Physical Condition excellent
07Feb2025 - Received repaired and calibrated. Placed in hold PAR/Altim/Fluor black Utz box. Jan 2025 - Received invoice then PO for cal and repair. October 2024 - Sent to Biospherical for repair and calibration. Before EN721 - cable near the connector was found to be intermittent and swapped with a different cable. PAR ball also had a dent. After EN720 CTD01 the PAR 70513 was removed and spare PAR 70709 was installed. Sensor did not work (voltage=0. No signal) for the first CTD cast of EN720. Did it work for the pre-cruise deck test? Deck test was not saved. Always Save the Deck Tests and keep with the cruise data!
