EVENT LOG FOR SITE BO1 Most recent activity to be listed first. First line of each entry lists date, time and who is reporting. Subsequent lines of each entry aligned under Time column. Do not use tabs, only spaces. Date Time Who What -------- ----- -------- ----------------------------------------------- 12/30/2004 09:04 darren@r 0A:LowExcCurrent: It appears that the alarm threshold is at the same potential as the current. I will PCA into the site and change the threshold level to avoid this alarm in the future. PSMFC will investigate the cause for the drop in current on the next site visit. 12/29/2004 08:23 darren@r 0A:LowExcCurrent,1C:LowExcCurrent: The water has been reduced to limited flow so that trash can be cleaned from the picketed leads. It will return to normal after this has been accomplished. There is over abundance of trash due to fluctuating forebay water levels. 12/27/2004 08:51 Darren I was informed today (12-27-04) by Tammy Mackey that the ladder is at reduced flow because the trash racks are plugged and need to be cleaned. The ladder will return to normal flow later today. 12/27/2004 08:46 troy@ruf 0A:LowExcCurrent,11:TestTagFailure,18:LowExcCurrent: PSMFC is investigating the exact cause of the excessive noise levels that are causing these alarms. The noise levels seem to elevate around 9pm and subside by 6pm. This ladder is not scheduled to be de-watered this year but perhaps construction is going on near by. More later. 12/24/2004 13:42 scottl Raw data files indicate that most or all of the transceivers were in an excessive noise level condition from midnight 12/24 until ~4016 hrs for unknown reasons. All noise levels appear to be back at acceptable levels. 12/23/2004 08:08 alan@ree 07:TestTagFailure,0E:LowExcCurrent,0E:Overrun: These alarms were generated by PTAGIS Field Operations personel during a site visit. 12/22/2004 14:17 Troy A GMC was performed 12/22/04. The VTT on transciever 07 was turned back on. Coil 02 was found to be out of tune. Re-adjusted the tune and consequently had to lower the Low Current Alarm from 3500mA to 2900mA. The analog board on 0E was found to be bad. It was replaced with a board that was in a transciever we were using for testing noise at power house 2. No other problems were found. 12/22/2004 08:11 darren@r 07:TestTagFailure: Alarm will be addressed today during site GMC. 12/21/2004 08:09 alan@ruf 07:TestTagFailure: This test tag will be addressed on the next site visit. 12/20/2004 07:58 darren@r 07:TestTagFailure: This test tag will be addressed on the next site visit. 12/18/2004 15:52 dlwarf@r 07:TestTagFailure: Will be corrected on the next site visit. 12/17/2004 08:14 alan@ruf 02:LowExcCurrent,07:TestTagFailure,0E:Overrun,0E:TestTagFailure: Transceiver 02 appears to have drifted out of tune. It will be addressed along with transceivers 07 and 0E next week. 12/16/2004 09:37 Troy Coil 07's TT appears to be off. It will be addressed next week. Coil OE went into an overrun condition at 20:04:11 and has been periodically going in and out of that condition. Excessive noise is keeping this TT from firing. The cause of the excessive noise and consequent overrun condition will also be addressed next week. 12/16/2004 08:21 troy@ree 07:TestTagFailure,0A:TestTagFailure,0B:TestTagFailure,0C:TestTagFailure,0D :TestTagFailure,0E:Overrun,0E:TestTagFailure,0F:TestTagFailure,10:TestTagF ailure,11:Overrun,11:TestTagFailure,12:TestTagFailure,13:TestTagFailure,14 :TestTagFailure,15:TestTagFailure,16:TestTagFailure,17:TestTagFailure,18:T estTagFailure,19:TestTagFailure,1A:LowExcCurrent,1A:TestTagFailure,1B:Test TagFailure,1C:TestTagFailure,1D:TestTagFailure,1E:TestTagFailure,1F:TestTa gFailure,20:TestTagFailure: These alarms were caused by PTOC personnel while tuning after an analog board swap of both branches. B branches boards are now at the Kennewick office and will be sent to DA to have NPO Caps put in. 12/15/2004 08:36 darren@r 02:LowExcCurrent,06:LowExcCurrent,08:LowExcCurrent,0C:TestTagFailure,10:Lo wExcCurrent,12:LowExcCurrent,14:LowExcCurrent,15:LowExcCurrent,16:LowExcCu rrent,1A:LowExcCurrent,1B:LowExcCurrent,1B:TestTagFailure,1C:LowExcCurrent ,1D:LowExcCurrent,1E:BadExcFreq,1E:BadOscFreq,1E:LowExcCurrent,1F:LowExcCu rrent,20:LowExcCurrent: Alarms were generated by PSMFC personnel during a swap of analog boards in both branches.

PSMFC will try to optimize the system on the next site visit. 10/23/2004 09:25 darren@r 15:TestTagFailure: This detection system has been erratic all year. PSMFC believes the problem to be below the water line. We will address this antenna if the ladder is de-watered this year. Otherwise we will continue to adjust the electronics to make the best posible detection efficiencies possible. 10/22/2004 07:58 darren@r 15:TestTagFailure: This alarm has been acknowledged, and the problem has been determined to be below the water line. PSMFC is doing everything we can to keep the detection system running at it's best efficiencies. 10/20/2004 08:35 darren@r 15:TestTagFailure: This detection system has had noise problems all year. The problem appears to be below the water line and will be dealt withat the earliest opportunity. 10/13/2004 08:38 alan@ree 15:TestTagFailure: This coil has known noise problems however the exact cause has yet to be determined. It is suspected that the problem is below the water line. The timer tag is sometimes missed due to high noise. 10/11/2004 08:42 alan@ree 15:TestTagFailure: This coil has known noise problems however the exact cause has yet to be determined. It is suspected that the problem is below the water line. The timer tag is sometimes missed due to high noise. 10/06/2004 08:13 alan@ruf 15:TestTagFailure: This coil has known noise problems however the exact cause has yet to be determined. It is suspected that the problem is below the water line. The timer tag is sometimes missed due to high noise. 10/04/2004 08:23 Scott_Li Noticed that the site had not loaded since midnight. PCA'd onto primary computer and pushed files to PTAGIS. Big brother indicates that some sort of failure occurred between 3,4 and 7 am this morning. Lights are green at this point. 10/02/2004 08:53 troy@ree 15:TestTagFailure: This coil has known noise problems however the exact cause has yet to be determined. It is suspected that the problem is below the water line. The timer tag is sometimes missed due to high noise. This coil is still reading fish. 09/28/2004 11:14 Alan_Bro A GMC was performed 9/28/2004. All transceivers were tuned, no problems found. 09/25/2004 09:20 alan@ree 15:TestTagFailure: PSMFC will address this antenna/detection system if and when the ladder is de-watered. The problems with this system have been well documented through the event log entries. Although the system is degraded it is still detecting PITtag's. 09/23/2004 08:17 darren@r 15:TestTagFailure: PSMFC will address this antenna/detection system if and when the ladder is de-watered. The problems with this system have been well documented through the event log entries. Although the system is degraded it is still detecting PITtag's. 09/17/2004 20:10 darren@r 15:TestTagFailure: This transceiver/antenna system has been a problem throughout the year. PSMFC will address this system when it is serviceable below the water line. 09/15/2004 08:43 alan@ruf 15:TestTagFailure: This antenna has issues below the water line creating high noise problems. 09/11/2004 09:45 dlwarf@r 15:TestTagFailure: Known problem. 09/08/2004 08:11 darren@r 15:TestTagFailure: PSMFC is aware of the condition of this detection system. We have been checking the system on each site visit. The problem appears to be below the water line. We will continue maintenance until the system can be worked on below the water line. 09/04/2004 10:10 alan@ruf 15:TestTagFailure: This antenna has a problem below the water line creating noise problems. Although sporadic in efficiency, it is currently reading PIT Tags. 09/03/2004 08:15 darren@r 04:BadOscFreq,15:TestTagFailure: These alarms have been checked and validated throughout the year. We will be investigating these two transceivers this season. The ladder is not scheduled to be de-watered this winter so we will be doing work above the water line. 09/01/2004 12:45 Alan_Bro I was referring to antenna 15 in my last pitevent. 09/01/2004 12:00 Alan A site GMC was performed 9/1/2004. All transceivers were checked for tuning and noise. The noise on antenna is very high (50-99%). this antenna has a possible water problem that cannot be addressed from above the water line. It is tuned for optimal reading efficiencies and the lowest noise. PSMFC will address this antenna when the ladder is de-watered and we can get below the water line. 08/31/2004 08:24 alan@ruf 15:TestTagFailure: This antenna is in a high noise state. It has a problem that is most likely below the waterline. PTAGIS Field Operations will investigate further when the ladder is de-watered. 08/30/2004 08:12 darren@r 04:BadExcFreq,12:TestTagFailure: The test tag failure was due to a PITtag that was in the feild during the timer tag firing process. The alarm on antenna 04 has been checked by PSMFC and we have not found any substatial problems with the transceiver that is associated with the antenna. The problem may be below the water line. 08/25/2004 08:18 darren@r 04:BadExcFreq: This transceivers has been checked thoroughly and no problems with the transceiver have been detected. The cause for the alarm may be beneath the water line. PSMFC has been informed that this ladder will not be de-watered this year. The detection efficienies have not been diminished and the exciter reports do not indicate any failures. We will continue to monitor this system and if the detection efficiencies drop to a unacceptable level we will take the appropriate action. 08/23/2004 09:02 darren@r 15:LowExcCurrent: This alarm was generated by PSMFC personnel while performing a site GMC. 08/20/2004 14:20 Darren A site GMC was performed today (8-20-04). All transceivers were checked for tuning and noise. The noise alarm level was adjusted on antenna 15 to 99%. this antenna has a possible water problem that cannot be addressed from above the water line. It is tuned for optimal reading efficiencies and the lowest noise. PSMFC will address this antenna when the ladder is de-watered and we can get below the water line. 08/19/2004 08:10 darren@r 04:BadExcFreq: This is an ongoing alarm that has no real frequency. It only happens once or twice in a 24 hr. period. PSMFC has checked the transceiver and the outlying area but we have not discovered any substantial cause. We will continue to evaluate the area. It could be broken conduit or something in the ladder. This ladder will not be de- watered this winter so we will check what is above the water line. 08/16/2004 08:34 darren@r 04:BadExcFreq,15:TestTagFailure: Both of these transceivers will be addressed tomorrow during on-site work on the High-Q antenna. 08/11/2004 08:46 Scott_Li The recent entry with regards to the timertag repair for antenna 01 was not at bo3 but rather bo1.,. 08/10/2004 08:48 alan@ree 04:BadExcFreq: This alarm will be checked on the next site visit. 08/10/2004 08:46 alan@ree 15:TestTagFailure: This antenna is in a high noise state. PTAGIS Field Operations will continue to monitor. 08/08/2004 08:43 darren@r 04:BadExcFreq,15:TestTagFailure: 04:BadExcFreq,15:TestTagFailure: The alarm on antenna 04 has been ongoing but with no consistency. PSMFC personnel has been checking the transceiver for the past couple of weeks. We are unable to see anything with the transceiver that woiuld indicate a problem. The antenna or cabling could have some problems. PSMFC will check the conduit and cabling on the next site visit. The alarm on antenna 15 is known by PSMFC, this antenna is possibly leaking. PSMFC is aware of the problem but the ladder will not be de-watered this year so we will have to make the detection system work to the best of it's ability. 08/08/2004 08:42 darren@r 04:BadExcFreq,15:TestTagFailure: The alarm on antenna 04 has been ongoing but with no consistency. PSMFC personnel has been checking the transceiver for the past couple of weeks. We are unable to see anything with the transceiver that woiuld indicate a problem. The antenna or cabling could have some problems. PSMFC will check the conduit and cabling on the next site visit. The alarm on antenna 15 is known by PSMFC, this antenna is possibly leaking. PSMFC is aware of the problem but the ladder will not be de-watered this year so we will have to make the detection system work to the best of it's ability. 08/05/2004 09:38 darren@r 04:BadExcFreq: This transceiver will be addressed on the next site visit. The alarm has been re-occurring almost daily but with no substantial quantity. We will try to verify the cause of the alarm. It may be an external interference. 08/04/2004 07:55 darren@r 04:BadOscFreq: I tried to clear this alarm from the status report, but it appears that it came back when the timer tag fired. PSMFC will check this transceiver on the next site visit. It is detecting PITtag's with high efficiency and the exciter report does not indicate any malfunctions. 08/03/2004 08:37 darren@r 04:BadExcFreq: The alarm is being generated because the transceiver needs to be put into "standby" and then "read" mode. This will clear the alarm on the transceiver so that when the staus report is displayed the alarm will not be displayed. I will PCA into the site and take care of this alarm. 08/02/2004 09:18 troy@ree 04:BadExcFreq: Ptagis personnel will check this out today. 07/30/2004 16:18 troy@ree 04:BadExcFreq,04:BadOscFreq: Will monitor for future occurences 07/30/2004 16:11 troy@ree 15:TestTagFailure: Unsure as to the cause of this test tag failure. Will monitor for future failures 07/28/2004 16:59 Darren The site regained power at 16:55 today (7-28-04). The main leg that feeds power to the 480 main for the PITtag room. The power was switch from the powerhouse last evening at about 19:00 and that leg did not get power. The drawings did not show the PITtag room being fed from that transformer. There will be a file gap that is unretrievable. 07/28/2004 16:21 Alan_Bro Scott reports that power to the pittag room was switched to a different source by the control room. The project electrician suspects a blown fuse in the main electrical vault. COE personnel are working on the problem with no estimated time of completion. More information forthcoming as it becomes available. Alan Brower Engineering Technician Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission alan_brower@psmfc.org 509-735-2773 x4 07/28/2004 08:52 darren@r 04:BadExcFreq,15:LowExcCurrent,16:LowExcCurrent: All these alarms were generated by PSMFC personnel while performing a site GMC. PSMFC is aware that there is potential problems with antenna 15, there have been attempts to try and isolate the failure and all indications are pointing to the antenna. This ladder is not schedule to be de-watered this coming winter so we will have to make the system work the best that is possible. 07/28/2004 08:27 Alan_Bro Darren and Scott will be onsite today to investigate why we haven't seen files since 18:00 yesterday. Attempts to PCA into the site have been unsuccessful. 07/26/2004 08:19 alan@ruf 04:BadExcFreq: This alarm will be investigated on the next site visit. This antenna/transceiver is reading pittags and timer tags with high efficiency. 07/24/2004 08:53 alan@ruf 15:TestTagFailure: 15:TestTagFailure: Transceiver has returned to its high-noise state. PTAGIS Kennewick will be on site next week, and will investigate further. 07/24/2004 08:53 alan@ruf 15:TestTagFailure: Transceiver has returned to its high-noise state. PTAGIS Kennewick will be on site next week, and will investigate further. 07/23/2004 08:38 alan@ruf 04:BadExcFreq: This alarm will be investigated on the next site visit. This antenna/transceiver is reading pittags and timer tags with high efficiency. 07/22/2004 07:59 darren@r 04:BadExcFreq: This transceiver will be addressed on the next site visit. It has had this alarm at least once per day for about a week. The transceiver is detecting PITtag's with high efficiencies and the exciter report does not indicate any problems. 07/21/2004 08:16 darren@r 04:BadExcFreq: The exciter frequency may have been shifted and caused the one "badExcFreq" alarm. PSMFC will check this transceiver on the next site visit. 07/20/2004 08:04 darren@r 1C:Overrun: Alarm will be addressed on the next site visit. I checked the exciter report and it does indicate a demise in transceiver detectability. 07/19/2004 08:14 darren@r 04:BadExcFreq: There was direct cause for this alarm. The exciter report does not indicate that the transceiver is or has been failing. We will monitor for future alarms. 07/19/2004 08:13 alan@ree 04:BadExcFreq: No apparent reason for this alarm. The coil appears to be in tune and is reading pittags and timer tags. PTAGIS Kennewick will continue to monitor. 07/16/2004 07:56 darren@r 04:BadExcFreq: No direct cause for alarm. PSMFC will check this transceiver on the next visit. 07/15/2004 11:59 Alan A GMC was performed 7/15/2004. All transceivers were tuned, no problems found. 07/12/2004 08:10 darren@r 04:BadOscFreq: There was no direct cause for this alarm. PSMFC will be on site this week and will check this transceiver for possible failures. 07/01/2004 12:38 Alan A GMC was performed 6/16/2004. All transceivers were tuned, no problems found. 06/26/2004 08:09 darren@r 15:LowExcCurrent,16:LowExcCurrent,1E:LowExcCurrent: Alarms were generated by PSMFC personnel while performing a site GMC. 06/25/2004 08:12 troy@ruf 1C:Overrun: This alarm will be addressed during a site GMC today 06/24/2004 08:11 darren@r 0E:LowExcCurrent: The current is equal to the current alarm. I will PCA into the site and adjust the alarm level to minimize the file size. I will be on site tomorrow for a GMC and will check this transceiver for the cause of the drop. 06/22/2004 08:45 alan@ruf 0E:LowExcCurrent: The current alarm is at 4.2A and the exciter is currently putting out 4.1A. PTAGIS Kennewick will be onsite this week and will address this. 06/21/2004 08:07 alan@ruf 1C:Overrun: This coil was experiencing noise during the time of this alarm. This is the coil identified with a bad cable and/or antenna. It is reading pittags and timer tags. PTAGIS Kennewick will continue to monitor. 06/17/2004 08:25 darren@r 1B:LowExcCurrent,1B:Overrun,1C:LowExcCurrent: Alarm was generated by PSMFC personnel while performing a site GMC. 06/16/2004 12:03 Alan A GMC was performed 6/16/2004. All transceivers were tuned. It appears as though antenna 1C and/or it's cable has gone gunnywhoppers. On transceiver 1C's LCD display the signal level spans 12% to 100%, averaging about 50%. I connected that antenna to transceiver 1B with similar results. I connected antenna 1B to transceiver 1C (to verify that transceiver 1C was functioning properly) and it tuned right in. I reconnected the antennas to their respective transceivers and retuned them as best I could. For what it's worth, transceiver 1C has been reading pittags as well as timer tags. PTAGIS Kennewick will continue to monitor. No other problems found. 06/10/2004 13:39 Darren This is a test message sent from the 'legacy'web interface. It should be deposited in the top-level directory of the BO1 Events forum. 06/09/2004 08:36 troy@ruf 01:BadOscFreq,01:LowExcCurrent,03:LowExcCurrent,04:LowExcCurrent,05:LowExc Current,06:LowExcCurrent,07:LowExcCurrent,0B:TestTagFailure,0C:LowExcCurre nt,0F:LowExcCurrent,10:LowExcCurrent: Alarms were generated while PTOC personnel were swapping out Analog boards. 06/08/2004 14:17 Troy A GMC was done on the B branch. The analog boards on the A branch were replace with temporary analog boards to allow PSMFC to ship the analog boards back to Destron for NPO capacitor replacement. No other problems found. 06/04/2004 14:29 Troy A site GMC was performed today. All transceivers were checked for tune and no problems were found. 05/28/2004 08:15 darren@r 10:LowExcCurrent: Alarm was generated by PSMFC personnel while performing a site GMC. 05/27/2004 13:42 Darren A site gmc was performed. All transceivers were checked for noise and tuning. No problems were found. 05/24/2004 08:08 darren@r 1C:Overrun: Although this is a valid alarm there was only one "overrun" condition reported. PSMFC will monitor this transceiver for future alarms and will adjust on the next site visit. 05/23/2004 09:21 troy@ruf 1C:TestTagFailure: Test tag failed due to excessive noise at the time the tag fired. PTOC will monitor for future instances 05/21/2004 08:18 alan@ree 10:LowExcCurrent: These alarms were generated by PTAGIS Kennewick personel during a site visit. 05/20/2004 14:45 scott Performed GMC, all transcievers were checked for tune and calibration. No problems to report. 05/17/2004 08:11 darren@r 16:LowExcCurrent,16:Overrun: alarms were generated by PSMFC personnel while conducting a site GMC. 05/14/2004 12:00 Alan A GMC was performed 5/14/2004. All transceivers were tuned. Addressing the recent spate of low current errors on coil 15: I verified that the alarm threshold was 3800mA; unsucessfully tried to adjust the exciter voltage to over come that threshold (I could not surpass 3600mA); connected transceiver 16 (which drives it's antenna at 4100mA) and could not drive antenna 15 over 3200mA. I reconnected the transceivers to their respective antennas and retuned. I lowered the alarm threshold on coil 15 to 3300mA. This transceiver is reading pittags and timer tags with an acceptable efficiency. I suspect that something non-catastrophic has happened to antenna 15. PTAGIS Kennewick will continue to monitor. No other problems found. 05/14/2004 07:52 dlwarf@r 15:LowExcCurrent: Alarm to be addressed today. 05/11/2004 06:38 darren@r 15:LowExcCurrent: This transceiver wil be checked on the next site visit from PSMFC. The alarm threshold will be adjusted if necessary to avoid the alarm being tripped until PSMFC can get on site. 05/10/2004 16:20 Darren Tim Darland from COE called and informed me that they will be doing some power switching tomorrow at 05:00, this will be a momentary loss of power which will not see from the computer end but should see the transceivers all reset. They will be doing the same thing at the same time on the following morning. 05/04/2004 09:04 darren@r 14:LowExcCurrent,15:LowExcCurrent,1E:LowExcCurrent: Alarms were generated by PSMFC personnel while performing routinge maintenance. 05/04/2004 09:02 Darren A site GMC was performed. All transceivers were tuned and checked for noise. No Problems were found. We also removed the listening post (BX1) yesterday at around 16:30. 05/02/2004 10:51 darren@r 1C:Overrun: Site will be visited for a GMC on Monday. All transceivers will checked for tune and noise. 04/26/2004 08:38 alan@ruf 1C:Overrun: This transceiver reported some noise about the same time as the overrun. All other indications are that this transeiver is working properly. PTAGIS Kennewick will continue to monitor. 04/23/2004 21:32 Dave We were alerted a few days ago that a power outage was scheduled for "sometime on Friday" at Bonneville. Since I was in the neighborhood this PM, I stopped at the facility. I found a 0-byte BO104114.C.TMP file, indicating that the power outage occurred sometime between 6 and 9 AM today. BO104114.D was created at 15:12 today; this is when power was restored. I stopped and restarted data collection, and then manually uploaded BO104114.D to PTAGIS. There are no data available, on either PC, for the 9+ hours between 6 AM and 3:12 PM. 04/19/2004 12:22 alan@ree 1C:TestTagFailure: No apparent reason for this failure. There are some noise indications in the raw file possibly caused by some fish in the field. PTAGIS Kennewick will continue to monitor. 04/06/2004 08:54 troy@ree 15:LowExcCurrent,15:Overrun: PTOC is aware that this coil has issues and is monitoring failures to better diagnose the problem. 03/26/2004 08:00 Alan Files have been submitted manually. PTAGIS Kennewick is working to resolve the problem with automated uploading. 03/24/2004 08:12 Alan I was able to PCA into PC1 and manually submit the tardy files. PTAGIS Kennewick will continue to monitor. >The following problems with remote sites were detected; > >bo1: Last data submission was received on Tue Mar 23 9:02:17 PST 2004 > >Please check this out. 03/23/2004 12:08 Alan In an effort to revive the timer tag on coil 20 two problems were found. First, the timer tag was set too high on the transceiver itself. This adjusted back down to 100. Second, transceiver 20 was not in the configuration on PC1. It appears to have been absent since file BO104075.K1. It was added to the configuration on PC1. No other problems found. 03/15/2004 16:00 scott These 3 site interrogation platforms were upgraded this afternoon to the the new production release Minimon 1.4.4 with exception of bo3 that recieved the new release UpLoader 1.1.5. The new file extention identifier option was also implimented on MiniMon platforms,i.e., primary pc identified as .X1 and the back up pc as .X2. The SOP that was written to back fill file gaps when PC's are taken offline was also tested and followed during this upgrade. 03/15/2004 11:54 Darren A site GMC was performed today. All transceivers were checked for noise and tune. No Problems were found. 03/03/2004 11:22 alan@ree 0A:LowExcCurrent,0C:LowExcCurrent: These were caused by Kennewick PTAGIS during a GMC. 03/02/2004 11:52 Alan A GMC was performed 3/2/2004. All transceivers were tuned. The Rocket Port cards have been replaced and the clocks on both PCs are set to within one second of atomic time. PC1 was out of data collection for approximately 23 minutes. No fish data appeared on PC2 during this time. No Problems found. 02/20/2004 13:03 Alan A GMS was performed 2/20/2004. All transceivers were tuned. No problems found. 02/14/2004 11:44 scottl@r 02:LowExcCurrent,02:TestTagFailure,04:TestTagFailure,07:TestTagFailure,09: BadExcFreq,09:BadOscFreq,09:LowExcCurrent,09:Overrun,09:TestTagFailure,0A: TestTagFailure,0B:TestTagFailure,0C:TestTagFailure,0D:TestTagFailure,11:Te stTagFailure,13:TestTagFailure,14:LowExcCurrent: Site visit was conducted yesterday to retune transceivers post water up. Resetting tass in order to detect residual problems that need corrected on next weeks site visit 02/13/2004 13:47 Scott_Li Antenna 18 was returned to service at ~1230 pst today. Replaced transceiver for antenna 09 due to excessive noise levels. The new TT for 09 is 3E7.0000001D09. Please remove old TT and reference the new one in the TT table. All other transceivers were checked for tune. 02/12/2004 17:16 Scott_Li The ladder was water-up without notification from the COE. PCA'd into the site and verified that all transcievers are in the scan mode with exception of Antenna 18 that was replaced during the down time. the transceiver is off and will be returned to service tomorrow, Feb.13th. FYI.... Most of the transceivers are experiencing excessive noise levels , this will corrected tomorrow also. Will try and nail down what day the ladder actually watered up... 02/07/2004 08:15 D._Chase Two (2) listening antenna's were installed at the serpentine weirs at the Washington ladder (BX2) and Bradford Island (BX1). We are noise testing for the upcoming slotted weir antenna's. We finished the installation and verified communications yesterday afternoon. 02/07/2004 08:11 darren@r 18:LowExcCurrent: This antenna was replaced on Thursday. We tested the antenna with an extension cord and tuned it dry. I will supply all the details for the removal of this antenna on Monday morning. 02/03/2004 08:07 Troy During a ladder inspection on 2/2/04 an obstruction was found across the upstream base of coil OC. This may have caused loading or abnormal fish behavior which is turn may be seen in the overall effeciency of the coil. 01/24/2004 10:25 alan@ruf 0C:TestTagFailure,13:LowExcCurrent,14:LowExcCurrent,17:LowExcCurrent,18:Lo wExcCurrent,19:LowExcCurrent,1B:LowExcCurrent,1D:LowExcCurrent,1F:TestTagF ailure: Clearing the TASS panel. This ladder is currently watered down. 01/21/2004 08:38 Darren The removal of power to the transceivers that was performed by Tammy Mackey prior to COE ladder inspection was coordinated with PTOC personnel. She was instructed by PTOC personnel on what breakers to shut "off" and how to verify transceivers were indded without power. 01/21/2004 08:05 Darren_C Tammy Mackey informed that the transceivers were powered "off" at 10:00 yesterday. The ladder is currently de-watered and the COE have done their walk through. PTOC personnel will be onsite before the ladder is watered up to do inspections and possibly replace antenna 18 on the "B" Branch. 01/19/2004 09:18 darren@r 1F:TestTagFailure: alarm was generated by noise caused by operations of facility. 01/19/2004 09:14 darren@r 0C:TestTagFailure: These alarms are being generated due to the high volume of noise that is caused by the ladder being at "oriface" flow. We should know if there is any improvement by Tuesday on the operations at Bonneville. 01/18/2004 09:26 darren@r 0C:TestTagFailure,1D:LowExcCurrent: The alarms are being generated because of the state of operation at Bonneville dam. PTOC personnel will evaluate the situation on Tuesday. We will monitor for progress in the operations at this site. 01/17/2004 09:38 darren@r 0A:TestTagFailure,0C:TestTagFailure,1D:LowExcCurrent: Because of emergency actions taken at Bonneville I will expect to see large amounts of "low exc cuurent" and "test tag" failure alarms, not only here but at Cascade Island and the washington ladder (BO2,BO3), I will wait for any information from Tammy Mackey and post it when it becomes available. 01/16/2004 15:33 Scott_Li Per Tammy Mackey Due to a reported oil slick upriver of Bonneville Dam, we have taken the following actions to prevent contamination of our fishways. All juvenile bypass systems remain out of service. The AFF is out of service. All adult fishways are going to orifice flow and all AWS valves are closed. Bays 1 and 18 are closed. PH1 ice and trash sluiceway is closed. Fishways will remain at orifice flow with the exit leads such that water will come from underwater rather than the surface. Since Bradford Island is going to orifice flow on Sunday, we will leave the ladder at orifice flow all weekend. Fisheries will come in on Saturday to check ladder conditions at Washington Shore/Cascades Island to determine whether or not it is safe to bring the ladder back to full operation. Please be patient. More details will follow as soon as possible. Thank you, Tammy 01/15/2004 08:22 darren@r 0A:TestTagFailure,18:LowExcCurrent,1D:LowExcCurrent: Site was retuned on Monday 1-12-04. We will wait to see what alarms, if any, will need to be addressed. The site is on schedule to de water on 1-20-04. Tammy Mackey will notify PTOC personnel when this process is complete. 01/13/2004 19:20 troy@ree 0A:TestTagFailure,13:LowExcCurrent: Clearing tass panel, site was re-tune on1/12/03. 01/12/2004 16:03 Darren Site was checked by PTOC personnel and all transceivers were retuned for optimization. The reason for the large files and elevated alarm messages was the water level had dropped in the ladder because the intake screens were plugged and needed to be cleaned. Most site personnel were not here last week due to the inclement weather. 01/12/2004 08:05 darren@r 05:LowExcCurrent,0A:TestTagFailure,0D:LowExcCurrent,13:LowExcCurrent,14:Lo wExcCurrent,18:LowExcCurrent,1D:LowExcCurrent: Site will be visited today by PTOC personnel. We will be tuning all transceivers. 01/09/2004 08:27 darren@r 05:LowExcCurrent,0D:LowExcCurrent,13:LowExcCurrent,14:LowExcCurrent,15:Low ExcCurrent,1D:LowExcCurrent: Site will be retuned on 1-12-04. I have tried to change some of the parameters so the file size would not be so great, but I am unable to keep up via PCA. I believe the drastic change could be due to weather. 01/08/2004 13:06 Darren_C Dave Marvin alerted us to an increase of file sizes from this site. I PCA'd into it and found several transceivers reporting "low exciter current" and "excessive noise" alarms. I was able to change several of the transceivers parameters so that the file size would minimize. I tried to get in touch with Tammy Mackey to find out if there was any activity within the ladder, the ladder is not scheduled to be de-watered until 1-20-04, but I have not heard anything yet. PTOC personnel will be on site either 1-12-04 or 1-14-04 for site tuning of both Cascade Island (BO2) and Washington Shore (BO3) and will investigate the ongoing of BO1. The cold weather the last couple of days may have something to do with what has transpired in the files. I will post the information from Tammy when I receive it. 01/06/2004 08:17 Darren_C Disregard me pitevent posting for this site. The posting should have been for BO3. BO1 will be checked for tuning on the next site visit. 01/06/2004 08:12 darren@r 05:LowExcCurrent,13:LowExcCurrent,15:LowExcCurrent: Site is still currently not watered up. It is scheduled to be watered up either Wednesday or Thursday of this week. This is the e-mail that I received from Tammy Mackey yesterday. Due to inclement weather conditions, Washington Shore and Cascades Island fishways will not return to service today. Towards the middle of the week, when the weather should be slightly warmer, crews will have the ladders ready to return to service. 01/01/2004 11:56 Dave Initialized new event log for 2004. 2003 event log has been archived. ####End of Event Log for BO1###
