PCA - Panther Creek Array
Status: Active - Non-OperationalGeneral Operational Period: Year Round
Start Date: 7/27/2017 12:00 AM
The site consists of 6-20ft HDPE antennas, arranged in two strings of 3 antennas located about 150 apart. The antennas are constructed of fusion welded 4 inch HDPE pipe. Each antenna is driven by a Biomark IS1001 reader located in a submersible canister attached to the antenna. The readers are controlled by a Biomark IS1001-MC located in an enclosure on the shore.The antennas are anchored to the streambed with a “through-strut” method using DB-88 earth anchors attached to stainless steel threaded rod. The anchors are driven to a depth of 20-30 inches into the river bed. The IS1001 readers are connected to the MC by a single run of Biomark CAN-Bus cable. The readers are attached in series to the MC. All cables are covered by flexible non-metallic conduit.Power for the system is supplied by a propane Gentherm Thermo Electric Generator (TEG), this power creates a constant 27 volts of DC power supplied to the Biomark electronics enclosure; which houses the Biomark IS1001-Master Controller (MC), air temperature sensor, depth sensor board and remote communications. Due to the remote location of the site, use of a HughesNet satellite communications system is in place. This allows for remote access and communication to the MC and all of the connected components.

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.

| 2/3/2020 9:05:47 AM | General | This site had one interruption of service in 2019. From 7/14 at 00:56 to 7/15 at 16:41 the site lost power due to the TEG going out. The outage lasted about 38 hours. All other 2019 data was loaded. |
| 7/14/2019 4:00:00 PM | SiteDown | The TEG stopped running on 7/14 around 1:00 am PST and was restarted and the system turned back on at around 14:41 PST on 7/15. Total downtime was about 38 hours. |
| 12/15/2017 9:26:00 AM | General | I updated the Master Controller firmware to 1.6.4 and the CBG board to 1.6.3. |
