- 222: Power, Site tower, Fri 28-Mar-2003 09:46:15 MST, power died
[the next 3 entries were written on 26&27 March, but couldn't be entered until
now.]
Apparently, there were 3 short power hits about 19:30 on 26 March which caused
the adams to reboot twice. Lake & Sage (of course) stayed up, and the UPS kept
the base up, so only a bit of data were lost and only from the tower.
Before it is erased, we should: "fgrep ups /var/log/messages > ups_log_entry"
and include this in logbook to record the occurance of all of these events.
- 160: Power, Site tower, Sat 22-Feb-2003 17:14:54 MST, power changes
I put the ice detector breakout box on a separate 12V supply. To plug this
supply in, I installed a power strip in the CO2 pump box and rerouted the
pump to plug into it. The current status is:
transformer breaker 1 - unused
2 - used for daisy&cosmos
3 - going to Bill Massman's setup (using an ADAM power supply)
4 - to the electric fence charger
This was done about 12:30
- 73: Power, Site sage, Tue 17-Dec-2002 17:03:18 MST, 4th solar panel installed
I just installed a 4th solar panel at sage and put the 3rd panel in parallel
with the 2 main panels, as I did at lake yesterday.
- 65: Power, Site lake, Mon 16-Dec-2002 17:48:00 MST, Wind generator swapped
We tried playing with the pot on the old wind generator (clockwise, counter-
clockwise, mid point) but were unable to get the prop to turn much. Thus,
we replaced the entire unit with a new one (405, rather than 403?). This
done from about 14:30-16:30.
Also, we put an extra solar panel for the electric fence and connected the
old 3rd panel with the others for more station power. We still need to
stake this down.
