EVENT LOG FOR SITE MC1 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 -------- ----- -------- ----------------------------------------------- 12/21/2004 09:36 Troy A site GMC was performed 12/21/04. All transcievers were checked for tune and no problems were found. 12/15/2004 08:40 alan@ruf 01:Overrun: No apparent reason for this alarm. PTAGIS Field Operations will continue to monitor. 12/12/2004 09:07 troy@ree 01:Overrun: noted 12/10/2004 08:10 darren@r 09:TestTagFailure: No apparent reason for this failure. The noise level increased for a brief moment when the timer tag tried to fire. The timer tag is firing on the scheduled intervals, the detection system will be investigated on the next site visit. 11/24/2004 08:25 darren@r 09:TestTagFailure: No apparent reason for this failure. The test tag is currently firing on schedule. We will monitor for future failures and inverstigate this system on the next site visit. 11/23/2004 08:14 troy@ruf 08:TestTagFailure,09:TestTagFailure: Unsure as to the direct cause of these failures. The tune and timer tag will be adjusted on the next site visit. 11/22/2004 08:30 alan@ruf 05:LowExcCurrent,05:Overrun,07:TestTagFailure,08:TestTagFailure: These alarms were caused by PTAGIS Field Operations personnel during a site visit. 11/19/2004 12:18 Alan A GMC was performed 11/19/2004. All transceivers were tuned. Transceivers 07 and 08 displayed single digit signal level upon arrival, but there was still an intermittent noise waveform on the FDXB signal. I adjusted the sensitvity, EQ, and timer tag hit rate. This intermittent noise waveform is also present on transceivers not giving us trouble. Possibly the problem lies below the waterline and we will inspect the area when the ladder is de-watered. No other problems found. 11/18/2004 08:28 alan@ruf 07:TestTagFailure,08:TestTagFailure: These transceivers have been intermittently noisy but now appear to be behaving. PTAGIS Field Operations will continue to monitor. 11/14/2004 12:45 dlwarf@r 07:TestTagFailure,08:LowExcCurrent,09:LowExcCurrent: Caused by GMC. 11/12/2004 14:16 Alan_Bro PCA on PC1 had indeed comitted an egregious error. I re-initialized PCA and tested it's functionality by logging in from MC1-Utility. I performed a GMC at the site. Transceivers 07 and 08 were again found to be noisy. Cleaning the power connectors and retuning seems to have calmed them down. No other problems found. 11/12/2004 09:27 Alan_Bro I manually pushed MC104316.F1 to PTAGIS via PCA. PCA has since become unresponsive. MC104317.C1 has since loaded so I believe the problem to be with the PCA host at MC1. I will be en route shortly to remedy the problem. 11/12/2004 08:22 Alan_Bro I'm looking into the whereabouts of MC104316.F1... 11/11/2004 12:39 dlwarf@r 07:TestTagFailure: Noted. 11/09/2004 08:13 scottl@r 07:TestTagFailure,08:TestTagFailure: Will look into on the next GMC, Not of immediate concern. 11/06/2004 10:49 troy@ruf 07:TestTagFailure: This transciever may require tuning. It will be checked on the next site visit. 11/05/2004 08:23 darren@r 01:Overrun: This detection system will be investigated and serviced on the next site visit.The exciter report does not indicate any persistent problem with detection efficiencies. 10/30/2004 10:18 alan@ruf 07:TestTagFailure,09:TestTagFailure: These alarms occurred before yesterdays site visit. 10/29/2004 15:26 Alan_Bro A GMC was performed 10-29-2004. All transceivers were tuned. While trying to improve the noise performance (and hopefully get the timer tag to fire more consistently) on transceiver 07, a 120Hz (non-sinusoidal) waveform was noted rolling through the FDXB signal between no voltage and ~1Vpp at approximately 7 second intervals. I swapped power between transceivers 07 and 09 (09 has a different power feed and has been operating properly) and the phenomenon disappeared. I restored the power connections. All transceivers are currently operating in single digit noise levels. I cleaned the power connections for transceivers 07 and 08 (aka plugged and unplugged the power cables numerous times). PTAGIS field operations will continue to monitor. I adjusted the timer tag hit rate to 100 on both transceivers 07 and 08. No other problems found. 10/28/2004 08:24 alan@ruf 07:TestTagFailure: TestTagFailure: This transciever may require tuning. It will be check on the next site visit. 10/27/2004 08:09 troy@ruf 07:TestTagFailure: This transciever may require tuning. It will be check on the next site visit. 10/25/2004 08:21 darren@r 07:TestTagFailure: This failure could have been caused by a brief period of noise. The exciter report indicates that the noise seems to ebb and flow throughout the day. The transceiver may need to be adjusted. PSMFC will inspect and adjust on the next site visit. 10/24/2004 10:15 Darren_C I noticed that transceiver 02 was missing PITtag's and was not firing it's timer tag. I PCA'd into office and had to place the reader back into read mode. While doing some diagnostics on Friday the reader did not get placed back into read mode. I had sent the command to place the reader back into read mode and tested the timer tag but some reason the reader did not receive the command. I was not notified through TASS that the timer tag did not fire, I only became aware when the transceiver did not detect any PITtag's. The reader is detecting it's timer tag but does appear to be a little noisy and will be adjusted when PSMFC is on-site for maintenance. Darren R. Chase PSMFC Systems Engineer (509) 735-2773 ext.3 10/22/2004 08:11 darren@r 02:LowExcCurrent,07:TestTagFailure: These alarms were acknowledged and cleared yesterday. 10/20/2004 09:26 darren@r 07:TestTagFailure: This unit appears to have drifted out of tune and will be re-tuned on the next site visit. It is still detecting PITtag's with acceptable efficiencies. 10/15/2004 08:07 alan@ree 07:TestTagFailure: We suspect that the equalizer and/or power supply need adjustment on this transceiver. PTAGIS Field Operations will remedy this on the next site visit. 10/14/2004 09:11 alan@ruf 07:TestTagFailure: We suspect that the equalizer and/or power supply need adjustment on this transceiver. PTAGIS Field Operations will remedy this on the next site visit. 10/13/2004 08:58 alan@ree 07:TestTagFailure: We suspect that the equalizer and/or power supply need adjustment on this transceiver. PTAGIS Field Operations will remedy this on the next site visit. 10/12/2004 08:38 darren@r 07:TestTagFailure: There are brief periods of excessive noise but the exciter report only indicates that it only last for a short time. The other failure ocurred during a relatively quiet time. PSMFC will investigate on the next site visit. 10/11/2004 09:00 alan@ruf 07:TestTagFailure: This transceiver appears to have slightly drifted out of tune. PTAGIS Field Operations will remedy this on the next site visit. 10/05/2004 08:20 alan@ruf 07:TestTagFailure: There was a PIT Tagged fish near the antenna when the timer tag fired, this probably caused the alarm. 10/02/2004 08:56 troy@ree 07:TestTagFailure: This TT didn't fire due to excessive noise at the time. Will continue to monitor for future occurences. 09/30/2004 15:46 Alan_Bro A GMC was performed 9/30/2004. All transceivers were tuned, no problems found. 09/29/2004 08:19 darren@r 08:TestTagFailure: There is no direct cause for this alarm. The noise levels were elevated but the system seem to settle after some time. PSMFC will check this on the next site visit. 09/23/2004 08:55 darren@r 09:TestTagFailure: The test tag may have been affected by a PITtag that was near the field of this antenna. We will monitor for future failures on this detection system. 09/11/2004 09:44 dlwarf@r 06:TestTagFailure: Noted. 08/31/2004 15:34 Scott_Li Performed site GMC today, all transceivers were checked for tune and calibration. One note, Coil 02 appears to have an excessive amount of "Excessive Noise" alarms. The FDXB and peak noise levels are elevated but the average noise is extremely low. Not sure at this point if it's the transceiver or the antenna, more than likely the problems lies in the antenna.. This antenna is the old style that was used to replace the newer model after the connector was found to be broken. No other problems to report. OH ! the fall Chinook I seen come through the window had to be ~ 50 #'s or better. Estimated length was ~ 4ft 08/21/2004 12:56 scottl_l Coil 01 Counting window antenna is in an excessive noise level condition.Ave:48 % Peak and FDX are 98%. Also was getting low current alarm messages. The actual antenna current is at 4700 mA , alarm threshold was at 4700, changed setting to 4400. Either the antenna is severely out of tune, or some other source of interference has been introduced. Will monitor situation, PTAGIS personell will be on site Monday morning to correct if necessary. In the mean time, the fish numbers are relatively low therefore a site visit is not warranted. Give the state of the antenna, it is unlikely that it will detect fish and if the excessive noise gets any worse, I will put the reader into standby mode until the problem can be resolved. 08/21/2004 12:05 scottl@r 01:LowExcCurrent: Raw data file also indicates Excessive noise levels. Will PCA into MC1 and try and mitigate the problem 08/03/2004 08:00 troy@ruf 09:LowExcCurrent,09:TestTagFailure: These alarms caused by PSMFC personnel while troubleshooting excessive noise issues 08/03/2004 07:58 troy@ruf 07:BadExcFreq,07:BadOscFreq,07:LowExcCurrent,07:TestTagFailure: These alarms were caused by PSMFC personnel trouble shooting excessive noise issues 08/02/2004 12:48 Troy At the site today to determine the cause of excessive noise alarms on 05,07,08,09, and 0A. When I arrived all transceivers were in tune and would occassionally spike to 60-90% noise. I checked the FDXB levels on all and found only 09 to be out of adjustment. While doing my checks 07 and 08 started to spike quit reguarly. I moved the antenna cable for 08 across cabinets into 09 transceiver, tuned it and the noise spikes ceased in 07 and no noise spikes on 09 transceiver with antenna 08 hooked up to it. I then place everything back to where they belonged and adjusted the sensativity pot down to 2.42vdc on 07, 08 and 09 to see if this will help in the future. I found no direct cause for the noise spikes, there is no construction or maintenance activities going on currently at the site that I could see. We will continue to monitor this situation for future occurences. It should be noted for what it is worth that the is a lot of Shad holding up in the ladder. 08/02/2004 08:47 troy@ruf 06:TestTagFailure,08:TestTagFailure,09:TestTagFailure: These failures are the result of excessive noise levels. Pitagis personnel will be on site to investigate today. 07/29/2004 12:19 Alan_Bro A GMC was performed 7/29/2004. All transceivers were tuned. The exciter current was increased to 5A on transceiver 0C. No problems found. 07/29/2004 08:21 alan@ruf 0C:LowExcCurrent: This antenna appears to be in tune and is reading PIT Tags and timer tags. I will rectify this during a GMC today. 07/25/2004 10:09 alan@ree 0C:LowExcCurrent: This coil apears to be in tune and is reading pittags and timer tags. The exciter is putting out 4.8A and the threshold is 4.7A. PTAGIS Kennewick will adust as necessary during the next site visit. 07/24/2004 08:43 alan@ruf 0C:LowExcCurrent: 0C:LowExcCurrent: This coil apears to be in tune and is reading pittags and timer tags. The exciter is putting out 4.8A and the threshold is 4.7A. PTAGIS Kennewick will adust as necessary during the next site visit. 07/24/2004 08:43 alan@ree 0C:LowExcCurrent: This coil apears to be in tune and is reading pittags and timer tags. The exciter is putting out 4.8A and the threshold is 4.7A. PTAGIS Kennewick will adust as necessary during the next site visit. 07/19/2004 08:22 alan@ruf 0C:LowExcCurrent: This coil apears to be in tune and is reading pittags and timer tags. The exciter is putting out 4.8A and the threshold is 4.7A. PTAGIS Kennewick will adust as necessary during the next site visit. 07/18/2004 09:29 troy@ree 0C:LowExcCurrent: The cause for the current drop will be investigated on the next site visit. 07/16/2004 08:21 alan@ruf 0C:LowExcCurrent: The exciter is putting out 4.8A and the alarm threshold is set to 4.7A. The transceiver appears to be in tune, and is reading pittags and timer tags with a high efficiency. Possibly the recent warm weather has caused the exciter current to drop slightly. PTAGIS Kennewick will remedy this during the next site visit. 07/12/2004 13:43 Darren A site GMC was performed today (7-12-04). All transceivers were checked for tuning and noise. No problems were found. 07/10/2004 08:45 darren@r 10:LowExcCurrent: There was an unknown cause for the current to drop 1.5A. It returned within the hour. We will check this transceiver on the next site visit. It is possible that there was something in the ladder that caused the antenna to "load up" and it passed through. 07/05/2004 11:33 scottl@r 01:LowExcCurrent,01:Overrun,02:LowExcCurrent: Errors are not of concern 07/02/2004 08:17 darren@r 0E:LowExcCurrent: There is no direct cause for this alarm. PSMFC will check this transceiver on the next site visit. The exciter report does not indicate any problems with detectability. 06/30/2004 12:39 Darren A site GMC was performed today (6-30-04). All transceivers were checked for tuning and noise. No problems were found. 06/21/2004 14:11 Alan A GMC was performed 6/21/2004. All transceivers were tuned. Modem access for PCA has been disabled on both PCs. Problems occur with the unexplained connections PC1's been getting and not being able to cleanly exit from. TCP/IP connections are still available. No other problems found. 06/16/2004 08:56 Darren_C The antenna that was removed from the downstream side of the counting window due to a broken pin on the connector has been repaired by PSMFC personnel in Kennewick. The new style connector was installed and the antenna was tested. We are working on scheduling a date for re-installing this antenna back in the downstream side of the counting window. Darren R. Chase PSMFC Systems Engineer (509) 735-2773 ext.3 06/15/2004 10:35 Alan A GMC was performed 6/15/2004. All transceivers were tuned, no problems found. 06/09/2004 16:08 troy This is a test message sent from the ‘legacy’ web interface. It should be deposited in the top-level directory of the Events forum. 06/08/2004 14:25 scott Performed GMC, all transceivers were checked for tune and recalibrated as necessary. Antenna 0F (MC1) has periodic noise spikes up to 13-18 % that cannot be tuned out. Suspect that either the exciter cable conduit is rattling or water in the connector at the antenna may be the culprit. As far as I can tell, Coil 0F's detection efficiency has not been degraded. 06/06/2004 10:11 darren@r 03:LowExcCurrent: Current is equal to the alarm level. This will be adjusted via PCA tomorrow when I am in the office. 06/02/2004 14:14 Alan A GMC was performed 6/2/2004. All transceivers were tuned, no problems found. 05/29/2004 08:28 Darren This message was intended for MC1. ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Friday, May 28, 2004 4:05 PM Subject: pitevent for site(s) MC2 > For site(s) MC2, Darren (Posted via mail from Mail_Bot@pittag.org) > sends the following PITTAG event: > > A site GMC was performed.

The timer tag is firing on the scheduled intervals. PSMFC will monitor for future alarms and we will check this transceiver on the next site visit. 05/23/2004 09:30 troy@ruf 08:TestTagFailure: No apparent reason for this tag failing. Will continue to monitor and check out on the next site GMC. This Coil is reading fish efficiently. 05/19/2004 14:47 Darren Site was visited for a GMC. All transceivers were checked for tuning and noise. All were tuned for optimum efficiency. No Problems were found. 05/19/2004 11:40 darren@r 06:TestTagFailure,07:TestTagFailure: Site will be visited by PSMFC personnel for a GMC. All transceivers and coils will be checked for tuning and noise. 05/19/2004 08:50 Darren Antenna 02 was replaced on 5-18-04. The antenna was taken out of commission at 09:30 and was not re-instated until 12:50, at which point it was tuned for optimum reading efficiency. This is when the alarm occured. The antenna that was removed is currently at the PSMFC office in Kennewick for repairs. It will be re-installed when it has been repaired and can be coordinated with COE personnel. 05/15/2004 10:20 dlwarf@r 02:BadExcFreq,02:BadOscFreq,02:LowExcCurrent,02:TestTagFailure,08:TestTagF ailure: Errors created during repairs to antenna connector. 05/14/2004 16:06 Scott_Li The problem with antenna 02 (Counting Window) has been resolved..Darren and I found that Pin #1 and 2 on the antenna connector were failing intermittently... The repair consisted of drilling a hole down through the top of the pin and then wicking solder down inside the pin in order to secure it below the rubber sleave that isolates each pin from the others. While trying to drill down through Pin 2, the pin was broken off at the base where the rubber sleave stops. Resoldered the broken tip back onto the main pin , reconnected the exciter cable and tuned the transceiver.. the noise levels are extremely low, 2 to 4 percent.. Allthough this may not be a permanent fix, it buy's us time to schedule the replacement antenna installation... 05/14/2004 07:55 dlwarf@r 01:BadExcFreq,01:BadOscFreq,01:LowExcCurrent,01:Overrun,01:TestTagFailure, 02:BadExcFreq,02:BadOscFreq,02:LowExcCurrent,02:TestTagFailure,07:TestTagF ailure,08:TestTagFailure: Alarms created by site attempts to correct coil 02. Test tag failures will be monitored. 05/12/2004 21:13 darren@r 02:LowExcCurrent,02:TestTagFailure: This antenna detection system is being investigated by PSMFC personnel. We attempting to have a solution to this problem within the next couple of days. The COE personnel are having problems with the regulation of the ladder and control equipment so we hope that we can solve this problem before the regulation is under control. 05/11/2004 06:35 darren@r 02:LowExcCurrent,02:TestTagFailure: This detection system will be investigated today for failure causes. PSMFC will be conducting tests to determine the root cause of the failure, 05/10/2004 14:35 darren@r 02:LowExcCurrent: PSMFC PCA'd into the site and adjusted the alarm threshold so that the file size would be smaller. PSMFC will be on site tomorrow to do indepth testing of this detection system to determine what the problem may be. 05/10/2004 08:48 darren@r 02:LowExcCurrent: This transceiver and surrounding area will be inspected for possible external interference. We have been having sparratic noise problems with this antenna/transceiver detection system for the last week. 05/09/2004 09:29 alan@ree 01:TestTagFailure: This coil is experiencing some noise but is still reading tags. PTAGIS Kennewick will investigate next week. 05/08/2004 08:11 alan@ree 01:TestTagFailure,02:LowExcCurrent,02:TestTagFailure: These coils are experiencing some noise. PTAGIS Kennewick will investigate next week. 05/04/2004 23:26 darren@r 02:TestTagFailure: Alarm was generated by PSMFC personnel during testing of the antenna. We are currently monitoring this antenna for noise problems. 05/04/2004 16:10 alan@ruf 01:LowExcCurrent,02:LowExcCurrent,02:TestTagFailure: These alarms were generated while troubleshooting the Coil 02 noise issue. The fix appears to be cable related. We will coninue to monitor until confidence in this coil is back to normal. 05/04/2004 16:05 Alan A GMC was performed 5/4/2004. All transceivers were tuned, no problems found. 05/04/2004 10:19 dlwarf@r 01:LowExcCurrent,02:LowExcCurrent,02:TestTagFailure: Alarms caused by on-site maint. 05/03/2004 19:32 Don_Warf Due to excessive noise, coil 02 was shut down today at 11:50. The source of the noise was not found. The decision to shut down the coil was made because the noise was also coupling onto coil 01. The problem will be re-visited tomorrow. 05/02/2004 11:00 darren@r 02:LowExcCurrent: This alarm was adjusted yesterday after 08:20. The current was reset to 4200 mA. There does however appear to be a pittag in the field. I will investigate the "raw" files to see if the pittag has left the field. 05/01/2004 09:19 Darren I PCA'd into the site and reset the alarm threshold for coil 02. The transceiver seems to have drifted out of tune. We will address this issue on the next site visit. 05/01/2004 08:40 darren@r 02:LowExcCurrent: I will PCA into the site and adjust the alarm threshold to avoid building large files. The transceiver will be checked on the next site visit. 04/28/2004 08:07 scottl@r 03:LowExcCurrent,09:LowExcCurrent: Alsrms generated during GMC by maintenence staff, 04/27/2004 15:54 Scott_Li A GMC was performed today.. All transceivers were checked for optimum tune.No significant problems to report. 04/21/2004 11:42 Alan A GMC was performed 4/21/2004. All transceivers were tuned, no problems found. 04/13/2004 11:05 Alan A GMC was performed 4/13/2004. All transceivers were tuned, no problems found. 04/06/2004 13:32 Alan A GMC was performed 4/6/2004. All transceivers were tuned, no problems found. 03/18/2004 13:49 Alan A GMC was performed 3/18/2004. All transceivers were tuned. The VTT was adjusted on Transceiver 0F. No problems found. 03/17/2004 09:00 alan@ruf 10:Overrun: No apparent cause for the alarm. Kennewick PTAGIS will continue to monitor. 03/09/2004 08:23 darren@r 10:Overrun: No direct cause for the "overrun" condition. We will continue to monitor for future "overrun" conditions. 03/06/2004 07:58 alan@ree 0F:TestTagFailure: Clearing the TASS Panel. The VTT was inadvertantly switched off and has subsequently been swiched on. 03/06/2004 07:56 alan@ruf 10:LowExcCurrent: No apparent cause for these alarms, PTAGIS Kennewick will continue to monitor. 03/05/2004 08:06 Scott_Li Pete Peterson called to inform us that the Sprint T-1 link is down from Granite dam to McNary as also verified by COE BigBrother. No status as yet when the link will be repaired. Pete will call when link is repaired... 03/04/2004 08:16 darren@r 0F:LowExcCurrent,0F:Overrun,0F:TestTagFailure: The single exciter current and overrun alarms were a onetime event that may have been caused by some outside activity. The test tag failure will need to be looked into. The exciter report does show any signs of degredation on the trnasceiver end so it is possible that the fine tuning will need to be addressed. 03/04/2004 08:08 darren@r 06:Overrun: There may have been a significant noise event at or around the time of the "overrun" condition because there were also some "excessive noise" events in the same time frame. This transceiver will be looked at on the next site visit. Although the alarm would indicate that it happened on 2-29-04 the exciter report shows no signs of noise jumps since that time. 03/02/2004 08:25 Alan A GMC was performed 3-1-2004. All transceivers were tuned, no problems found. 02/24/2004 09:44 Alan_Bro Pete Peterson from the Walla Walla district COE reports a network slow down. This could be affecting our 9:00 file loads. More information as it becomes available. 02/21/2004 09:00 Darren Brad Eby phoned me yesterday (2-20-04) to inform me that the backdrop for the counting window and picketed leads were put in place on Wednesday some time in the afternoon, he was not sure of the exact time but thought that it was in the afternoon, I will try to verify a more specific time when I am on site Monday. 02/18/2004 08:23 darren@r 01:TestTagFailure,02:TestTagFailure,03:LowExcCurrent,03:TestTagFailure,07: TestTagFailure,08:LowExcCurrent,08:TestTagFailure,09:TestTagFailure,0B:Tes tTagFailure,0F:LowExcCurrent: These alarms were generated by PTOC personnel. All transceivers were fine tuned for equalization and noise. The ladder is completely watered up including the counting window. There is no backdrop at the counting window. I will check with Brad Eby and find out the exact date for the insertion of the backdrop. 02/17/2004 08:43 darren@r 02:TestTagFailure,08:TestTagFailure,09:TestTagFailure: These failures will be checked out and fixed today during a site GMC on MC1. 02/16/2004 09:23 darren@r 02:TestTagFailure,08:TestTagFailure,09:TestTagFailure: The tag failures on coil 02 are caused by the VTT switch being in the "off" position. The others should be firing and will be addressed on the next site visit. Currently there is no water flowing through the counting window so there is no reason to believe that coil 02 is missing any PITtag detections. 02/15/2004 13:02 scottl_l TT did not fire as indicated in the exceptions report. Raw indicates transceivers are tuned and functioning Will address problem on the next site visit. ~09-15 02/15/04 09:10:54 ALARM Diagnostics for 09: ~09-15 02/15/04 09:10:54 ALARM Temperature: 22C Exciter power: 14.6V ~09-15 02/15/04 09:10:54 ALARM Exciter current: 4.1A Signal level: 6% ~08-11 02/15/04 09:21:44 ALARM Diagnostics for 08: ~08-11 02/15/04 09:21:44 ALARM Temperature: 18C Exciter power: 15.9V ~08-11 02/15/04 09:21:44 ALARM Exciter current: 3.5A Signal level: 1% 02/14/2004 12:40 Scott_Li I was not able to establish communications with either of the primary pc's for these sites from the slow dial-up account in my home. Came into the office to correct the upload isues with PC1 and 2 at both sites. The Primary computers were building one large continuous file since day 43, Fri. Feb 12th. file number being built was 04043.f. This problem has been documented many times in the past and is a prime example of why the latest version of Minimon should be deployed ASAP. 02/10/2004 08:22 darren@r 01:TestTagFailure,02:TestTagFailure,04:TestTagFailure,08:TestTagFailure,09 :TestTagFailure,0B:TestTagFailure,0C:TestTagFailure,10:TestTagFailure,11:T estTagFailure,12:TestTagFailure: All transceivers were checked for tune and timer tag hit rates. All hit rates were 100% and there were no problems with the tune. The ladder is only at orifice flow, I am not sure if this has anything to do with the timer tag issues. The ladder will be at a normal flow by the end of next week, we will monitor the site for any changes. 02/09/2004 15:41 Darren This site was visited to replace the rocketport cards in PC1 and PC2. All the transceivers were addressed on noise and tune. The timer tags were checked for firing. There were no problems found. The ladder has been at orifice flow since water up which was 2-6-04 at about 12:00 to 13:00, this also means that the counting window antenna's have almost no water flowing through them. 02/09/2004 09:14 darren@r 01:TestTagFailure,11:TestTagFailure: Site will be visited today for rocketport card installation and tuning of all transceivers. I will also find out the exact time for water-up on Friday from Brad Eby. 02/08/2004 10:54 dlwarf@r 01:TestTagFailure,11:TestTagFailure: Timer tag failures will be addressed on Monday. 02/07/2004 08:17 darren@r 01:TestTagFailure,05:LowExcCurrent,07:LowExcCurrent,08:LowExcCurrent,09:Lo wExcCurrent,0A:LowExcCurrent,0B:BadExcFreq,0B:BadOscFreq,0B:LowExcCurrent, 0B:TestTagFailure,0C:LowExcCurrent,0D:LowExcCurrent,0F:LowExcCurrent,10:Lo wExcCurrent,11:TestTagFailure: Site was visited and retuned yesterday. The lasdder was watered up but only to an orifice flow, it will remain at this level for a few days. I will verify exact times with Brad Eby on Monday. The counting window antenna's do not have any water flowing through them. 02/07/2004 08:07 ptagdev@ 10:ExcessiveNoise: Test AcknowledgeAndPost. Doug Clough 02/07/2004 08:07 D._Chase The site was watered up yesterday. I spoke with Brad Eby and he informed me that the ladder is only at orifice flow. The water level will stay there for a few days. I was onsite Friday at about 16:00 to tune all the transceivers. All the transceivers were tuned to eliminate all the noise and current alarms. The antenna's at the counting window were tuned but the water is not high enough to flow through either antenna. The backdrop is also not in place at the counting window. I will talk with Brad first thing Monday for exact times of water up, he thought it was sometime between 12:00 and 13:00 hrs. 02/07/2004 08:02 ptagdev@ 11:ExcessiveNoise: Test AcknowledgeAndPost. Doug Clough 02/07/2004 07:56 ptagdev@ 12:ExcessiveNoise: Test AcknowledgeAndPost. Doug Clough 02/06/2004 15:04 Don_Warf Site was watered up for the season today. Put all transceivers into read mode via PCA at 1:30 PST. The site will be tuned later today. Exact time of water up will be posted after the site visit. 02/05/2004 08:26 darren@r 02:LowExcCurrent: This unit was accidentally put back into "read" mode because of a brief power outage. I placed it back into "standby" until the ladder is watered back up. 02/03/2004 09:16 Darren_C I spoke with Brad Eby today (2-3-04) and found the ladder schedules have changed slightly. The new schedule is as follows: MC1 - water up has been delayed until the end of week 2-3-04, and they will probably only be at orifice flow at that time. MC2 - Will be de-watered on 2-17-04 and will only be out of commission until 2-26-04. PTOC personnel will be doing ladder inspections during this time period. 02/03/2004 09:12 Darren_C I noticed that there was a "low exc current" alarm on TASS this morning so I investigated the "raw" files to see that transceivers 01, 02 had been reset. I spoke with Brad Eby and stated that power had been removed for a couple of days in the location of the counting window. I PCA'd into the site and placed the transceivers in "Standby" until the ladder is watered up. This should avoid filling up the TASS panel with alarms. 01/31/2004 09:30 troy@ree 02:LowExcCurrent: Ladder is currently dewater causing this alarm 01/21/2004 08:41 Darren_C These sites had not loaded files since 18:00 on 1-20-04. I PCA'd into each site and manually sent files. There seems to have been a router issue because "no path to host" errors were reported on each of the sites PC1-PTTP uploader. All sites sent files without any failures. 01/18/2004 09:42 D._Chase On Friday PTOC personnel inspected all antenna's and conduit for damage. We found all conduit to be intact and the antenna's displayed only normal wear. We asked Brad Eby to add an additional strap on the exciter cable conduit on weir 287 possibly elevate some vibration that could possibly add some additional noise to the system. 01/16/2004 15:06 Alan Manually submitted MC103349.D from PC1 to fill a hole in the data. 01/15/2004 08:40 Darren_C I have placed the transceivers into "standby" mode until tomorrow when PTOC personnel will be on site for inspection. 01/15/2004 08:25 darren@r 01:Overrun,02:LowExcCurrent,04:LowExcCurrent,05:LowExcCurrent,08:LowExcCur rent,09:LowExcCurrent,09:TestTagFailure,0A:LowExcCurrent,0C:LowExcCurrent, 0D:TestTagFailure,0E:LowExcCurrent,0F:LowExcCurrent,10:LowExcCurrent,11:Lo wExcCurrent: Site was de-watered on Thursday 1-8-04. PTOC personnel will be on site tomorrow 1-16-04 to inspect the antenna's and conduit for any repairs. The site is scheduled to be watered up on 2-2-04, I will check with site personnel on the actual schedule and post tomorrow. 01/12/2004 09:33 Darren I was notified by Brad Eby on Friday 1-9-04 that the ladder was de-watered on Thursday at 09:30 and all fish were chased out by 10:00. The ladder is scheduled to out of service until 2-2-04. PTOC personnel will conducting ladder inspections on all antenna's and conduit next week. 01/06/2004 09:13 darren@r 0D:TestTagFailure: Site will be checked when the ladder is de-watered. It is scheduled to de-watered on Wednesday or Thursday of this week. 01/05/2004 09:06 Darren_C I spoke with both Brad Eby (McNary) and Mark Plummer (Ice Harbor) and both confirmed that the de-watering of the Ladders (MC1, IHA-South) have been delayed due to the weather. Both sites report that the de-watering will take place later this week when the weather is due to warm up. 01/01/2004 12:00 Dave Initialized new event log for 2004. 2003 event log has been archived. ####End of Event Log for MC1###
