FMA RMT-200 08-0114 2011-11-18 Lab none Calibration Lab none Calibrated in the lab with god bottle 1.8978ppm CH4 at 180psi. Last calibration Aug 12, 2011. Before running the cal gas the LGR read:
10:33PST, 21.58C, 142.54Torr, 15.466usec, 1Hz, 1.866ppm
I missed writing down the ppm with the cal gas before calibration but it was about 1.80ppm. Afterwards it was right on.
FMA RMT-200 08-0114 2011-11-16 Lab none Maintenance Lab none In the field I pulled the internal filter in the LGR to use as the external 2um filter on the system with the new LGR that I swapped in. Runing in the lab with a loose, dirty filter internally dirtied the mirrors, but the ring time was already low to begin with. I swapped the internal 2um filter with a cleaned one. I checked a fitting in front of the pressure controller looking for another filter but found nothing. I pulled the pressure controller and discovered if you disassemble it you can clean some internal filters. This seems to have solved the flow problem. Then I cleaned the mirrors. The first cleaning seemed to work but when I used a high flow rate than began to get dirty. I may have to clean them again.
FMA RMT-200 08-0114 2011-10-27 Twitchell Rice Removed Lab none I removed the LGR from Twitchell due to low pressure and almost no flow in low flow mode. I swapped in LGR sn 05-0010.

FMA RMT-200 05-0010 2011-10-10 Lab none Maintenance Lab none No flow in low flow mode. The internal 2um after the pressure controller seemed okay. I disassembled the inlet tubing and fittings to get a 10um filter out from infront of the pressure controller. This was completely plugged. I rinsed it with degreaser and DI water and dried it by blowing air through it. Flow was better but still seemed low. I reinstalled the filter and reassembled the inlet tubing. Now is slow flow the internal pressure is 156Torr.

CNR1 990181 2011-09-27 Lab none Tested Lab none Data was recorded on two consecutive days with similar radition (September 27 and 28, 2011) from the window on the south side of the lab. At 11:20am on day 271 the CNR was rotated 180 degrees so that the upward and downward sensors switched places. All channels seem to have similar responses. I conclude this sensor is in working order.
WMP 1352 000022 2011-08-29 Factory none Returned Lab none Returned from Gill factory by way of PP Systems. Gill fully tested the unit for problems in communication and tolerance of low input voltage and found no problems. They fixed a a seal where the shaft goes into the main body.

CS511 DO-2 2011-01-28 Lab none Installed Twitchell Rice DO Sensor First installation of this sensor in the field.
CS511 DO-2 2011-06-02 Twitchell Rice DO Sensor Maintenance Twitchell Rice DO Sensor Jaclyn replaced the electrolyte and cleaned the sensor before putting it back in the field now that the field is flooded.
ML2x 139/052 2011-07-07 Twitchell Rice Soil Moisture Probe B Removed Lab none Removed from the field after it was discovered that otters had chewed its cable.
CS450 20010026 2011-07-07 Twitchell Rice Water Level Removed Lab none This senor was removed from the Twitchell tower after it was discovered that otters had chewed the cable.
CS450 20010026 2011-07-14 Twitchell Rice Water Level Installed Lab none Reinstalled in the field after repairs to the cable where otters had chewed on it. I spliced the wires and the tube that provides the atmospheric pressure reference.
CS511 DO-2 2011-07-28 Twitchell Rice DO Sensor Removed Lab none Removed from the field after the cable was cut during the clearing of weeds.
CS511 DO-2 2011-08-04 Lab none Installed Twitchell Rice DO Sensor Reinstalled after splicing the cable to repair cut from weed clearing.
CNR1 020476 2011-03-01 Sherman Island Net Radiometer 4-way Removed Lab none Removed from the tower due to bad PRT readings. sn 990181 installed in place.
CNR1 990181 2011-03-01 Lab none Installed Sherman Island Net Radiometer 4-way Installed on the tower to replace the original one (sn 020476) that had a bad PRT reading.
CNR1 020476 2011-08-12 Lab none Installed Sherman Island Net Radiometer 4-way This radiometer was reinstalled on the tower after it was determined that the problem with the PRT was due either to the resistor bridge or possible a programming bug that used the wrong excitation channel. It was installed with a new resistor bridge.
CNR1 990181 2011-08-12 Sherman Island Net Radiometer 4-way Removed Lab none Removed from the Sherman tower.
FMA RMT-200 05-0010 2011-08-16 Lab none Calibration Lab none See calibration log. I also set the time to local standard time and changed the serial settings to 115200. I left it in high flow and shutdown so it should boot correctly next time.
FMA RMT-200 05-0010 2011-08-12 Lab none Repair Lab none This analyzer was removed from the field because it would not boot. Connecting the hard drive to a computer running Knopix Linux I could see that the drive was full and deleted some of the data files. Then it would boot but the analyzer software would crash and kick out into the service shell. There I could see that a bunch of the *.ini files in the icos folder were zero length. LGR was able to email me a copy of these files and replacing them seemed to fix the problems.
LI-6262 IRG3-1079 2011-07-08 Lab none Calibration Lab none I calibrated the Li6262 in differential mode. I flowed zero air through a T into both the reference and sample cells at a flow just detectable on wetted lips. CO2 was low by about a 0.1 ppm CO2. I adjusted both CO2 zero and H2O zero. I then flowed 370.91ppm CO2 in air (god bottle) through the sample while leaving the zero air in the reference. The 6262 read 369.20+-0.05ppm. I adjusted the CO2 span to match the tank value. I tested the nearly empty 597.4ppm tank and it was true. I then test the new 400ppm CO2 in air tank and came up with a value of 405.85ppm and labeled the tank with this value.
LI-7500A 1594 2011-07-06 Lab none Installed Tonzi-Tower Installed on the Tonzi Tower after laboratory calibration. Replaced sn 0041.
