggling the scan status suggests a firmware problem. It appears the xcvr 03 was the first to go down and then took the others with it. PSMFC is onsite today investigating.		Alan
05/21/2018 01:47 PM	PSMFC was on site today to try and resolve the noise event that happened on 5-19 and was causing the poor efficiencies. They problem appears to have started during one the of the systems re-tuning processes. The synchronization between the systems has been removed and does not appear to have an adverse effects on any system individually. We will monitor this for the next few days and make any adjustments as necessary to maintain the high efficiencies that we are accustom.		dchase
