11BMSDirect LI-20112/16/201309:00:00The Direct LI-201 sensor has been temporarily moved (swapped with the LI-190) to to the outer "piggy back" lower position on the tracker, so that the Direct Quantum LI-190 sensor would not be shaded by the ventilator on the tracker to the south of the instrument. Until it gets moved to the final upper position, the sensor will be shaded between approx 9:10 and 9:40 MST of every day.
12BMSDirect LI-20103/02/201313:06:0003/02/201318:24:00Due to a scheduled NREL power outage, to upgrade campus power capacity, 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. The Sci-Tec tracker for these insruments are protected by UPS, however the battery depleted at 13:06 MST (the power outage started at 8:06 MST)
