Date Time Who What -------- ----- -------- ----------------------------------------------- 06/17/2004 13:55 Alan This is a test message sent from the ‘legacy’ web interface. It should be deposited in the top-level directory of the RPJ Events forum. 05/13/2004 08:56 Don_Warf Phone lines were suspended until next season. 05/07/2004 15:03 acarson Performed seasonal equipment shutdown on site. Antennas were removed & washed, and placed in the storage room (next to the computer room). Both PC1 & PC2 data were archived into the 2004 data folder. Also noticed that interrogation was on & running when I got there. Last file for 2004 archive data is RPJ04128.E2, E1. Computers were shut down and keypads were stored in the wall locker. 04/22/2004 15:34 Dave I disabled site-checking for RPJ. 04/22/2004 09:57 acarson@ On 4/21/04 13:30 - 15:00 Rapid River hatchery personnel crowded the remaining fish in all ponds through the detections system and lowered the pond levels. At 13:30 4/21/04 Biomark personnel were on site to ensure the detection system was functioning properly. Both ponds were completely emptied by 15:00 and the antennas were removed from the pond. All transceivers were powered down and Minimon interrogation was stopped. Complete removal of the system and storage will be scheduled at a later time. Storage location and antenna repair will also be determined before final site visit. More later…. 04/22/2004 09:29 acarson@ 05:LowLithium: Lithium batteries will be replaced during 2005 install. 04/19/2004 12:00 Alan_Bro Hatchery manager Ralph Steiner reported a power outage occurred at the hatchery 4/18-19/2004, ~12 hours in duration. No files were found on PC1 or PC2 to fill the file gap. The platform is collecting data and has resumed automated uploads. 04/14/2004 07:49 PTOC_Bot Rapid River Monitoring site. Scott L. noticed that there was high noise on coil 02 and Biomark resonded with a visit and determined that the cause of the high noise was from a bad timer tag that was not functioning properly. A stop log or ply wood was installed by hatchery personnel at 14:13:11 on the 4-13-2004 to prevent fish from using coil 02. File number for reference is RPJ04104.E1. Tested all other coils and they were functioning properly at the time of O & M visit. Brian Beckley - Biomark. 04/13/2004 08:23 Scott_Li Coil 02 is not firing the timer tag due to excessive noise within the antenna and or transceiver. Called Biomark to inform them of this. Brett T indicated that they would be on site either today or tomorrow. Hopefully there is not a tag in the field , if so, maybe difficult to remove or even find.... FYI... it appears that TASS is not alerting us to timertag failures from this site.. This problem has been recognized and a request to fix the problem has been submitted in the WEB tools modifications document.. Signal level: 78% 04/07/2004 09:03 PTOC_Bot I performed the weekly site visit yesterday at RPJ. All readers and coils are performing well and required no maintenance. Hatchery personnel estimated that 95% of the fish are already gone. They are talking about pushing the remaining fish out around April 15 or so. I will talk to Ralph or Nicki to pin down the exact date they plan to flush the remaining fish. 04/01/2004 15:31 Dave Using tags stored to the transceiver buffers, and retrieved by Brett Turley, I manually generated RPJ04087.A9 to patch a 34-minute hole in data collection resulting from a power outage just after midnight on March 27. 03/31/2004 14:15 Brett I sppoke with Nikki Johnson from Rapid River hatchery. She said the screens were pulled to allow fish volitional release on 3/15/04 at about 2:00 pm PST. 03/30/2004 18:13 Brett_T. Weekly site visit to RPJ. I checked to make sure the PC's were in the battery backup side of the UPS's and they were. I downloaded the buffers from all eight readers into file RPJ04090.E The readers and antennas were all in good working order and no tuning adjustments were necessary. Files that Dave Marvin asked me to find (RPJ04062.F, RPJ04076.C1 and RPJ04086.H1) did not exist on either computer. I believe they were lost due to a power failure. Also, RPJ04087.A2 is also missing 34 minutes of time. Nikki and Ralph were not present at the hatchery when I was up there, so I could not confirm the exact time that the fish screens were pulled to allow out migration. I will call them tomorrow and I will post it on the event log. 03/29/2004 12:49 Scott_Li The buffered data for all 8 transcievers will be downloaded into the production platforms tomorrow ,3/30 by Biomark. This is necessary to back fill lost data that occured due to a power outage last Friday, 3/26. Verified in the Kennewick lab that Minimon Ver. 1.4.4 does recognize the data as "Buffered" and appends an asterisk * to the record. Instructed Biomark to dump the buffers from each transceiver one at a time, let the Uploader client run it's course, post to Pitevent, the file number that contains the Buffered data and CC Dave Marvin with the file information. Also asked Biomark to ensure that the data collection computers are plugged into Battery Backup rather than Surge on the UPS's. 03/29/2004 10:06 Darren The file gap of 3 hrs. and 34 minures was filled to the best of the PC's abilities with file 04086.H2. This file has a valid close but it appears that the UPS on the PC's ran out some time after midnight and we lost data shortly thereafter. PSMFC is trying to decide the best approach for finding any data that may still be on the transceivers, we will be contacting Biomark to let them know that we may need to download the buffers to compare tag codes for anything that is undetected by the PC's. Scott Livingston confirmed the power outage but we were unable to pinpoint the time. 03/28/2004 08:35 Darren There is a file gap on 3-27-04. The missing file is RPJ04087.H1 I will try to manually retrieve this file later today. If I cannot I will try on Monday morning from the office. The files have been coming on a regular basis since this incident. 03/23/2004 15:45 PTOC_Bot Weekly site visit to RPJ complete. Checked system, tested with stick tags, & verfied that files were uploaded. Brian Beckley, Biomark. 03/17/2004 16:09 acarson@ On 3-15-04 Minimon ver. 1.4.4 was installed on both PC's. Both Rocketport cards were replaced and communication check on all transceivers. No coils needed to be tuned. The screens to release the fish were pulled around 10:00am (mst) on 03/16/04. When arriving on site the overflow antenna assembly was completely out of water while custom stop logs were made to adjust the water flow over the antennas(10:00-2:00). Also, while loading PC1 with the latest Minimon I received many errors (to many to list). All settings were lost and Minimon would not allow me too configure a device. After rebooting the computer didn't fix the problem, Minimon was reinstalled. This fixed the error messages and all settings returned. Minimon did create (2)files, RPJ04075.A & B during rebooting. These files were already in the data folder and therefore created a 6hr data gap. I did not see what happened until after seeing the site status report the next day. I will send in the fill data from PC2 (RPJ04075.O2 - R2) when PC1 was down and have someone get the remaining fill data during the next site visit on 03/23/04. I cut the tags off the ends of the "test Stick". One tag was not working and the other was intermittant. The original tags and the new stick are located in the transceiver enclosure closest to the antennas (Don't laugh it works!). 03/03/2004 08:38 darren@r 06:LowExcCurrent,06:TestTagFailure: These alarms were generated by Biomark who were on site to perform a pre-screen pulling test of the antenna's. the antenna's have been swapped making the overflow the first bank of antenna's that will be passed overand then the underflow. I will contact Brett Turley to get the detailsof the performance. 03/03/2004 07:53 Brett_ Bruce Gaarder and I performed the weekly maintenance at RPJ on 3/2/04. The two issues we addressed were: 1) moving the antenna arrays so the one in front becomes the overflow, and the one in back becomes the underflow. This would essentially create a "point of no return" and help prevent pit-tagged fish from sitting in the antenna fields. We raised the front antenna array, and lowered the back array with the help of hatchery manager Ralph Steiner. 2) Check reader 06 because the current had dropped from 1.9A at install to 1.5A. Also, it was a lot noisier than the other seven readers. We found that by pressing lightly on the resistors on the analog board the current jump around from 1.9A to 1.2A. Bruce removed the analog board from the reader, unsoldered the resistors (a 20 and a 50 ohm), replaced the 50 ohm with a new one from the locker because the leads were broken, and re-soldered the 20 and 50 ohm resistor back onto the board. After I reinstalled the analog board, the reader current went to a steady 1.9A, and the noise went away. So apparently a cold solder joint was causing the problems with reader 06. We will keep an eye on it to monitor any changes. The maintenance started at 10:30 PST and ended at 3:00 PST. According to Ralph Steiner, fish are set to be released volitionally, on March 15. Brett Turley Biomark, Inc. (208) 275-0011 brettt@biomark.com 02/27/2004 08:07 darren@r 06:Overrun: This transceiver is going to be addressed on Monday when the facility is visited for testing prior to the screens being pulled. The screens are scheduled to pulled on 3-15-04. 02/24/2004 08:03 darren@r 06:Overrun,06:TestTagFailure: This site will be visited by Biomark to be tested before the screens are pulled. This transceiver will be addressed during the testing. 02/23/2004 08:41 darren@r 06:TestTagFailure: This site will be visited by Biomark within the next couple of weeks for testing. I have informed Anthony Carson of this particular coil/antenna and it will be looked at when they are onsite. 02/22/2004 08:55 darren@r 06:Overrun,06:TestTagFailure: This transceiver will be addressed on the next site visit. It appears to be slightly out of tune. 02/16/2004 08:39 acarson@ 06:Overrun,06:TestTagFailure: A site visit is in the process of being scheduled to determine if the alarms are a minor issue or if the antenna assembly will require removal. More later......... 02/01/2004 10:07 troy@ree 05:LowLithium,06:BadOscFreq: Battery was replaced and alarms were caused by PTOC personnel 01/29/2004 12:36 Dave I enabled file checking for RPJ in the etc/sites file. The record is currently configured to send alerts to "sitemaint@psmfc.org" and "biomark_sitemaint@psmfc.org". 01/29/2004 08:34 scott The pittag room has been renovation has been completed, antennaes and trancsceivers mounted,tuned and tested. Just as last year, an overflow antenna is being utilized in place of the underflow antenna due to better reading efficiency and reliablity. Transceiver buffers have been erased, 2003 data has been archived on PC1 and PC2, system clocks have been syncronized and internet connection to PTAGIS was verified. Dave, Please turn ON "File Submission Checking " for RPJ. 01/01/2004 12:02 Dave Initialized new event log for 2004. 2003 event log has been archived. ####End of Event Log for RPJ###
