| 9/9/2021 8:00:00 AM | General |
Installed M5 mini PC's into HSIP. Added surge arresters, fuses and 'oring diodes'. Configured and tested M5. Verified operation and remote access. Performed site inventory. |
| 7/14/2021 7:00:00 AM | General |
Disabled alerting from transceivers 06 and 08. They appear to be dead. Tried stopping and starting services on M4. No communications to transceivers 06 and 08. This will need to be addressed before start of next season. |
| 4/29/2021 9:31:37 AM | General | STE upgrade complete. Pulled in 1 additional circuit to STE for redundancy. Labeled all fiber optic jumpers with the correct antenna ID. Found transceiver 02 with an ID of 05, not sure for how long this has been like this or what this does to the individual coil detection efficiencies. Met with Ziply fiber for replacement of the DSL modem, reconfigured the Sonicwall and VPN connection. Inventoried all equipment on-site compared to the equipment list provided. |
| 4/27/2021 3:00:00 PM | SiteDown | Final fish detections were on 4/22/21 and the pond was drained. the antennas were removed from the pond, cleaned and stored away on 4/27. |
| 4/7/2021 8:03:02 AM | General | A power outage occurred 4-6-2021 from ~0830 to ~1147. The DCP remained on UPS power until 1133. The UPS power for the xcvrs ran out at ~0930. No data exist to fill the resulting gap. |
| 4/7/2021 7:33:16 AM | TASS | These alarms were generated by a power outage from Idaho power. It last from 10-14:00 hrs on 4-6-2021. |
| 4/5/2021 11:00:00 AM | General | O&M site visit on 4/5/21. All readers working properly. Diagnostics look good and noise levels were all less than 7%. Test tags read at 100% on all antennas and all antennas read stick tags. |
| 3/29/2021 12:00:00 PM | General | O&M visit on 3/29/21. I checked diagnostics and tune on all readers. Test tag reads were 100% on all antennas. Everything looked good. |
| 3/15/2021 8:14:00 AM | General | Volitional fish release began on 3/15. Site visit the same day. I swapped out the spare transceiver 02 with the original one that was repaired in Kennewick. I tuned and tested all transceivers and tested comms with the data computers. Fish were actively leaving the pond and being detected while I was on site. |
| 3/2/2021 7:57:25 AM | TASS | Noted |
| 3/2/2021 7:57:25 AM | TASS | Noted |
| 3/2/2021 7:57:18 AM | TASS | Noted. The transceiver has been replaced. |
| 2/26/2021 7:24:18 AM | TASS | Noted. |
| 2/24/2021 11:00:00 AM | SiteUp | Antenna arrays were installed on 2/24/21. All readers turned on and tuned, and lithium batteries changed. Each antenna was tested with test tags. No problems to report. The site is up for 2021. Volitional release is set to begin on March 15. |
| 4/24/2020 11:03:27 AM | SiteDown | The final fish were pushed out of the pond. The readers were shut off and the antennas were removed from the pond. The site is shut down for the remainder of 2020. |
| 4/13/2020 11:00:00 AM | General | O&M visit on 4/13. Reader 04 test tag efficiency was in 95-99% range. I tweaked it up to 100% All other readers were at 100%. All readers read stick tags. Everything looks good. At the time I left, there were about 30,000 detections. |
| 4/7/2020 2:42:00 PM | General | O&M visit on Tuesday, 4/7/20. Test tag efficiency was 100% on all antennas. Each reader read stick tags. Everything looked good. |
| 3/31/2020 2:42:00 PM | General | O&M visit on Tuesday 3/31. All readers read test tag efficiency at 100% and read test tags. Everything checked out okay. |
| 3/23/2020 3:27:02 PM | General | A dead fish with a tag on it got stuck on antenna 04 on 3/18. It was removed on 3/23. Timer tags were not able to be read during this time and regular tag reads were probably also adversely affected. After the dead fish was removed noise dropped from mid 60% to about 5%. Test tag efficiency was 100% Test tag efficiency on all other antennas was 100% Diagnostics looked good on all antennas. |
| 3/16/2020 1:00:00 PM | General | O&M visit for volitional release day. All readers checked out okay. !00% reads on test tag diagnostic for each antenna. When I left about 1300 PST the screens for the fish had not yet been removed. |
| 2/20/2020 7:12:34 AM | TASS | Clearing TASS for season start. |
| 2/19/2020 12:00:00 PM | SiteUp | Antenna arrays were installed on 2/19/20. All readers turned on and tuned, and lithium batteries changed. No problems to report. The site is up for 2020. Volitional release is set to begin on March 16. |

| 4/29/2019 7:43:46 AM | General | Stopped M4 services on both PCs. |
| 4/26/2019 11:27:40 AM | SiteDown | The remaining fish were forced from the pond yesterday afternoon. I uninstalled the antennas, cleaned them and stored them away for the year. The transceivers were turned off. Site is down until next year. |
