OKS - Shingle Creek
Status: Active - OperationalGeneral Operational Period: Year Round
Start Date: 9/9/2016 12:00 AM
One 15-foot HDPE pipe antenna is installed in Shingle Creek, a tributary to the Okanagan River in Canada, immediately adjacent to the Okanagan Nation Alliance (ONA) fish Hatchery. The antenna is connected to an IS1001 and controlled by a Biomark Master Controller. The MC is housed in an enclosure mounted outside the hatchery. The site is approximately 1km from the creek mouth and uses AC power. The site was originally installed with four antennas and a QuBE controller, but was updated to current configuration in April 2019.

Configuration
Configuration metadata includes details about the equipment used at the site to detect and record PIT tags. A new configuration sequence record is created when equipment is added or removed from the site and the period of time it was active. A configuration sequence without an End Date is currently active.

Event Log Summary
| Event Date | Event Type | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| 8/16/2023 12:00:00 AM | SiteUp |
Site moved downstream, approximately 160m upstream of confluence of Okanagan River. Site Changes: two arrays, each with a 15' and 10' antenna. Job box is located within Affordable Storage Centre gated compound. Site is running on AC power, using an Acopian AC to DC power supply. |
| 5/5/2023 12:00:00 AM | SiteUp |
Site now running on AC power after electrician service. Very high noise (FDX Signal Level approximately 80%). Unlikely to detect PIT tagged salmonids at this noise level. Will assess noise issues when CCT visits. Currently scoping new locations to move site downstream on Shingle Creek. |
| 4/5/2023 12:00:00 AM | SiteUp |
Site currently operating on batteries until the new acopian is installed by a certified electrician as per Hatchery Manager (power source) request. |
| 1/1/2023 9:00:00 AM | SiteDown |
Site Down due to break-in of enclosure - acopian was ripped out dropped in the snow where it was left for days. The acopian was re-installed, only to find out it was fried, which caused issues at the power source. |
| 10/5/2022 12:00:00 AM | SiteUp |
Site Running - Replaced node and canbus cable High noise (FDX Signal Level: 60-80%)
|
| 8/30/2022 2:00:00 PM | SiteDown |
Installed new Acopian. Site still down due to issue with Canbus cable or Node.
|
| 6/29/2022 12:00:00 AM | SiteDown |
MC is off but power is still live - Acopian Failure. Will order a new Acopian. Site down until then. |
| 6/8/2022 10:00:00 AM | SiteDown |
Site down. Data download on June 14th shows MC Reset on June 8, 2022. Attempted resetting MC and tuning nodes - did not rectify issue. To be inspected and fixed. |
| 5/31/2021 3:29:39 PM | General | Site in Operation; Downloaded Pit Data |
| 9/6/2019 11:00:00 AM | General | Swapped out antenna for a new antenna. Noise level dropped from over 80% to 50-55%. |
| 7/9/2019 11:27:35 AM | SiteUp | 87% FDBX noise! |
| 4/11/2019 8:30:00 AM | General | Removed old nodes and antennas (two 10 footers from the stream). Installed new node, Master Controller, 15-foot antenna spanning the entire creek. Tested and tuned nodes, discovered high noise (90%), site not yet powered up until we solve the power/noise issue. |
| 6/8/2018 3:45:00 PM | General | 1 Antenna of 2 operational. Approximately 80% of width is being sampled. System sustained damage in spring freshet. |
