Do not use tabs, only spaces. Date Time Who What ---------- ----- -------- ----------------------------------------------- 04/08/2005 13:25 Dave I disabled site checking for IHA and enabled site checking (3 hours) for ICH. 04/08/2005 10:10 Scott_Li The interrogation platforms were shutdown at 8:15:11 until 13:23:00 hrs on 4/7/05. This outage was required so that an additional circuit breaker could be installed in the PIT-tag room panel board for the new full flow transceiver recepticles. 04/08/2005 09:06 Alan_Bro The 4:59 file gap on 04/07/05 from 08:24 to 19:17 was due to USACE cutting the power to facilitate ICH construction. The north ladder was not affected. The buffers for transceivers 09 - 10 will be downloaded and examined for any useful data. 04/07/2005 12:17 Don_Warf The COE cut power to the PIT-Tag room this morning to tie in the service for the new full flow. Power should be on within a few hours. Exact time of the outage will be posted later. 04/05/2005 08:22 Darren_C A GMC was performed yesterday. All the transceivers were checked for tuning and noise. No problems were found. Darren R. Chase PSMFC Systems Engineer (509) 735-2773 ext.3 03/31/2005 15:40 Alan_Bro IHA05090.E1 was manually pushed to PTAGIS via PCA. 03/26/2005 08:38 troy@ruf 02:Overrun,03:Overrun,04:Overrun,05:Overrun,06:Overrun,07:Overrun,08:Overr un: These alarms were most likely caused by construction being performed below the ladder. PSMFC will continue to monitor. 03/24/2005 08:50 darren@r 02:Overrun,03:Overrun,04:Overrun,06:Overrun,07:Overrun,08:Overrun: Alarms were possibly generated by ongoing construction on the full flow pipe, The contractor is performing quite a bit of welding in the area. 03/21/2005 08:13 darren@r 03:Overrun,06:Overrun: I will verify with site personnel but these alarms may have been generated by construction that is being performed on the full flow monitors. There was some welding that was needed on the last (A4) monitor but I was unsure of when this was to be completed. 03/20/2005 10:11 alan@ruf 02:Overrun,03:Overrun,04:Overrun,06:Overrun,06:TestTagFailure,08:Overrun: No apparent reason for these alarms. These transceivers appear to be in tune and are reading timer tags. PTAGIS Field Operations will investigate on the next site visit. 03/19/2005 08:16 alan@ruf 02:Overrun,03:Overrun,06:Overrun,07:Overrun: No apparent reason for these alarms. These transceivers appear to be in tune and are reading timer tags. The raw file shows noise events occurring about the time of these alarms. PTAGIS Field Operations will continue to monitor. 03/16/2005 08:55 darren@r 0B:LowExcCurrent,0C:LowExcCurrent,0C:Overrun: Alarms were generated by PSMFC personnel while performing site GMC. 03/15/2005 15:49 Troy A GMC was performed 3/15/05. All transceivers were checked for tune. Tranceiver 0C was difficult to tune. I checked the connection box out at the ladder and there is water in it but the connector is dry. I check read range on there is good read range. I shut off lights to see if that could be the cause. I swapped cables and the noise stayed with the tranceiver. PTOC will continue to monitor for future problems. 03/09/2005 09:19 alan@ree 04:TestTagFailure,08:TestTagFailure,0B:LowExcCurrent,0C:LowExcCurrent: These alarms were generated during the v5.0 transceiver firmware upgrade. 03/08/2005 15:44 scottl Traveled to site to unball the PCA session that was botched earlier in the day. Minimon was still collecting data when arrived, manually submitted data file in data dir. Re-instated new PCA host session, all is well. PCA Event tracking has been turned on in PC1 and 2 03/08/2005 14:07 Don_Warf All transceivers on the north ladder except for 0C were mistakenly put into standby on 3/3/05 at 9:15 am. This was found and corrected during yesterday's GMC. 03/08/2005 08:24 Alan_Bro All transceivers were flashed with version 5.0 firmware 3-7-2005. 02/21/2005 11:12 Troy Timer tags 01,0C are not firing regularly. These will be addressed on the next site visit. 02/16/2005 09:59 darren@r 02:LowExcCurrent,04:LowExcCurrent,04:Overrun,06:LowExcCurrent,08:LowExcCur rent,09:LowExcCurrent,0B:LowExcCurrent,0B:Overrun,0C:LowExcCurrent,0C:Over run,0D:LowExcCurrent: Alarms were generated during the watering up of the North Ladder. PSMFC personnel were on site during this process and all transceivers were tuned after ladder was watered-up. 02/15/2005 16:01 scottl The North and South ladders watered up yesterday 2/14/05 between the times of 0700 and 1200 hrs. All transceivers were tuned at that time and then retuned after the ladders had stabilized on 2/15/05 ~ 1530 hrs. Transceiver 0C was replaced due to randomly going into standby mode. Equilizer circuit was tuned and all internal diagnostic parameters were set to the standard settings. Transceiver 03 was not flashed at this time but will recieve the new 5.0 firmware program soon. One note on 03, the noise levels could not be lowered below ~10-14 percent. The problem seems to follow the antenna but need to let the new transceiver warm up to temp before further investigation is warranted 02/14/2005 08:47 scottl@r 04:LowExcCurrent,04:Overrun,06:LowExcCurrent,08:LowExcCurrent,08:Overrun: Alarms due to the transceivers being detuned.. PSMFC will be onsite today to tune the transceivers after waterup.. 02/08/2005 08:37 darren@r 02:LowExcCurrent,06:LowExcCurrent,08:LowExcCurrent: Alarms are being generated by the low level of water in the upper part of the South ladder this is due to the Counting window being repaired. I will adjust the threshold levels to minimize the alarm counts. 02/07/2005 16:29 Darrenq NORTH LADDER - The all antennas in the North ladder were inspected today (2-7-05). All antennas and housings appear to be in very good condition with little wear. Antenna 0E (the orifiace antenna on weir 436) is loose in the guides and moves from side to side. The hold down bracket was checked but did not appear to be loose, given the design there is no real hold down force other than the piece of PVC conduit that runs from the top to the bottom. There may have been some clearance when the antenna was installed. SOUTH LADDER - The new counting window is leaking and will be repaired on Thursday. The stop logs were put in place today at 09:30 and the ladder was drawn down to a level below the counting window glass. The water level is being controlled by flow control pumps and will remain until the window has been repaired. There is allowable movement within the ladder but not up to our antennas. 02/07/2005 15:50 darren@r 02:LowExcCurrent,03:LowExcCurrent,04:LowExcCurrent,06:LowExcCurrent,08:Low ExcCurrent,0B:LowExcCurrent,0C:LowExcCurrent,0C:Overrun: The alrms that occured on antennas 02,03,04,06, and 08 were caused by the lowering of the ladder water. The alarms on antennas 0B and 0C were generated by PSMFC personnel during some antenna testing. 02/05/2005 07:11 darren@r 10:TestTagFailure: Alarm cleared by PSMFC personnel. The North ladder is de-watered. 02/04/2005 16:05 darren@r 0A:TestTagFailure: Alarm cleared. North ladder is de-watered until 2-24- 05. 02/04/2005 09:10 darren@r 0A:TestTagFailure: This alarm will be cleared by PSMFC personnel. The North ladder is currently OOS and is not schedlued to be in service until 2-24-05. 02/04/2005 08:26 Darren I spoke with Mark Plummer this morning and he informed me that the South ladder has been drawn down to about 2ft. below the counting window. They are having problems with the new counting window leaking and are in the process of fixing it. It will probably remain in this condition until sometime next week. 02/03/2005 08:08 darren@r 0A:TestTagFailure,0C:LowExcCurrent,0C:TestTagFailure: These alarms will be cleared. The alarm threshold limits were adjusted yesterday. The timer tag failures are probably due to the fact that the antennas are severly de-tuned because the North ladder is de-watered. 02/02/2005 08:25 darren@r 09:LowExcCurrent,0A:TestTagFailure,0E:LowExcCurrent,0F:LowExcCurrent: Alamr threshold levels will be adjusted by PSMFC personnel. 02/01/2005 11:18 darren@r 09:LowExcCurrent,0A:LowExcCurrent,0A:TestTagFailure,0B:LowExcCurrent,0C:Lo wExcCurrent,0D:LowExcCurrent,0E:LowExcCurrent,0F:LowExcCurrent,10:LowExcCu rrent: These alarms were generated as the ladder was being de-watered. Site personnel stated that the ladder was completely de-watered about 09:00 yesterday (1-31-05). The ladder is scheduled to be back in operation on 2-24-05. PSMFC will verify the date when this action is carried out. 01/31/2005 08:02 alan@ree 01:TestTagFailure,02:TestTagFailure,03:BadExcFreq,03:BadOscFreq,03:LowExcC urrent,04:LowExcCurrent,04:TestTagFailure,05:TestTagFailure,06:TestTagFail ure,08:TestTagFailure,09:TestTagFailure,0A:TestTagFailure,0B:TestTagFailur e,0C:TestTagFailure,0D:TestTagFailure,0E:TestTagFailure,0F:LowExcCurrent,0 F:TestTagFailure,10:TestTagFailure: These alarms were generated by PTAGIS Field Operations personel during a site visit. 01/28/2005 13:16 Alan_Bro A GMC was performed 1/28/2005. All transceivers were given a preseason tuning. Sensitivity, EQ, timer tag hit rate, tuning, onboard ammeter and current alarm threshold were all adjusted. The buffers were erased. Last season's files were moved from the archive folder to a subfolder in the Minimon folder (2004 Data) on both PCs. Both PCs clocks are within five seconds of atomic time. No problems found. 01/28/2005 08:44 darren@r 04:LowExcCurrent,04:Overrun,06:LowExcCurrent,07:LowExcCurrent,08:LowExcCur rent,08:Overrun: The ladder was watered up at 12:40 yesterday (1-27-05). PSMFCwill be on-site today for sytem tuning for the upcoming season. 01/25/2005 08:33 darren@r 04:LowExcCurrent,04:Overrun,06:LowExcCurrent,08:LowExcCurrent,08:Overrun: These alarms have been acknowledged. PSMFC will address on the next visit. 01/15/2005 16:25 Troy pca'ed into IHA and manually pushed IHA05014.D1 to Portland. 01/07/2005 11:13 Troy A site GMC was performed 1/7/05. The North ladder was checked for tune and no problems were found. Pictures were taken of the South ladders antennas. This ladder is not yet completely de-watered but close. 01/04/2005 09:09 darren@r 02:LowExcCurrent,02:Overrun,04:LowExcCurrent,04:Overrun,06:LowExcCurrent,0 7:LowExcCurrent,08:LowExcCurrent: The South Shore ladder was de-watered yesterday around 10:00. It is scheduled to out of service until 1-27-05. 01/04/2005 08:57 Darren We confirmed that the South Shore ladder did infact de-water yesterday around 10:00. PSMFC will place the transceivers into "standby" mode, so the files do not become to large. The ladder is scheduled to be watered up on 1-27-05. Mark Plummer suggested that they will water up earlier but only to pressurize the new counting window and then de-water and water back up for the season on the scheduled date. ####End of Event Log for IHA###
