16BMS010034Diffuse CM2205/12/201800:00:0005/17/201815:30:00The ventilator fan on the Diffuse CM22 #1 failed. On May 15 and 16 it became apparent that the failed fan was creating heat and causing a lower signal on the CM22. The fan power supply was unplugged at the end of the day on May 16. The fan was replaced and the ventilator was fully operation on May 17 at approx 15:30.
17BMSDiffuse CM2201/17/201707:15:0001/17/201708:56:00DATA CORRECTED on 1/18/2017: CM22 #1 Data was corrected by substituting the CM22 #2.

23BMSDiffuse CM2205/07/201105:55:0005/09/201107:58:00There was a planned power outage for SRRL construction activities that started at 5:18 MST. Unfortunately, the backup generator provided to SRRL was providing bad power to the UPS powering the Sci-Tec trackers, therefore the UPS failed at 5:55 MST. Unfortunately, when normal AC power was restored at 11:45 MST, the Sci-Tec trackers had lost all their configuration due to UPS cycling on and off during the outage, therefore were not tracking. The tracker settings were restored on May 9 at 7:58 MST. The following BMS instruments were not pointing at the sun during this time: Direct CH1, NIP #2, NIP #1, LI-201, NIP RG780, CUVA2, CUVB2, TWC; and the following instruments were un-shaded: Diffuse 8-48, PSP, CM22, CUV4, PIR, CG4
