This is a brief note accompanying some pictures that show how SI equipment is now stored in the  Australopers shed at the Regatta Grounds. 

A more detailed document about new SI procedures is being prepared by Sally Wayte

Kate Lucas, backed up by Rowan Wolf have taken over the SI management role from Martin Bicevskis

Basically everything SI related or electronic in nature is in two unlocked steel cabinets in the shed. 

A significant procedural change is that the wooden boxed MOAB (Mother Of All Batteries) is now the primary power source for ALL events where the Australopers trailer is used.  The MOAB is never removed from the trailer but left on charge to 240 volts while in the shed.  Its quite safe to leave the lead acid MOAB on charge indefinitely.  The MOAB is so bulky because the case contains a battery charger as well as an inverter.

It would be physically very difficult to close the side tilt up door over the thick charging cable as it passes from the trailer to a wall power socket and drive off.  But a memory task  equally important is reconnecting the MOAB the 240 power after the event.

If the trailer is not taken to an event, then either the lead acid or lithium ion Projecta Power Hub batteries in the steel locker should be taken for power.   These are fully charged and sealed with tape and the date of charging.  Notify Kate that if they have been used and need recharging .

The clear plastic cases used for small items on the registration desk have been replaced, relabelled and organised in such a way they are less likely to be misplaced. 

The computers will be held by Kate and Rohan so they can set up the events at any time.

Note that all the reserve stock of P cards is stored in the Wunderbar computer bag which will be at all events.  The computer operator using Wunderbar will also have any P cards that have been allocated to persons that have bought a P card on line for pickup at the event.
