| Notes: |
Yesterday in the field, I saw an error message that said something like "the sensor on port 7 is drawing too much power," (central port where the wiper was installed). The wiper and depth data were 0 since our last data download, although the water quality parameters (fDOM, turbidity, conductivity, temperature) had reasonable data.
Today I plugged the EXO2 in in the lab and all connected fine for about 10 seconds, until the Kor software had a pop-up window that said the instrument was disconnected. I tried disconnecting the wiper and leaving the three water quality sensors connected: the red LED on the sonde displayed the expected steady 1Hz blink and the Kor software can detect the instrument.
When the wiper was installed, the red LED on the sonde flutters ~1Hz (not a distinct blink) and the Kor software cannot detect the instrument. I tested both the central port and another port on the side but the result was the same.
I'll e-mail YSI tech support to see what they say. |
