Summary: CR10X2 needs new battery, fixed grounding on CR10X2, CR23X3 and muxes

When: Thr, 27Nov03, JD-331
Where: Tonzi/Vaira Ranches
Who: Ted Hehn
Weather Clear & Cool
Trip Purpose: General site visit

Tonzi Ranch:

CR10X4 has quit. Battery needs replacing.

CR10X2 has intermittent over-range failure—begin diagnostics:

  • CR23X3 gnd post bonded to ground rod
  • Power/Power return leads are jumpered from 23X3 to 10x2 providing a ground bond to 10x2—not good.
  • Power/return leads jumpered from cr10x2 to AM25T mux to provide mux with gnd bond.
  • Another lead from cr10x2 gnd post to AM25T gnd post exists--- forms ground loop—this connection was loose and may have been the culprit!!! -- Remove it completely.
  • Lead between 23x gnd and MD9 was also removed.

All ground loops corrected. Problem may cease.
