- routine station / site maintenance
- annual station / site maintenance, including:
- replacement of leaf wetness sensor
- loaded logger program "htc-bbaa"
- annual maintenance, including:
- rewire of atmp/relh (HMP45C) to "continuous" power
- reconnected 2" Soil Temp (SOIL0) sensor
- replaced power supply
- battery voltage has stabilized - continue to monitor
- reactivated data updates
- replaced SC932B interface
- installed solid-state relay
- replacement of 4" soil temperature sensor planned
for 12/20/2014
- disconnected 4" soil temperature (soil1) sensor (possible
source of unintended power draw)
- replaced failed logger battery
- moved data-collection to new LoggerNet server
- loaded logger program "mawn_abcf"
- Replaced anemometer (wind speed)
- Reinstalled all Soil Temperature and Soil Moisture
sensors. Cables were installed inside coduit.
- Relocated precipitation bucket... away from irrigation
influence.
- Installed new 2" Soil Temperature Sensor [SOIL0]
- Installed new transmission cable between modem and
antenna
- Loaded Logger Program - ABCF (hourly collection cycle)
- Battery replacement. Weak battery has led to recent
data loss.
- Loaded Logger Program "ABCW" (3-hour power/collection
cycle) due to battery/power troubles.
- Replaced Logger Battery
- MAWN Program "ABCS" Loaded (30-minte power/collection
cycle).
- Faulty soil temperature and soil moisture that was
recently introduced into the data archive for the
MSUHTRC was removed.
- Replaced Soil Moisture Sensors
- Replaced Soil Temperature Sensors
(Note: troubles continue with soil temp data)
- Replaced wireless broadband modem.
- General station maintenance and system checks, including:
- Tipping-bucket rain gauge test.
- General station maintenance and system checks, including:
- Soil Moisture sensors now installed vertically:
- MSTR 0: profile of depth = 0 - 12"
- MSTR 1: profile of depth = 12 - 24"
- Work was done approx: 1055 - 1115 (Day=157)
- Loaded MAWN Program: MAWN_ABCF (1-hr power cycle) [13:37]
- Station added to MAWN web site.
- Data Collection and Data Archive for new station begins:
First data report: May 03, 2007 - 00:05 (Day=123)
- Established telecommunication between station cell-modem and
data collection PC/server on campus.
- Loaded MAWN Program: MAWN_ABCS
- Now able to collect raw weather data.
Notes:
Additional Station Needs:
- 2nd leaf wetness sensor
