5046 2020-12-18 Lab none Installed Bouldin Alfalfa Forced Diffusion A Installed to replace the FD Chamber with the high temperature startup problems.
5038 2020-12-17 Factory none Returned Lab none Returned from repair at Eosense. They replaced the CO2 board and sensor, the internal battery and the conical membranes. They did and FD calibration and a FD FGen on 2020-12-14.
4863 2020-10-08 Lab none Shipped Factory none Sent to Eosense for evaluation and repair.
4862 2020-09-28 Lab none Tested Lab none The pump is running but both CO2 signals are
just noise. Probably another dead IRGA. Also there's a scratch in oneof the atmospheric diffusion membranes.
4780 2020-09-23 Bouldin Alfalfa Forced Diffusion A Removed Lab none Removed from BA and brought back to the lab for testing because of noisy data. It was replaced by sn FD20180048.
4419 2020-04-17 Bouldin Alfalfa Forced Diffusion A Notes Bouldin Alfalfa Forced Diffusion A I tried to add a collar to this FD chamber, but the collar did not fit. I ended up reinstalling it in the same location (NE corner under the tower) over bare soil.
3679 2018-08-07 Lab none Installed Bouldin Alfalfa Forced Diffusion A Installed under the BA scaffolding over bare soil.
3613 2018-07-26 Bouldin Alfalfa Forced Diffusion A Removed Lab none Removed from BA because it was not turning on after power cycling and brought back to the lab for testing. I think the chamber is fine, just needs to be off for 1 minute before being turned back on.
3592 2018-07-12 Lab none Installed Bouldin Alfalfa Forced Diffusion A Installed at BA under the scaffolding. Sampling frequency is 5 min.
3528 2018-06-13 Twitchell Alfalfa Forced Diffusion Removed Lab none Removed with Twitchell Alfalfa site decommissioning.
3390 2018-04-05 Lab none Installed Twitchell Alfalfa Forced Diffusion Installed at TA in the soil between the soilco2 datalogger enclosure and the solar panels. We tried to sync the sensor time to system time, but the change was not saved.
3365 2018-03-21 Factory Returned Lab none Returned from Eosense after a long, long time. Last time it was immediately returned to them after coming back from having the pump replaced because the IRGA seemed to be dead.
3183 2017-10-27 Lab none Repair Factory Sent back to Eosense for repair.
3182 2017-10-13 Twitchell Alfalfa Forced Diffusion Removed Lab none Removed from TA because it was giving bad readings (200? ppm +/- 200? ppm).
3081 2017-09-21 Lab none Installed Twitchell Alfalfa Forced Diffusion Reinstalled at TA after testing in the lab. It is now on its own individual DC-DC converter to step down from 24V to 12V.
3079 2017-09-19 Twitchell Alfalfa Forced Diffusion Removed Lab none Removed from the field because it has not been collecting data and some of the data were 0. Brought back to the lab for troubleshooting.
3045 2017-09-06 Lab none Installed Twitchell Alfalfa Forced Diffusion Reinstalled with new 90 degree cable after factory refurb.
2994 2017-08-28 Factory Received Lab none Received FD chamber back in the lab. No documentation about what they inspected/fixed.
3030 2017-07-05 Lab none Shipped Factory Shipped to Eosense for replacement of failed pump. Eosense provided shipping on UPS.
2993 2017-06-23 Twitchell Alfalfa Forced Diffusion Removed Lab none Removed from Twitchell Alfalfa and brought back to lab to send back to Eosense
2384 2016-07-15 Lab none Installed Twitchell Alfalfa Forced Diffusion Installed after testing in the lab. It seemed to work with no changes to the set up.
2351 2016-07-07 Twitchell Alfalfa Forced Diffusion Removed Lab none Removed from the Twitchell Alfalfa. It does not seem to be getting power even connected to a independent 12V battery. Brought in for testing.
2350 2016-06-06 Lab none Installed Twitchell Alfalfa Forced Diffusion Installed at Twitchell Alfalfa. Powered from CR1000 power connector, but did not seem to be running. Could not find the software to check on it.
