5354 2021-06-24 Bouldin Corn Gas Analyzer CH4 Removed Loaned none Removed from BC and loaned to Steve, Sabina and Nick for use on Staten Island. This unit belongs to DWR and the one they had belongs to UCB.

5089 2021-02-03 Lab none Installed Bouldin Corn Gas Analyzer CH4 Installed on the BC tower to replace sensors damaged when the tower fell last week
4991 2020-11-30 Lab none Upgrade Lab none Upgraded firmware from v1.0.27 to v1.0.29 - it is mostly fixes that are useful internally to Licor.

4990 2020-11-30 Lab Calibration Lab Calibration Location: Lab
Last calibration: 2020-05-20
RSSI=73%, Optical RH=11%
Ambient P=101.2kPa, Tair=24.0C
Zero Air at 500psi, AMP CA4396 1.9497 at 375
CH4 Zero Offset: -0.054ppm
CH4 Span Offset: 0.009ppm
Notes: First calibration after renaming from "unknown" to its serial number. After this calibration, I will upgrade the firmware to v1.0.29.
4989 2020-11-25 Lab none Maintenance Lab none Renamed from "Unknown" to "TG1-0224" and rebooted. The optics RH was 22%, so I swapped the desiccant and flushed the headspace with zero air. The new optics RH was 11%. I will let it run for a few days, logging data, to see if there are any issues before I calibrate.
4978 2020-11-19 West Pond Gas Analyzer CH4 Removed Lab none Removed from West Pond for calibration. Replaced by sn TG1-0421. It was brought back to the lab because its name was "Unknown" in both the 7550 and 7700 software instead of the usual serial number.

3392 2018-04-05 Lab none Installed West Pond Gas Analyzer CH4 Installed at WP to replace sn TG1-0424, which was brought back to the lab for calibration.
3381 2018-04-04 Lab none Calibration Lab none Calibration Location: Lab
Last calibration: 2017-11-27

Zero Air at 100psi, LBL Air 1.9497 at 1700
CH4 Zero Offset: -.002ppm

Notes: Powered up twice successfully and synced waveforms within 20 seconds. Actual laser temperature = 25.6C, set laser temperature = 26.C.
3283 2018-01-12 Lab none Adjusted Lab none This 7700 has an unlocked reference signal (the reference and signal waveforms were not synced). I talked with James at Licor and changed the Laser Start Temp from 29.8 to 25.5 in the factory settings (Help > About > Factory). To find the new start temperature, I did a Wide Scan (Help > About > Wide Scan > Start), which goes through temperature 0-50 deg C. There is a graph and table of results, where you can pinpoint the reference lock temperature. During the Wide Scan, some of the factory settings changed, so I reset those (changed Delta 1 from 100 back to 41). Licor has the original factory settings on file.
3279 2018-01-10 Lab none Adjusted Lab none Checked the sensor in the lab, and the temperature reading was fine. However, there was an error "Reference signal is UNLOCKED," and CH4 was reading ~0.05 umol/mol. The diagnostics tab showed that the signal and reference waveforms were not synced. I changed the temperature control to manual, adjusted the laser temperature from 30.6 to 26.0 so that the waveforms were synced, and changed the temperature control back to automatic.
3219 2017-11-30 Lab none Notes Lab none Temperature was reading -9C after we installed it at SW, so we brought it back to the lab...The temperature was fine earlier this week when I calibrated it.
