I’m sorry for the duplication however I did several searches prior to posting but apparently I didn’t include the key words, nothing came up. I didn’t suspect the battery because of the issue with the dates changing from 9/26 to 9/24 on the display on the website as the last data dump…[Read more]

I’ve noticed several discrepancies in the data. For example I looked first thing this morning and the last displayed/recorded data was yesterday (9/26).

I should have thought of that. There’s nothing being recorded so it would make sense that it’s the processor that failed. I do have a spare processor. I’ll have to try replacing it. That would probably be the easiest thing to try.
Thanks for your help. It’s greatly appreciated.

The unit is a water monitoring station that has a CTD (conductivity, temperature and depth) sensor in the stream, in a remote section of the stream’s headwaters and the electronics are in a Pelican Box on the stream bank, mounted to an iron pipe. (see photos below) The only wires coming out run from the pelican box to the sensor and from…[Read more]

I thought I had found the problem but, I was wrong. However, to be honest I don’t know if I have a Decagon CTD-10 or a Meter Group Hydros 21. My invoice calls out a “CTD-10Hydros 21”. The Quick Start Guide calls out a Decagon CTD-10 but I thought I ordered a Meter Group Hydros 21. I have no idea if this even makes a difference.

I guess it’s possible the battery is dead, although it’s new.  I also just saw that the day, date and time are not changing.
