Tonzi Ranch:
Floor Friday 12:32

Regulator
Batt volt = 13
Array amp = 22.6
Load amp = 2.9

Install 4 more batteries on flux system to bring total to 12 from 8

Fencer at floor system was turned off.

Floor PC unable to communicate with CR10x7 (CO2 profile logger) begin diagnostics:
1. Connection with cr10x8 and cr23x6 are fine. CR10x7 is on same coax lead so replace cable from main line to cr10x7 â€“ no help
2.

Tower 13:03

CO2 profile pump not working. Sample flow temp at 26, press 1008 mbar.
Fuse for the dc/dc converter for pump was blown. Replace 2 amp fuse with 2 amp. Note that the intake solenoids and cooling fan are still functioning because they are connected to power on the input side of pump dc/dc converter.

Replace 1/2 amp fuse on pressure controller dc/dc converter.

Pressure = 949
Temp sample = 41.2
Temp cell = 50.6
Flow = 3 lpm

T&RH probe had fallen out of rad shield. Replace fan and 12 rad shield plate. This was the first shield I had modified and I just removed one plate. The newer design has a hole drilled in plate to allow the fan to reside hidden inside the plate.
