6904 2024-10-10 Lab none Installed Tonzi Gas Analyzer CH4 Tower Installed on top of the Tower by adding a new mount using L-brackets and a rail fitting removing existing Allen screws and reusing the sockets for standard 1/4-20 bolts. Wash box and spiked hat also installed.

Notes: Calibration before loaning this sensor to J.J. to use at Elkhorn Slough Yampah tower while they're waiting for replacement/repair
6569 2024-02-16 Lab none Loaned Loaned none Loaned sensor to Sylvain and J.J. (UCSC) to use at the Elkhorn Slough Yampah tower while they wait for a replacement sensor/repairs. Spiky hat was not loaned. Cables were loaned: 7700 yellow power cable, 7700 green Ethernet cable, wash black power cable, wash black tubing without spray nozzle (spray nozzle loaned previously for UCSC to use at Elkhorn Porter tower)
6531 2024-01-11 Hill Slough Gas Analyzer CH4 Removed Lab none Removed from HS and brought back to the lab for calibration. It was replaced by sn TG1-0155
6328 2023-07-11 Lab none Installed Hill Slough Gas Analyzer CH4 Installed at Hill Slough to replace sn TG1-0211 for calibration.
6315 2023-07-10 Factory none Calibration Lab none Received from the factory back at the lab. 13.8 hours of labor went into repairing the extensive water damage and instrument calibration. 18 parts were replaced.
6233 2023-03-28 Lab none Shipped Factory none Shipped back to Licor for repair. Expecting a 4-6 months turnaround time
6232 2023-03-24 Loaned none Removed Lab none Removed from the BWW urban tower because it was not working. Joe opened it and found a bunch of water inside the bottom can. There is corrosion on the boards and will need to be returned to Licor for repair.
6223 2023-02-02 Lab none Installed Loaned none Re-installed on the BWW tower after calibration in the lab
6184 2023-02-02 Lab none Calibration Lab none Calibration Location: Lab
Last calibration: 2022-06-01
RSSI=79%, Optical RH=23%
Ambient P=101.3kPa, Tair=19.5C
Zero Air at 1400psi, AMP CA04119 4.2238 at 1275
CH4 Zero Offset: -.011ppm
CH4 Span Offset: .0138ppm
Notes: First calibration since sensor was installed on BWW urban tower 7 months ago. After calibration, swapped desiccant and flushed headspace with zero air until new optics RH=10%. Sensor removed this morning and will go back up on the BWW urban tower this afternoon.
5912 2022-07-15 Lab none Loaned Loaned none Installed on the BWW urban tower and updated the GHG columns. I also connected the HMP back to the 7700 auxiliary input. However, I couldn't remember the correct coefficients for the HMP. I tried the same multiplier and offset we use for CRBasic, but that didn't produce reasonable data. I e-mailed Joe for help and he fixed it the following day.

This sensor still needs a wash box and wash power cable. These will have to come from BA after our next visit. The current wash tubing is a spliced one, so I could also replace that with new black tubing.
5908 2022-07-05 Factory none Returned Lab none Received back in the lab after repair and calibration at Licor. They replaced the fuse and fuse holder and calibrated the instrument.
5909 2022-06-01 Factory Calibration Factory Calibration Location: Factory
Last calibration: 2021-11-30
RSSI=0%, Optical RH=0%
Ambient P=0kPa, Tair=0C
0 at 0psi, 0 0 at 0
CH4 Zero Offset: 10.1875ppm
CH4 Span Offset: .000103546ppm
Notes: Calibrated at Licor factory after replacing fuse holder and fuse. Not sure of the offset units (but probably not in ppm?)
5907 2022-04-28 Lab none Shipped Factory none Sent back to Licor for inspection/repair around this date.
5787 2022-04-15 Lab none Tested Lab none Plugged it in in the lab. The power LED was blinking intermittently and the ethernet and status LEDs were off. The fuse and fuse connector were totally rotten and the inside of the sensor body had condensation and a few tsp of water. We didn't see any obvious corrosion on the other circuit boards and no obvious leaks/cracks in the sensor. We wiped up the water and will let it air dry before sending it back to Licor.
5790 2022-04-13 West Pond Gas Analyzer CH4 Removed Lab none Removed from West Pond and brought back to the lab. I couldn't connect to this sensor. The power LED light was blinking intermittently. Ethernet and Status LEDs were off. I removed the power cable as well since there was a crack in the plastic cable collar at the sensor. The wash power, wash tubing, and Ethernet cable are still there.
5612 2021-11-30 West Pond Calibration West Pond Calibration Location: West Pond

Zero Air at 100psi, AMP CA04396 1.9317 at 1750
CH4 Zero Offset: .050ppm
CH4 Span Offset: .0023ppm
Notes: Relatively still day. The zero air tank pressure may have been >100psi, but the regulator was wonky. Zero was stable for 2min after applying zero.

CH4 Zero Offset: -0.024ppm
CH4 Span Offset: 0.043ppm
Notes: Relatively still day. Zero gas was an AMP cal gas in a baby tank that we borrowed for the day. Zero offset and span are a bit higher than I usually see on 7700s. A lot of bounce in concentrations from Dennis and Robert talking and wiggling the upper boardwalk.
4982 2020-11-19 West Pond Calibration West Pond Calibration Location: West Pond

Zero Air at 500psi, AMP CA3923 3.121 at 500
CH4 Zero Offset: 0.005ppm
CH4 Span Offset: 0.002ppm
Notes: Still day. This sensor was originally at BA before we moved it to WP to calibrate. The sensor usually at WP (sn TG1-0224) was removed and brought back to the lab because its serial number was not recognized in the 7700 or 7550 software.
4970 2020-11-19 Bouldin Alfalfa Gas Analyzer CH4 Moved West Pond Gas Analyzer CH4 Removed from Bouldin Alfalfa for calibration. Replaced by sn TG1-0211. Later we discovered that the 7700 at WP was behaving weirdly so we swapped this instrument in there are calibrated it there.

3910 2019-04-11 Bouldin Alfalfa Gas Analyzer CH4 Upgrade Bouldin Alfalfa Gas Analyzer CH4 Upgraded LI-7700 sn TG1-0421 firmware from 1.0.23 to 1.0.27. To connect, Joe had to change the laptop network subnet from 192.168.2.5 to 192.168.1.5 (to match the LI-7700 IP address of 192.168.1.77), even though the subnet mask was 255.255.255.0. We then restarted the instrument and calibrated LI-7700 sn TG1-0421.

Notes: First calibration after power board replacement
3792 2018-11-05 Lab none Upgrade Lab none I swapped out power board pn 9677-079G per Licor's instructions. The new power board is pn 9977-079. According to Licor, "the original board needs a new resistor for the "under-voltage" problem (potential to drop out when heater and washers run simultaneously while incoming power is lower than usual, say 11-10 VDC)". The new board Rev 0A (V3) should not have that problem.
3786 2018-11-01 East End Gas Analyzer CH4 Removed Lab none Removed from EE and brought back to the lab for a power board replacement and calibration. It was replaced by sn TG1-0423

Notes: First calibration after replacing the circuit power board. Ambient CH4 = 1.98
2926 2017-07-13 Lab none Repair Lab none Replaced the power supply circuit board (9977-073) in the LI-7700. The analyzer was having a few problems before this repair: atmosphere pressure was about 40-50 kpa, spin motor did not work, fluid pump did not work. Li-cor emailed the replacement board as a warranty replacement (no cost). We opened up the bottom enclosure plate and the enclosure cylinder to replace the board.

After the repair, the pressure read 100.1 kPa and the spin motor and fluid pump both worked.
2925 2017-07-12 Bouldin Corn Gas Analyzer CH4 Removed Lab none Brought back to the lab to replace its power board. Power board provided by Li-cor.
2716 2017-04-26 Lab none Installed Bouldin Corn Gas Analyzer CH4 Installed at 5.2m agl the Bouldin Corn site with the initial set up of the tower.
