EVENT LOG FOR SITE PRO The first line of each entry contains a date/time stamp & who is reporting. The most recent entry is listed first. Date Time Who ---------- ----- -------- 01/18/2007 16:55 Dave Per Yakama Nation biologist Todd Newsome, the denil sampler in the right bank ladder at Prosser was in operation from Sept. 25 - Nov. 8, Nov. 13 - Nov. 21, and Nov. 27 - Dec. 5, 2006. The denil bypasses the counting window in the right bank ladder. Therefore, fish were effectively diverted around the right bank ladder PIT tag antennas (05 and 06) during these intervals. 12/18/2006 07:18 troy@ree 06:BadOscFreq: This alarm will be looked into on the next site visit. 12/15/2006 07:59 Alan Transceiver 04 was showing "Unknown Communication" errors on both PCs. Minimon was bounced on both PCs to restore communications. PTAGIS Field Operations will continue to monitor. 12/13/2006 07:17 alan@ree 01:LowExcCurrent,04:TestTagFailure,06:LowExcCurrent: These alarms were generated by PTAGIS Field Operations personnel during a site visit. 12/12/2006 12:17 Alan A GMC was performed 12/12/2006. All transceivers were checked and tuned as necessary. The center ladder and JFF are currently de-watered. The sample monitor was brought back online. The clocks on both PCs were set to within one second of atomic time. Upon arrival, both PCs were showing "Unknown Communication" errors from transceiver 03. Minimon was bounced on both PCs to clear the error. No other problems found. 12/07/2006 08:10 troy@ree A3:Overrun: These alarms will be looked into on the next site visit. This part of the site is currently down. 11/28/2006 08:39 Troy This site is experiencing network problems. PC1 was verified to be collecting data but the network connection is such that I cannot push any files. PSMFC will monitor to see if the problem corrects it's self and will investigate further if the problem persists. 11/19/2006 08:39 darren@r 01:TestTagFailure: Alarm has been noted. 11/17/2006 15:27 PTOC_Bot In an e-mail received on 11/15/06, Mark Johnston of the Yakama Nation noted that they have been operating the "steep pass" on the right bank ladder, and this route bypasses the PIT tag detectors (05 and 06). Mark did not indicate how long the PIT tag detectors had been bypassed, or how much longer fish would be routed through the steep pass. 11/16/2006 07:42 darren@r 04:LowExcCurrent: Although this system has been put back in after the flodding there is very little water passing through this ladder. We have aske the site biologist to let us know if we should consider this ladder open for fish passage but have not received a response as of yet. We will post the response when it is received. 11/15/2006 14:25 Alan The pittag equipment for the left and center ladders was re-installed today. The center ladder came online at 11:45 am 11/15/06 and the left ladder came online at 1:30 pm 11/15/06. All systems were tuned. The left ladder is experiencing high noise due to high volumes of water and plugged trash racks. This was verified by briefly shutting down the ladder and the noise went away. The center ladder tuned up nicely but has very little water flowing through it. The right ladder was tuned but is experiencing noise due to plugged trash racks. Communications was verified. 03 was showing up as 'unknown message' on PC2. Minimon was shut down and re-started to solve the problem. No other problems were found. 11/09/2006 07:29 darren@r 01:TestTagFailure: Old alarm. The detection systems on the left bank ladder (01,02) and the center ladder (03,04) have been removed because of flooding. 11/08/2006 07:17 Darren PSMFC was informed yesterday by Richard Corkins (BOR) that the left bank and center ladders were possibly going to flood by 6 a.m. this morning and a joint decision was made by BOR, YIN and Site Biologist Mark Johnstone to pull all of the electronic equipment in both ladders. The equipment was removed starting with the left bank ladder at about 14:30 yesterday. The equipment will be placed in the PITtag Data Collection room at the juvenile facility. The equipment could be out of commission as long as a month according to BOR personnel. PSMFC will be informed as to the status of this situation and will maintain the event log as to when the systems will placed back into operation. 11/05/2006 08:30 alan@ruf 03:TestTagFailure: Noted 11/04/2006 08:05 alan@ruf 01:TestTagFailure: This alarm will be investigated on the next site visit. 11/03/2006 08:22 alan@ruf 01:TestTagFailure: Noted 11/02/2006 08:45 troy@ruf 01:TestTagFailure,03:TestTagFailure: Noted. 10/27/2006 08:47 troy@ruf 03:TestTagFailure: The center ladder is de-watered which is causing this alarm. 10/25/2006 08:08 Alan_Bro This is being reposted as the original posting yesterday didn't make it to the event logs: All primary data collection computers auto upload functions were re-engaged at 12:43 PST. Delinquent files were not manually pushed to PTAGIS. The uploader will submit files in the next 3 hrs. 10/25/2006 07:35 troy@ruf A1:Overrun,A2:Overrun,A3:Overrun: These alarms are not of concern at this time and are most likely the result of construction at this site. 10/25/2006 07:34 troy@ruf 03:TestTagFailure: These alarms will be looked into on the next site visit. 10/24/2006 09:45 Alan_Bro Automated file loading has been disabled. 10/23/2006 16:29 Alan_Bro Site has been verified online, PTAGIS Field Operations will continue to monitor. -----Original Message----- From: pittag@psmfc.org [mailto:pittag@psmfc.org] Sent: Monday, October 23, 2006 1:17 PM To: sitemaint@psmfc.org Subject: Problems with remote data sites...

Apparently a comms issue is occurring. PTAGIS Field Operations is working on a solution. 10/02/2006 07:59 Alan Exited and re-instantiated Minimon on both PCs to re-establish communications with transceiver 03. No fish data was lost as the ladder was dewatered during the time communications were down. 09/24/2006 10:13 troy@ruf A2:BadOscFreq: This will be looked into on the next site visit. 09/16/2006 08:14 alan@ruf 04:TestTagFailure: This detection system is currently de-watered.

PSMFC is monitoring the alarms and will address this system when it is back in operation. 09/05/2006 14:01 Alan A GMC was performed 9/5/2006. The left and right ladders were tuned. The center ladder and JFF are de-watered. No problems found. 09/05/2006 08:05 darren@r 04:TestTagFailure: Alarm has been noted. The system is currently de- watered. 08/28/2006 15:16 Alan I traveled to the site to determine cause of the communicatiom failures. Upon arrival I found no problems. I re-booted the modem, router and both PCs anyway and Dave verified remote access. File PRO06240.P2 was uploaded manually from PC2 to fill the gap during PC1s downtime. 08/28/2006 13:30 Alan_Bro Both PCs have been verified operational; the lack of data problem appears to be with the ISP. PTAGIS Field Operations is looking into the problem. 08/28/2006 07:57 alan@ruf 04:TestTagFailure: The ladder is currently de-watered. 08/25/2006 08:45 dlwarf@r A2:BadOscFreq: Noted. 08/22/2006 07:28 darren@r 04:TestTagFailure: The detection system is currently de-watered and will remain this way until late Nov. or early Dec. The BOR will let us know when the middle ladder will be watered up. 08/21/2006 08:01 darren@r 01:TestTagFailure,04:TestTagFailure: Alarms will be addressed on the next site visit. The middle ladder has been closed down for the summer and will not be in operation until Nov. or Dec. the BOR will let us know when that will happen. 08/18/2006 11:37 dlwarf@r 04:TestTagFailure,51:BadExcFreq,51:BadOscFreq,51:LowExcCurrent,51:TestTagF ailure,52:BadExcFreq,52:BadOscFreq,52:LowExcCurrent,52:TestTagFailure: Alarms cause by remodeling of wet lab. 08/17/2006 11:31 Troy The fiber for 51 and 52 was re-terminated today. Communications to the platform where tested. The power was then tagged out until the flex from the transceiver enclosure to the antenna's can be put in place. BOR has stated that this will be done the first week of December which at that time the antenna's can be hooked back up and tuned along with the TT cables. 08/16/2006 07:15 scottl@r 04:TestTagFailure: The ladder is detwatered until further notice. Alarms for this section of the system will not be acknowledged until necessary. 08/14/2006 07:31 scottl@r 04:TestTagFailure: TT errors will be investigated on the next site visit. 08/11/2006 08:21 dlwarf@r 04:TestTagFailure: Middle ladder is dewatered. 08/10/2006 17:19 Alan A GMC was performed 8/10/2006. The left and right bank ladders were tuned. All other transceivers are out of use as the JFF is shut down for the remodel. The center ladder is de-watered. According to a note (taped to the BOR center ladder VCR) the ladder watered down July 6 and will remain down until further notice. No problems found. 08/10/2006 17:08 Alan_Bro The BOR inadvertently removed power from the PIT Tag room from approximately 11:00 to 13:30 hours today. Data on PC2 could fill the first hour of the gap. File PRO06222.J2 was submitted manually via PCA from PC2. No further data exist to fill the remaining gap. 08/10/2006 07:56 alan@ree 01:TestTagFailure: No apparent reason for this alarm. PTAGIS Field Operations will continue to monitor. 08/06/2006 09:11 troy@ree 04:TestTagFailure: Noted. 08/03/2006 07:25 troy@ree A3:TestTagFailure: Noted. 08/02/2006 09:26 troy@ree 04:TestTagFailure: Noted 08/01/2006 14:44 Darren A site GMC was performed today (8-1-06). All operational transceivers were checked for tuning, noise, and detection ability. The clocks on both PC's were adjusted to 1 second of atomic time and one second of each other. The center ladder has been closed down since July 6th and after speaking with the BOR personnel it was stated that the ladder will remain this way until around the 3rd week of September. The construction at the JFF is to be completed by December 1st of 2006. 08/01/2006 07:21 darren@r 04:TestTagFailure: Alarm will be addressed today during a site GMC. 07/25/2006 10:17 troy@ruf 02:HighTemp: This alarm is not uncommon for this time of year due to the high temperatures. 07/21/2006 09:37 scottl@r A2:BadOscFreq,A3:BadOscFreq: Alarms are not of concern, the juvenile bypass system is down for the year and under construction. 07/19/2006 09:04 darren@r 02:Overrun: Alarm will be addressed on the next site visit. It could be due to the system de-tuning and has not occurred since 7-18-06 at 13:10. 07/18/2006 17:19 Scott_Li Corkey from the BOR called to inform us that a car had hit a power pole and knocked out power to the right bank ladder. The outage will last from 12:30 to 4:30 pst or or until the repair is complete. Will follow up in the morning of the 19th and post information that is more accurate. 07/18/2006 11:09 Dave Re-activated auto-upload on PC1 and transferred all outstanding files. Archived all outstanding files on PC2. PC clocks are within 1 second of each other and 71 seconds of atomic time. 07/17/2006 15:09 PTOC_Bot The auto upload process was disengaged until further notice due to the scheduled outage of the central database. The sites will not upload files until possibly Monday the 17th or 18th or when the central database resumes normal operations.. 07/14/2006 09:12 alan@ruf 04:TestTagFailure: The ladder is currently de-watered. 07/13/2006 12:30 Alan A GMC was performed 7/13/2006. Transceivers 01, 02, 05 and 06 were tuned. The center ladder is currently de-watered as is the JFF. No problems found. 07/12/2006 15:17 Troy Power was returned at ~2:05 PST. All systems are running correctly. The juvnile system is down and has been down since Sat 07/08/06. A status dump was performed on each transceiver to ensure 2 way communications. The power is temporarily routed to a new location and will have to be moved at some point during the Educational Center construction. BOR will hopefully notify PSMFC when this is to take place. By all the information I was giving it will most likely be later in the fall when this happens. 51 and 52 need to be moved from their current location. I will shut these down and pull the exciter cables out so the the BOR can move they system in the next day or two. Someone from PSMFC will be on site tomorrow 7/13/06 to check on the progress of this. 07/12/2006 14:49 Troy The BOR is in the process of building a educational center. Part of the process involves removing the ciruit breaker panel that feeds the pittag room. Consiquently the power has to be move which will involve shutting down the power to the pittag room. The platform is going to be shut down at 1:50 PST. Another pitevent will be posted when power is back up. The current files will be submitted prior to power outage. 07/05/2006 14:55 scottl Excessive noise levels on coil 04 are due to clogged trash racks. In this state, the noise cannot be tuned out of the system. Will inform Mark J. of the problem and find out when the next cleaning cycle will be by the BOR. Transceiver 03 was not communicating with PC2 at the time of arrival. The same error " Unknown communications protocol" was again the error. This problem has shifted from PC1. Will consult with the rest of the crew and try and identify what has been done in the past to try and correct this issue.Will pursue this further when time permits. Restarted the Minimon application to clear error, system back online and operating without errors. 07/03/2006 08:23 Darren_C I PCA'd into the site and restarted the Minimon application to reestablish communications with radio modem 03. A communications error #1 was being reported. PSMFC is monitoring this facility for radio comms and taking actions when there is any kind of failures. 06/29/2006 07:43 darren@r 04:BadOscFreq: This alarm will be addressed on the next site visit. 06/27/2006 07:58 darren@r A2:BadOscFreq: Alarms will be addressed during a site GMC today. 06/22/2006 07:13 scottl@r 06:LowExcCurrent: Alarm due to de-watering of the ladder during GMC 06/21/2006 17:08 Troy At the site to investigate why there was excessive noise on 05 and 06. Upon arrival I was not able to tune out the noise. The trash racks appeared to be fairly clear. Mike from the Bureau of Reclamation showed up to check on the camera equipment. I asked him if he could de-water the ladder for me. Once the ladder was de-watered the noise spikes went away. He gave me permission to water and de-water as needed so I watered the ladder back up and the noise was less but still high. I tried cleaning the trash rack just prior to the entrance of 05. I had to de- water again to get the lower half. When I watered the ladder back up the noise was much better but still spiking into the 20's on occasion on 05. In conclussion the vibration caused by the trash racks appears to have a significant effect on 05 and 06. 06/21/2006 10:43 Troy Corky for the Bureau of Reclamation reported that power will be off to all three ladders due to a house needing to me moved across the bridge. The move is to start around 9 am on 6/22/06, so power will be shut off around that time so the PUD can lower the power lines across the road. He is unsure when the power will be return. PSMFC will monitor the site to ensure that all equipment returns to normal operation once power is restored. 06/21/2006 09:03 troy@ruf 01:TestTagFailure: Noted. 06/20/2006 15:05 Alan A GMC was performed 6/20/2006. All transceivers were checked and tuned as necessary. The separator and sample monitors were stick tested with 10 sticks each, results following: A1 10/10 A2 10/10 A3 10/10 51 10/10 52 10/10 Transceivers 05 and 06 are showing noise into the 40s due to accumulations in the trash racks. The clocks on both PCs were adjusted to within one second of atomic time. No other problems found. 06/15/2006 09:34 Darren_C PSMFC was on site yesterday to investigate a communications problem with antenna 03. The problem that was discovered last Thursday was that communications from the transceiver were fine but we could not send commends to the transceiver from the platform. Troy and I investigated all hardware in the JFF and found that the signal was getting to the modem in the JFF. I went out to the ladder and could not get any indication that the F.O. modem was receiving any incoming data. I checked the modem and the fiber jumper but still no communications. I could see that the radio modem was receiving the command from the platform but not to the F.O. modem. I checked the RS-232 cable and found no problems. I then checked the radio configurations and found that the RF Xmit power had some how been set to 0. I tried to reprogram the modem through the diagnostics port but was unable to communicate with the modem. I then attached an RS-232 cable to the modem and was able to reprogram the Xmit power to 5. This enabled the modem to listen to the master. I am not sure how this setting was changed but we will monitor for future failures of this nature. Darren R. Chase PSMFC Systems Engineer (509) 735-2773 ext.3 darren@psmfc.org 06/14/2006 07:47 troy@ree 03:LowExcCurrent: This will be looked into today during a scheduled GMC. 06/11/2006 09:17 alan@ree 03:LowExcCurrent: This transceiver is experiencing some noise, most likely due to an accumulation in the trash rack. PTAGIS Field Operations will continue to monitor. 06/10/2006 09:20 alan@ree 03:LowExcCurrent: This transceiver is experiencing some noise, most likely due to an accumulation in the trash rack. PTAGIS Field Operations will continue to monitor. 06/09/2006 08:27 alan@ree 03:LowExcCurrent: This Antenna is experiencing turbulence due to an accumulation in the trash rack. This transceiver is reading PIT Tags and timer tags with high efficiency. PTAGIS Field Operations will continue to monitor. 06/08/2006 07:47 alan@ree 03:LowExcCurrent: This Antenna is experiencing turbulence due to an accumulation in the trash rack. PTAGIS Field Operations will continue to monitor. 06/07/2006 12:44 Alan A GMC was performed 6/7/2006. All transceivers were checked and tuned as necessary. Transceiver 03 is showing noise rolling between single digits and 40s due to trash rack accumulations. Antennas 05 and 06 are still submerged but operating well. The Freewave modem in the PIT Tag room for transceiver 04 ceased operation and was replaced. It was also discovered that communications wih transceiver 03 is monodirectional (transceiver to platform). This will be remedied when time allows. The JFF watered up around 9:30 AM PDT 5/31/2006. It de-watered again today at approximatly 11:45 for maintenance at the canal. It is expected to be back in service this afternoon. No other problems found. 06/01/2006 13:06 Darren After loading Minimon 1.4.7 the site was unable to load. Minimon ver 1.4.4 was re-installed and as a result the files from PC2 were submitted to PTAGIS. The Baud rate for the radio modems on antenna 03 were changed to 57600 to test an ongoing situation with the communications on this antenna. The baud rate change however did not work as expected so the baud rate was changed back to 115200 at both ends. Communications were verified on both PC1 and PC2. The first complete file without errors for antenna 03 is PRO06152.M1. 05/31/2006 12:31 scottl Upgraded Minimon on PC1 only from 1.4.4 to 1.4.7. The purpose of this upgrade is for troubleshooting and evaluation only. No fish detections were observed on PC2 while the upgrade was taking place. The JFF watered up this morning at 0910 hrs. A GMC was performed , no stick tests was conducted due to work being done in the holding tanks. No problems to report 05/26/2006 08:51 darren@r 01:LowExcCurrent: This transceiver was installed after the flood in the Pit. The alarm was a result of the re-installation. 05/25/2006 14:40 Scott_Li The Left Bank ladder watered up today around 0800 hrs. PIT tag equipment was reinstalled and back online at ~11:00 hrs today. After installation of equipment, found a faulty fiber optic modem for transceiver 01 in the communications cabinet located in the pit. (Modem was transmitting garbage during status dumps). Replaced modem and tested OK. Another note, the water levels in the Yakima River are extremely high and there is a distinct possibility of flooding the PITs at each of the ladders. The PIT tag antennas on the left bank are completely submerged in water but this should not impact the detection efficiency of the system. 05/24/2006 12:41 Scott_Li FYI... The Left Bank ladder is currently dewatered and will remain this way until PIT gear is reinstalled tomorrow. 05/24/2006 12:35 Scott_Li Per Mark Johnston and Corkey, the PIT tag equipment will be reinstalled in the Left Bank ladder tomorrow, May 25th sometime in the AM. At this point PTAGIS personnel will facilitate the install, tune and calibrate the instrument and verify communications. 05/23/2006 16:46 Alan A GMC was performed 5/23/2006. All but two transceivers were checked and tuned as necessary. The unusually high water levels in the river as well as an as yet to be found leak have caused flooding (waist deep)in the vault for the left bank ladder. Transceivers 01 and 02 are in a cabinet in the JFF along with the UPSs and communications electronics. They were moved there 5/19/2006 by Corky (BOR Electrician) to get them out of harm's way. He also moved the electronics from the center ladder at the same time as a precaution. The center ladder was deemed safe and the interrogation electronics were re-installed and brought back online at ~14:30 PST. Transceivers 03 and 04 are showing the usual "single digit to 40's" noise due to turbulance. The BOR is currently working to get the left bank vault useable again as the video recording equipment is also removed. The JFF is still de-watered and will remain that way until the river subsides ("about a week" - BOR estimate). The transceivers were tuned but no sticks were thrown. Corky has installed Leviton 6287 line filters in both the upper and lower fluorecent light arrays on the right bank ladder. Currently the noise is in the low single digits, and with the arrays turned on, no additional noise was noticed. The arrays are currently operating and will be monitored for any adverse effects. Corky is our contact if problems arise. 05/22/2006 08:28 Scott_Li Latest word from Mark Johnston is the river levels are starting to subside. BOR personnel removed all instrumentation from the Center and Left bank ladders due to the expected flooding. BOE will be pumping out the equipment rooms tomorrow and reinstalling PIT gear at that time. Mark J will keep us informed of the situation. 05/21/2006 09:52 troy This site is still with out equipment due to flooding. If conditions are ok on Monday 5/22/06 the equipment will most likely be re-installed then. 05/20/2006 09:41 troy@ruf 02:Overrun: This site is sustaining flooding. More on this next week when the equipment that was removed is re-installed. 05/19/2006 08:09 Troy 04 current alarm threshold was lowered from 4300mA to 4000mA due to low current alarms. The tuning will be checked out on the next site visit and adjustments made if necessary. 05/19/2006 07:38 troy@ruf 04:LowExcCurrent: This antenna is currently operating at 4.3A and the low current alarm threshold is set at 4.3A. Adjustments will be made via PCA to the low current alarm threshold. 05/18/2006 08:18 scottl@r 04:LowExcCurrent: Noted 05/15/2006 14:26 Darren A site GMC was performed today (5-15-06). All the transceivers were checked for tuning, noise, and detection ability.No problems were found. The ladder picketed leads appear to have been cleaned recently. The picketed leads for each ladder appear to have been cleaned recently and the flourescent lights on the Right Bank ladder were not operating. PSMFC is going to try and coordinate with the BOR to run a test of the lights when time allows. 05/14/2006 10:40 Alan The platform has been verified as collecting data. PCA connections are tenuous at best. PTAGIS Field Operations will submit the outstanding files when time allows. 05/13/2006 13:41 Alan_Bro PRO and JDJ have been verified as collecting data. PCA connections are tenuous at best. PTAGIS Field Operations is working to restore automated uploading. JCJ is de-watered and out of operation. ________________________________ From: pittag@psmfc.org [mailto:pittag@psmfc.org] Sent: Sat 5/13/2006 1:15 PM To: sitemaint@psmfc.org Subject: Problems with remote data sites...

Peak Noise levels on antenna 06 are at a constant 60 to 70 percent and cannot be tuned out. Left and Center ladder trash racks could also used a good cleaning. Water levels in the river have returned to somewhat normal, antennas are no longer submerged as in the recent past. One issue noticed on the Right bank ladder was that a scab piece of plywood was attached to the counting window back board. This was presumably done to steer fish closer to the counting window for better video of fish passing by. Well this is all good but debris is accumulating on the upstream edge and causing an extreme amount of turbulence in the water column passing through the antennas. Also noticed the video back board on the Center ladder had popped out of the guide rails due to excessive water pressure again, due to debris build up. Will call Mark Johnston of the YIN and inform him of the situation. Reviewed the MiniMon log on both PC's due to the phenom of transceiver 03 periodically not reporting any information for a ~ 3hr period of time. Found the same message as in the past, "Unknown Communications errors" on PC1 only. PC2 did not display this error and received correct information from the transceiver. As a test, I changed 03's position on the RP expansion chassis from com 10 to com 18 on PC1 only. We are still in the process of determining the root cause of this problem. The com port change over took place at 12:00 PM 5/9/06. 05/02/2006 08:54 Alan_Bro Manually pushed PRO06122.B1 to PTAGIS via PCA. 05/01/2006 12:38 Darren A site GMC was performed today (5-1-06). When i arrived I found that the facility (JFF) was flooded after speaking with site personnel i found out that the facility had flooded around 01:00 on 4-30-06 this is due to the river level being high and back filling the drain pipes. No indication when the facility will be bakc in operation. I set the file generation intervals on PC2 to every hour so we will have 24 files per day on PC2. I will inspect the ladders and report any problems that are encountered but from the reports that were checked this morning no problems were indicated. I will check tuning, noise and detectability. 04/26/2006 09:37 Alan_Bro Both instances of MiniMon were stopped, exited and re-started at approximately 8:30 PST 4/26/2006 to re-establish communications to transceiver 03. Data gaps will be patched ASAP. 04/25/2006 08:18 darren@r 01:LowExcCurrent: Alarm was generated by PSMFC personnel while performing site maintenance. 04/24/2006 15:29 Alan A GMC was performed 4/24/2006. All transceivers were checked and tuned as necessary. The separator and sample monitors were stick tested with 20 sticks each, results following: A1 20/20 A2 20/20 A3 20/20 51 20/20 52 20/20 Transceivers 01, 02, 04 and 06 are showing noise from single digits to the 40s due to accumulations in the trash racks. Antenna 01 has driftwood and other stream-delivered debris on the top side suggesting that the water levels had been higher at one time. The min and max packet sizes were decreased to 7 on both Freewave modems for transceiver 01 in an effort to improve communications. The clocks on both PCs were adjusted to within one second of atomic time. No other problems found. 04/18/2006 12:13 Darren An addition to the previous update. There was no PITtag detection for antenna 02 during the period of time that the radio modem was not powered yesterday. 04/18/2006 11:45 Darren The site was re-visited this morning because it was realized that the radio modem for antenna 01 had been un powered since yesterday at around 15:00pst. While on site the F.O. modem attached to the radio modem for antenna 03 was replaced. A new file was created to capture all the counts for the timer tag from that point forward. 04/18/2006 09:18 Darren_C The site was visited yesterday to try and determine what was causing some communication anomalies that were noticed by PSMFC yesterday. I replaced the F.O. modem in the modem nest, the RS-232 cable from the modem to the F.O. modem in the radio cabinet and the fiber jumper between the two F.O. modems. The F.O. modem will be replaced on Friday in an attempt to find the problem with communications to antenna 03. 04/18/2006 08:45 Darren_C The site was visited yesterday to try and determine what was causing some communication anomalies that were noticed by PSMFC yesterday. I replaced the F.O. modem in the modem nest, the RS-232 cable from the modem to the F.O. modem in the radio cabinet and the fiber jumper between the two F.O. modems. The F.O. modem will be replaced on Friday in an attempt to find the problem with communications to antenna 03. 04/16/2006 11:36 Troy This site appears to be having noise issues most likely due to plugged trash racks. O2 is the worst but still reading fish. The radio report shows 03 to be dropping transmissions but is performing well in the Timer Tag report. This issue will be looked into further in the coming days. 04/15/2006 09:25 troy@ruf 01:TestTagFailure: Noted 04/14/2006 08:07 Alan_Bro A GMC was performed 4/13/2006. All transceivers were checked and tuned as necessary. Transceivers 04 and 06 are showing noise into the 40s due to accumulations in the picketed leads. 20 sticks were thrown on the separator, results following: A1 20/20 A2 19/20 A3 19/20 The expansion chassis for PC1's Rocket Port and the Y-cable for transceiver 03 were replaced to determine the cause of some communications failures. Files on PC2 will be examined to determine if any pertinent data were missed. No other problems found. 04/10/2006 08:51 Dave A "NET-ANOM" error was generated for file PRO06096.H1, due to a garbled INFO record that contained high ASCII characters. I edited the file, commenting out the offending record, and documented the change. I also created an 'original' version of the data file, and installed it on the file server. I manually deleted the NET-ANOM error file. I updated the fd_file and fd_submit tables to reflect an 'attmpt_state' of "LOADED". And, as it is possible that the garbled data were the result of an anomaly in the radio modem at PRO, I am posting this event log to document and track this issue. 04/06/2006 12:19 Alan_Bro A GMC was performed 4/6/2006. All transceivers were checked and tuned as necessary. The separator and sample monitors were stick tested with 20 sticks each, results following: A1 20/20 A2 20/20 A3 20/20 51 20/20 52 20/20 The clocks on both PCs were adjusted to within one second of atomic time. Debris accumulations in the right ladder and center ladder downstream trash racks are creating noise for transceivers 04 and 06 from single digits into the low 40s. The left ladder is currently de-watered. No other problems found. 03/23/2006 14:51 Alan_Bro A GMC was performed 3/23/2006. All transceivers were checked and tuned as necessary. The separator and sample monitors were stick tested with 20 sticks each, results following: A1 20/20 A2 20/20 A3 20/20 51 20/20 52 20/20 Transceiver 04 is showing noise from single digits into the 40's due to turbulence created by an accumulation in the trash rack. The Rocket Port card in PC1 was replaced due to inconsistent performance on COM10 (RocketPort 8). PRO06082.F2 was uploaded manually from PC2 to fill the gap created during PC1's downtime. The clocks on both PCs were adjusted to within one second of atomic time. No other problems found. 03/12/2006 09:38 troy@ruf A3:BadOscFreq: This will be addressed on the next site visit. 03/09/2006 11:02 Alan A GMC was performed 3/9/2007. All transceivers were checked and tuned as necessary. The separator and sample monitors were stick tested with 20 sticks each, results following: A1 20/20 A2 20/20 A3 20/20 51 20/20 52 20/20 The clocks on both PCs were adjusted to within one second of atomic time. Arrays of fluorescent lights have been installed above and below the counting window at the right bank. Testing shows that these have increased the average signal level by ~3% on both transceivers 05 and 06. No other problems found. 02/28/2006 08:11 dlwarf@r 52:LowLithium: Battery was changed. 02/27/2006 10:05 Alan A GMC was performed 2/27/2007. All transceivers were tuned. The separator and sample monitors were stick tested with 20 sticks each, results following: A1 20/20 A2 20/20 A3 19/20 51 20/20 52 20/20 The clocks on both PCs were adjusted to within one second of atomic time. Transceiver 04 is showing noise from single digits to low 40's due to the accumulation in the trash rack. The Lithium battery was changed on transceiver 52. No other problems found. 02/19/2006 09:57 dlwarf@r 52:LowLithium: To be addressed on the next GMC. 02/17/2006 12:55 Alan_Bro Site personnel report a power outage from ~3:30 to ~6:00 2-17-2006. No data exist on either PC to fill the 02:38:00 data gap. 02/15/2006 08:37 troy@ruf 52:LowLithium: This will be addressed on the next site visit. 02/14/2006 08:43 troy@ruf 52:LowLithium: This battery will be replaced on the next site visit. 02/13/2006 08:36 scottl@r 52:LowLithium: Batteries on all transcievers in the monitoring facility should be replaced, not just xcvr 52. The batteries are reaching the end of their life span. 02/08/2006 08:31 darren@r 04:BadOscFreq: Alarm will investigated on the next site visit. 02/06/2006 09:17 Alan_Bro Site personnel report a power event at the JFF the morning of 2/4/2006. Both PCs were checked but no data were found to fill the file gap from 9:00 to 11:15. Manually pushed PRO06035.G1 through PRO06037.B1 to PTAGIS via PCA. PRO06037.C1 was uploaded automatically. 02/05/2006 09:16 Troy This site has not loaded yet today. Attempts to PCA in have not been successful. Will wait to see if this site submits files later on today. It is suspected there is a problem with DSL sites as I'm unable to PCA into any DSL site. 02/03/2006 18:25 Troy When I returned to the office tonight I was unable to PCA into PRO. It looks as if the problem is on Portlands end. A pit event with the sites affected will follow this posting. 02/03/2006 17:40 Troy In response to files not loading; attempts to PCA into PC1 and PC2 were not successful. Traveled to site to find everything looking to be normal. Internet connectivity was good on the all three machines. Rebooted PC1 and used pro06034.g2 to fill the gap. Then pushed the delinquint files manually. Pushed pro06034.g2 manually and rebooted PC2. Will monitor for future problems and will attempt to PCA in when I get back to the office tonight. 02/02/2006 09:25 Scott_Li Went to site to troubleshoot communications problems with unit 03. This unit had been displaying " Unknown Communication failures" in the data file. After a brief evaluation, the problem lied on Port 10 of the rocket port expansion chassis. Bottom line fix here was by stopping and starting the Minimon application cleared the error and normal communication resumed. No information was given or existed as to the root cause of the comms failure. We have seen the phenomenon in the past at other sites and the conclusion was the same. Will monitor for future occurrences. 01/12/2006 09:53 darren@r 02:Overrun: Alarm will be addressed during the next site visit. 01/10/2006 14:33 Alan_Bro PRO06007.E9 was created from PRO06007.E2 from PC2 to fill a gap left by last weekend's events. PRO06006.H1.TMP and PRO06006.H2.TMP had no data to fill the 00:56:00 file gap on 01/06/2006. 01/09/2006 11:10 Troy A site GMC was performed 1/9/2006. All transceivers were checked for tune. Could not tune out the noise at 01 and 02. The water level is too high to tell if the trash racks are plugged or not. There is about a 4 inch difference in water level between 01 and 02. The water levels and velocities were lower on the right and center level and so were the noise levels. 20 stick were thrown and all 20 were detected on A1,A2 and A3. No other problems were found. Created 2005 Data directories on PC1 and PC2. Moved all 2005 data from the data and archive directories into 2055 Data. 01/09/2006 09:35 Troy Responding to lack of files loading at this site is was found that Minimon was stopped on PC1. Rebooted PC1 and started a new file on PC2. PC2's files PRO06007.F2-PRO06009.D2 were manually pushed to fill the gap. PRO06009.A1 should be the file after PRO06009.D2. 01/09/2006 09:28 Darren_C Mark Johnstone called this morning to report that the Juvenile facility started passing fish over the separator yesterday (1-8-06) at around 09:00. The facility is monitoring for the 06' migration year. Darren R. Chase PSMFC Systems Engineer (509) 735-2773 ext.3 darren@psmfc.org 01/08/2006 10:50 Don_Warf Site has failed to load since Saturday evening. PCA connection attemps were unsucessful. Site will be visited tomorrow morning. 01/07/2006 17:27 Don_Warf Site stopped submitting files Friday night. Attempts to connect to the site via PCA were unsuccessful. Traveled to site and found both PCs collecting data, but had no web connectivity. Rebooted DSL modem to re-establish connectivity. Manually submitted late files. Water is in the facility but is not running across the separator. Checked to see that the juvenile transceivers were in scan mode before leaving site. 01/06/2006 08:35 darren@r 01:LowExcCurrent,01:Overrun,01:TestTagFailure: Site was visited for a site GMC on Tuesday 1-3-06. 01/03/2006 15:53 Darren_C PSMFC staff was alerted today of a problem with communications from transceivers 04 (Center Ladder) and 06 (Right Bank Ladder). When we arrived we found that the radio modem for transceiver 04 had somehow got into a test mode and was not communicating, the modem was reset and communications were re-established. The link for the master and slave on transceiver 06 had been broken and through extensive testing it was determined that the modem in the PITtag room had failed. The modem was replaced and communications were tested. The modem will sent back to Mark Johnstone to be shipped back to Freewave so it can be repaired or replaced. There was no apparent reason for this failure. Darren R. Chase PSMFC Systems Engineer (509) 735-2773 ext.3 darren@psmfc.org 01/01/2006 09:20 troy@ruf 01:TestTagFailure: These failures are due to either a shift in tune due to a possible change in water temp or plugged trash racks. This will be addressed on the next site visit. 01/01/2006 00:00 PTOC_Bot Annual log file initiation for PRO #### End of Event Log for PRO ###
