== Instal evap pan ==
*field calibrate
*edit program
*for platform
**exterior grade plywood - home depot will cut it
**exterior deck screws
*calibrate in mm to get units in mm

== Wind sensors replacement ==
*calculate multiplier for wind direction sensor. for back calculation purposes
*Replace wind direction sensors
*align (declination: 18.5 degrees)
** North (0/360 degrees) when nose points AWAY from box, for both sensors
**<s>aligned in office so that when nose faces same way as box, reads 180.</s>
*to install propeller, hand tighten then tighten with channel locks
*both wind sensors can use same excitation port
*White = 5106, Black = 5103

== Telemetry ==
Finish installing radio + ethernet for redundancy
*old RF310B is in WQ in computer racks to left after enter
**black box with campbell scientific marking
**put timer on power source
*radio connected to CR3000 with CS10 port gets power from this port as well
*check config settings on NL201 nl201.toolik.uaf.edu should be: 
**HwAddr:  00:D0:2C:02:0D:73.
**IP address: 137.229.91.81
**Subnet MASK: 255.255.255.192
**Default Gateway/Router:137.229.91.65

*for NL100 I'm bring up
**HwAddr (MAC address): 00d02c0004c0 
**IP address: 137.229.91.82
**Subnet MASK: 255.255.255.192
**Default Gateway/Router:137.229.91.65

*compass 
*outlet timer for old radio
*NL100
*smart phone
*evap gauge 
*two RM young wind sensors
*sleeping bag
*nut driver for tower base
*drill + charger
*tube for leveling platform
*wood and screws for platform
*zip ties
*null modem cable for NL100 communication
*cat5 cable and tools for creating connectors

*field laptop + charger
*laptop + charger
*plywood boards
*field notebook
*camera
*tool bag
*fish tape
*electrical tape
*ethernet-usb plug
*serial-usb plug

*cable housing
*pertinent manuals
*extension chord
*disc
*printed copies of the plan
*gloves

== Items to purchase ==
*alcohol swabs
*power strip
*compass
*32 AA batteries for GardenCam
*plywood +screws for base

== Tipping tower ==
*grab 2  saw horses
*undo one guy wire, loosen others
*undo one leg bolts, loosen others
** 2 bolts on each leg, take off both on one leg, just loosen bottom screw for other 2 legs
*CAREFUL of sensor wires when lowering tower
*have WD40 with me in case can't get wind sensor screws undone

when raise tower, make turnbuckles taught but not too tight

== PLAN ==

===Telemetry===
* plug in timer to old radio base
* check config settings on NL201 in CPS shed
* run cat5 line from radio in CPS shed
* leave NL100 in enclosure, wire power from data logger or outlet
*(grab ladder against back of tool shed to look into box)

===Wind Sensors + Garden Cam===
*Alignment 
**which way does tower tip and how is crossbar oriented 
**stake out east west 
* Tip Tower
* Reset Garden Cam
**remover flash drive (may need to cut tape for this)
**download pics
**clear drive
*Replace Wind sensors
**use old mounts or change if necessary
**screw on propeller, hand tighten then tighten with channel locks 
**alignment ring then sensor 
* zip tie wires and pull them into box
* Wire Sensors
' RM Young 5103 Wind Monitor (black)

* Download data files from CR3000
* upload new program
* Align Wind sensors on ground as best as possible
** first horizontal plane
** second east-west
* Raise tower
** have Brie climb it to align sensors if necessary
* Replace batteries in Garden Cam power case (24 AA batteries)

===Evaporation Gauge===
*Build platform with pallets and plywood
*attach gauge to pan with pipe
*run wire through housing and into enclosure
**' Evaporation Pan
**' White Wire   -- CR3000 SE16
**' Red Wire -- CR3000 VX3 
**' Black Wire -- CR3000 Signal Ground
*Calibrate
** Fill pan partway with water, measure height with ruler in mm
** Measure voltage by reading the EvapLevelTemp variable on the program
** Add more water, measure water depth in pan
** Measure voltage
** Calculate multiplier and offset using y = mx+b
***m(multiplier) = (height1-height2)/(voltage2-voltage1)
***b(offset) = height1-(m*voltage1)
*Change multiplier and offset in program
**download data
**upload new program


=== Additional tasks ===
(grab ladder against back of tool shed to look into box)

*download CR3000 + radio device config settings
*level and alcohol swab radiometer (par) 
*level and alcohol swab 3 radiometers on old tower (net Rad, UVA, UVB)

*Pluvio
**Hole in mesh to craw in, 3 captive screws holding on outer shield
*** REQUIRES TROX 20 Screw driver
**empty  most of water inside plastic inner tub
**remove any dead animals 

*note any damage
*Make sure no water in battery box
*inspect seals where wires go in
*inspect solar panels
