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.

1/12/2024 3:30:00 PM SiteDown

Site lost power due to downed power line near the site.  

8/2/2023 12:00:00 AM General

Replaced nodes for antennas A3, A6, and A9.  Antennas A3 and A6 are operating but at a low amperage.  Clearly antennas A3 and A6 will need to be replaced.  Satellite modem connections have not been reliable during July and August 2023.

9/14/2022 12:00:00 AM SiteUp

Antenna B0 03 lost current August 29, 2022 and was replaced September 14, 2022.

9/14/2022 12:00:00 AM GMC

Antenna A0 06 node lost current spring of 2022. Antenna A0 06 node was replaced September 14 however antenna current did not return to normal operating Amperage. Antenna A0 06 will need to be replaced.

8/16/2022 8:20:00 AM SiteUp

Remote communications resumed with a re-installed standalone satellite modem after the modem was stolen early March, 2022.  SW2 A0 antenna A9 node was replaced with a 20 ft. mid-node due to low current from the existing terminal node.  SW2 site operated intermittently March 23, 2022 through June 22, 2022 due to a dead battery bank.  Data collection during this time was 12 hours per day.  Dead batteries were replaced on June 23, 2022 and since then SW2 has operated continuously without disruption through August 22, 2022.

9/22/2021 12:00:00 AM GMC

SW2 battery bank A 35A fuse failed and melted resulting in a loss of data12 hrs per day for 2 days.  Fuse was replaced Septermber 24, 2021.  SW2 has since operated continuously without disruption through November 2, 2021.

6/8/2021 9:07:35 AM General Master Controller B0's ID changed to 01 resulting in several rejected interrogation files. I changed the ID back to B0 and repaired and re-submitted the rejected files.
8/18/2020 2:34:00 PM General Upper Selway PIT array (SW2) antenna node 02 and 04 on the Master Controller B0 string was replaced. Updated firmware to v1.7.1. SW2 is operating continuously although, power outages in the area created 16 hours of downtime on September 9, 2020.
6/9/2020 6:28:00 AM General Satellite SIM Card Swap and site maintenance. Batteries weak, LVD installed. Site Functional.
1/16/2020 8:58:00 AM General SW2 antenna IS1000 readers (nodes) were replaced on antennas B2- B9. Antennas A1-A4 are not functioning. Additional nodes are needed to resurrect the full component of A0 antennas.
10/9/2018 11:02:00 AM General Previous PIT on October 9, 2018 event stated that SW2 B0 reader can-bus cable was replaced. When in fact can-bus cable for SW2 A0 reader was replaced and not SW2 B0.
10/9/2018 7:10:00 AM General Selway River Array (SW2) 600 ft. CAN-Bus cable was replaced for the B0 array on October 9, 2018. The cable actually failed on May 18, 2018 effectively knocking out all antennas on B0. SW2 in now running continuously without disruption through October 21, 2018.
9/17/2017 11:00:00 AM General Breaker on B0 tripped on 9/17/17 around 11:10 AM. Reset on 9/26/17 at 3:32 PM.
