Status: Active - OperationalGeneral Operational Period: Year Round
Start Date: 11/29/2017 12:00 AM
Penticton Channel, is the channelized portion of the Okanagan River connecting Okanagan Lake with Skaha Lake, within the city of Penticton, BC. This represents the upstream most accessible portion of mainstem river for Columbia River anadromous fish.

Configuration
Configuration metadata includes details about the equipment used at the site to detect and record PIT tags. A new configuration sequence record is created when equipment is added or removed from the site and the period of time it was active. A configuration sequence without an End Date is currently active.

| 11/20/2023 12:00:00 AM | SiteUp | |
| 11/7/2023 10:44:00 AM | SiteDown |
Site down due to vandalism of main power cable. Proposed date of recovery November 14th in consideration of electrician availability. |
| 9/7/2023 11:14:00 AM | SiteUp |
Repaired main canbus cable (9 pin to MC connection) and replaced node 01. Entire site (antennas 01, 02, 03) all currently operating |
| 8/19/2023 9:00:00 AM | SiteDown |
Vandalism (cutting) of main canbus cable - entire site currently down. |
| 8/10/2023 3:13:00 PM | SiteUp |
Site up. Replaced main canbus cable, installed spare nodes 03 and 02. 01 is currently not working. Changed node serial numbers for site configuration on MC. Previously, node 03 and 01 were switched (ie. it showed node 03 to be on the left bank although it is located on right bank; and 01 to be on right bank when it should be on left bank, as per site configuration details on PTAGis). |
| 7/14/2023 2:14:00 PM | SiteDown |
Site down due to cable canbus failure and node flooding/failure. |
| 6/5/2023 1:01:00 PM | GMC |
Left bank node (currently incorrectly input as 03) does not have current. Will assess when water is safe for access. |
| 6/2/2023 10:06:00 AM | SiteUp |
Master Controller Fixed - Site now up and running |
| 1/10/2023 8:34:00 PM | SiteDown |
Site Down due to failed Master Controller |

Site down due to Master Controller Failure |
| 8/30/2022 12:00:00 AM | General |
Installed battery switcher - noise reduced as a result. |

Maintenance Check at OKP. Conducted visual inspection. Connections and cords were mostly buried therefore difficult to notice any obvious problems. Also conducted read range test with test tags. Antennas 01 and 02 read tags; antenna 03 did not. When reviewing tag observation over the past year at OKP, it appears that 03 does not consistently send out test tags every hour as with the other antennas (sometimes it did every hour, other times every 2-5 hours). It does appear antenna 03 successfully observed the odd fish. Data indicates the last test tag sent out by antenna 03 was on 06-17-2021 @ 10:40 PM. It also appears the noise at 03 is higher than 01 and 02 (03 is consistently over 50% and 01/02 are consistently under 50%). This could likely be due to being positioned on the right bank, therefore closer proximity to airport and fortis power lines. Antenna 02 current consistently falls below the threshold notification of 7.0 amps and usually stays at 6.8 amps, therefore notification alert changed to 6.8amps for antenna 02. |

Magnetic modem antenna was stolen from outside of box. Replaced antenna with pencil antenna inserted directly into modem on inside of box to avoid future thefts. |
