Station Details
SACV operational status:
2024.04.01
IDA engineers visited the station and replaced the faulty batteries restoring station power.
2024.02.09
The station is down due to power outages caused by faulty batteries. Three absolyte batteries have corroded/bad cells. A trip to replace the batteries is being planned.
2022.04.01
IDA engineers visited the station and restored communications between the digitizers and station computers on day 2022,085 (3/26). They replaced the Advantech switch, cat-5 cables, Moxa hub, and Axiomatic power supply. They also repaired a bad cell for the backup battery stack, upgraded the Q330 firmware, and established a cell link for the station.
2022.03.17
The station is down again due to communications issues between the digitizers and station computers (last data 2022,059-18:57). IDA engineers will be visiting the station soon.
2021.12.01
Station operators visited the station and replaced both Q330s and fixed the cat-5 uplink cable. Reported that one of the Absolyte batteries is leaking. IDA engineers are preparing for a possible trip in early 2022.
2021.08.26
The station is back online after the station operator visited the station and restored communications between the digitizers and station computers.
2021.07.27
The station is down due to communications issues between the digitizers and station computers.
2019.10.25
The station was down day 2019,295 to 298 due to issues with connections to the digitizers and the station computers. IDA engineers worked with the station operator to resolve these issues.
2017.11.10
IDA engineers visited the station and replaced the KS54000 with a Trillium 360 seismometer, and installed a Hyperion Infrasound sensor, new station computers, and a weather transmitter.
2015.09.09
All channels from the KS54000 seismometer are non-seismic due to a faulty cable to the sensor.
2014.08.22
There was an extensive telemetry outage to the station from day 2014,108 to day 2014,234. The station operator had suspected a broken phone cable to the station caused by a storm with heavy winds. Telemetry to the station was restored with no data loss after an IDA engineer visited the station and replaced a faulty power converter/data transfer box causing a disconnect between the telemetry and DSL modem. While onsite the engineer also replaced the station computers and reconfigured the Setra barometer to input to the Q330-10 DAS. The East-West channels from the KS54000 seismometer are still corrupted due to cross-talk between the two horizontal elements of the seismometer.
2013.06.03
Telemetry to the station has been problematic since April 2013. There were several telemetry outages due to a faulty CVTELCOM cable to the station. Once the cable was repaired telemetry was restored with no data loss.
2013.01.14
IDA station SACV has been upgraded to a Quanterra Q330HR system. Sensors installed include a Trillium 120 posthole seismometer, an Episensor strong motion sensor, and a Setra microbarograph. Upon arrival an IDA engineer noted that the station not acquiring data since it went down day 2012,208, and data from the KS54000 seismometer was non-seismic once the station was brought back online. The cable from the KS54000 sensor to the KS-term box had corroded pins on the plug. The engineer soldered the cable to the KS-term box which restored data acquisition for the KS54000. However, the East-West component has been corrupted due to cross-talk between the two horizontal elements of the KS-54000 seismometer.
2012.07.30
IDA station SACV is down as of day 2012,208-20:41 due to power problems. Replacement batteries for the power system are being ordered to ship to the station.
2012.05.21
The voltage output of all three channels of the KS-54000 seismometer fell by a factor of 2.0 on 2011,167-15:00, after the DAS was replaced with one that contains an RT593 circuit board. The previous DAS contained 3 RT303 circuit boards with a least count of twice that of a DAS with an RT593 circuit board.
2011.06.17
