Installed Cellular telemetry system. RV50X with Verizon SIM installed in
telemetry system. IP address: 166.144.33.224
This is a temporary install until we can determine if HPWREN link is still
operational at CABR. If link is still operational the cellular telemetry
system will be removed and we will reinstall the XStream radio. The DL4
transmits to a receiving radio and serial to Ethernet converter ( photo ) mounted on the
wall in the sprinkler riser room ( photo ) in the lighthouse keepers quarters ( photo ). This
equipment is still located on site. The serial to Ethernet converter will
to be replaced with a Edgebox-RPi-200.

Logger solar panel not working, cut the cable and found that it was still outputting
proper voltage near the start of the cable, so spliced the good sections together.

Replaced SunSaver Solar Charge Controller SS-6L-10 with new unit.

Notes

CABR staff are maintaining four low cost weather stations at various locations
at the park. Data is not currently available externally. There is a weather
station by the waste water treatment facility that is operated by the county.
USFS was going to install a RAWS weather station near our site but funding
never materialized. CABR is interested in getting the fuel moisture data from
our station.
