|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6530 | 2024-01-11 | Lab none | Installed | Hill Slough Gas Analyzer CH4 | Installed at HS to replace sn TG1-0421, which was removed for calibration |
| 6523 | 2024-01-10 | Lab | Calibration | Lab | Calibration Location: Lab Last calibration: 2023-06-15 RSSI=91%, Optical RH=21% Ambient P=100.46kPa, Tair=21.3C Zero Air at 500psi, AMP CA04119 4.2238 at 750 CH4 Zero Offset: -.03ppm CH4 Span Offset: -.0188ppm Notes: This sensor was removed from WP with its decommissioning. Back in the lab, it had revert to default heater settings and its clock was off (laptop=11:46, 7700=18:51, "Etc/GMT+8" on slave). I changed the clock setting to automatic, set the clock to match the laptop time, changed the clock setting back to slave, and then rebooted. The time was correct after reboot but we should double-check it after conencting to the 7550 in the field. I changed the heater settings back to our usual. Before calibration, I flushed the optics headspace down to 10% and swapped in a bottle of fresh drierite. |
| 6519 | 2024-01-04 | West Pond Gas Analyzer CH4 | Removed | Lab none | Removed from WP tower with initial decommissioning of the site |
| 6303 | 2023-06-15 | West Pond | Calibration | West Pond | Calibration Location: West Pond Last calibration: 2023-01-18 RSSI=89%, Optical RH=13% Ambient P=101.0kPa, Tair=26.2C Zero Air at 1100psi, AMP CA04119 4.2238 at 1050 CH4 Zero Offset: 0ppm CH4 Span Offset: -.0088ppm Notes: Zero was right on! Since the optics RH=13% which is pretty good, we did not flush its headspace or change its desiccant. The heater and cleaning settings were set to the default (maybe because of recent power outages). I updated both to what I remember to be our usual settings. |
| 6167 | 2023-01-18 | West Pond | Calibration | West Pond | Calibration Location: West Pond Last calibration: 2022-06-09 RSSI=81%, Optical RH=10% Ambient P=101.9kPa, Tair=12.3C Zero Air at 1500psi, AMP CA04396 1.9317 at 1125 CH4 Zero Offset: .008ppm CH4 Span Offset: .0103ppm Notes: Since optics RH = 10%, I did not change desiccant or flush headspace after calibration. |

| 5247 | 2021-04-15 | Lab none | Installed | Bouldin Alfalfa Gas Analyzer CH4 | Installed on the BA tower after factory repair/calibration. |
| 5238 | 2021-04-14 | Factory none | Repair | Lab none | The following were replaced: spinning mirror motor and base plate assembly, spars, digital board (had water damage in area of RTC), pressure sensor (was totally soaked and corroded). Factory calibration on 2021-03-25. |
| 5258 | 2021-03-25 | Factory none | Calibration | Factory none | Factory calibration with repair of the instrument. New Coefficients: |
| 5104 | 2021-02-04 | Lab none | Shipped | Factory none | Shipped to Licor and RMA 00225226 for evaluation after being submerged when the BC tower fell in the storm last week. |
| 5103 | 2021-02-01 | Lab none | Tested | Lab none | On the 29th I removed this sensor from being submerged after the BC tower fell just after midnight on the morning of the 27th. On the evening of the 29th, about 1/2 cup of water came out of the bottom when I removed the base. I removed the desiccant bottle in the head and saw no evidence that water had leaked in there. I left dry air flowing inside the base over night. On the 30th I removed the bottom case and only saw minor water damage on the pressure sensor. On the 1st, after consultation with Licor, I powered up the analyzer and got green power and status lights but no communications on the Ethernet. It will need to be returned to Licor for further evaluation. |
| 5070 | 2021-01-29 | Bouldin Corn Gas Analyzer CH4 | Removed | Lab none | Removed due to the tower falling over in the storm near midnight on 2021-01-26/27. Completely submerged |

| 1688 | 2015-02-02 | Factory | Returned | Lab none | Returned from Licor on RMA 00186861 for internal corrosion due to a leak. Licor says: Replace corroded connector LED board. We couldn't see any way that the water got inside. Very strange. We did add some water resistant grease under the spinning mirror that is now a part of how we build all instruments. The analog board had some component that was shorting out all the 5 volts for the whole instrument causing the lights to blink and motor spin. replaced the board. calibrated instrument. |

| 549 | 2012-04-24 | Mayberry Gas Analyzer CH4 | Removed | Lab none | Removed from the Mayberry eddy tower. Replaced with LI-7700 sn TG1-0224 |
| 505 | 2011-11-22 | Mayberry Gas Analyzer CH4 | Calibration | Mayberry Gas Analyzer CH4 | After cleaning the mirrors the RSSI was 69. We tried to check the calibration of the LI7700. I put the hood on the 7700 and ran zero air through it. I watched the value on the CR1000. It got down to about 10ppb - not as good as I expected. I tried to run a span gas but didn't have the correct regulator. |
| 504 | 2011-06-30 | Mayberry Gas Analyzer CH4 | Calibration | Mayberry Gas Analyzer CH4 | I removed the solar shield and installed the calibration hood. I was able to connect to the LI7700 through the LI7550 using Ethernet. I changed the wash cycle from 20sec spray rechecked every 15min to a 10sec spray rechecked every 3hr as suggested by Liukang. I flowed zero air from a small transfer tank at about 400psi. The LI7700 reported 0ppm CH4. I then flowed 1.976ppm secondary standard from the tank that used to be at Sherman. The LI7700 reported 1.976ppm CH4. Because the LI7700 seemed to be right on I did not to a formal calibration.

| 503 | 2011-02-03 | Lab none | Installed | Mayberry Gas Analyzer CH4 | Installed on the Mayberry tower to replace the 7700 that was on loan to us from Licor. Collecting data on the CR1000 by direct ethernet to 7700. |
| 284 | 2011-01-31 | Lab none | Calibration | Lab none | On 1/27/11, Dennis and Jaclyn tested the LI-7700 output against the calibration gases in the lab.
1. The tank with 4.982 ppm methane read 5.021 ppm on the LI-7700. 2. The zero air tank read 0.05 ppm on the LI-7700 (although low confidence that the gas is in fact zero methane. 3. The 1.8978 god bottle read 1.898 on the LI-7700. We chose not to calibrate the instrument since the readings were so close to the actual values. |
| 280 | 2011-01-25 | Factory | Returned | Lab none | Returned from repair at Licor. Service note say: "The spars were knocked out of alignment. The spinning mirror bearings were knocked out of alignment. Replaced the motor and realigned everything. Tested in environmental chamber from -25C to 50C. Calibrated.
