<hr />
<div>== Instal evap pan ==<br />
*field calibrate<br />
*edit program<br />
*for platform<br />
**exterior grade plywood - home depot will cut it<br />
**exterior deck screws<br />
*calibrate in mm to get units in mm<br />
<br />
== Wind sensors replacement ==<br />
*calculate multiplier for wind direction sensor. for back calculation purposes<br />
*Replace wind direction sensors<br />
*align (declination: 18.5 degrees)<br />
** North (0/360 degrees) when nose points AWAY from box, for both sensors<br />
**aligned in office so that when nose faces same way as box, reads 180.<br />
*to install propeller, hand tighten then tighten with channel locks<br />
*both wind sensors can use same excitation port<br />
<br />
== Telemetry ==<br />
Finish installing radio + ethernet for redundancy<br />
*old RF310B is in WQ in computer racks to left after enter<br />
**black box with campbell scientific marking<br />
**put timer on power source<br />
*radio connected to CR3000 with CS10 port gets power from this port as well<br />
<br />
<br />
== Items to bring up ==<br />
*alcohol swabs<br />
*compass <br />
*outlet timer for old radio<br />
*NL100<br />
*smart phone<br />
*evap gauge <br />
*two RM young wind sensors<br />
*sleeping bag<br />
*nut driver for tower base<br />
*drill<br />
*tube for leveling platform<br />
*wood and screws for platform<br />
*zip ties<br />
*null modem cable for NL100 communication<br />
*cat5 cable and tools for creating connectors<br />
*wire to power NL100 from CR3000 AND ac adapter if outlet space<br />
*field laptop + charger<br />
*laptop + charger<br />
<br />
== Items to purchase ==<br />
*alcohol swabs<br />
*power strip<br />
*compass<br />
*32 AA batteries for GardenCam<br />
*plywood +screws for base<br />
<br />
== Tipping tower ==<br />
*grab 2 saw horses<br />
*undo one guy wire, loosen others<br />
*undo one leg bolts, loosen others<br />
** 2 bolts on each leg, take off both on one leg, just loosen bottom screw for other 2 legs<br />
*CAREFUL of sensor wires when lowering tower<br />
*have WD40 with me in case can't get wind sensor screws undone<br />
<br />
when raise tower, make turnbuckles taught but not too tight<br />
<br />
== working on Tower ==<br />
<br />
gardenCam<br />
*Remove flash drive/SD card, download pics, clear it (may need to cut tape to access SD card)<br />
replace wind sensors, align direction<br />
<br />
<br />
== Additional tasks ==<br />
upload new CR3000 program (grab ladder against back of tool shed to look into box<br />
<br />
download CR3000 + radio device config settings<br />
<br />
level and alcohol swab radiometer (par) <br />
<br />
level and alcohol swab 3 radiometers on old tower (net Rad, UVA, UVB)<br />
<br />
GardenCam: replace batteries in box in box<br />
<br />
Pluvio<br />
*Hole in mesh to craw in, 3 captive screws holding on outer shield<br />
*empty most of water inside plastic inner tub<br />
*remove any dead animals <br />
<br />
note any damage<br />
Make sure no water in battery box<br />
<br />
inspect seals where wires go in<br />
<br />
inspect solar panels<br />
<br />
== TODO ==<br />
*TELEMETRY<br />
*<s>PR and purchase stuff</s><br />
*update program for evap pan, wind sensors, snow depth quality number<br />
*program NL100<br />
*evap gauge base supplies and logistics<br />
