Type: Standard Operation 
Subject: Lid up operation - 2022 

The lid up operation took place on Feb. 4, 2022.

The system was not energized well ahead of time to allow to "warm up", as is usually done. Upon starting, brakes were not energized - this was because of the master synchro position - once it was adjusted, interlocks for motor brakes toggled as expected.

Starting Master Synchro value: 61

Minor issue when first starting: after a few attempts to raise, jack 12 needed to be manually jogged to adjust its synchronicity with the others. After it was adjusted, the entire operation went smoothly and the system did not automatically stop again.

The system was stopped at approx. 3 inches of travel to inspect the seal, etc. Everything OK.

No major issues with any jacks. No overheating observed.

Jack 11 showed occasional noise spikes on readback (this happened in 2021 as well - suggest replacing this station's synchro next).

Meter stick hit the ceiling and bent slightly. The meter stick versus limit switch discrepancy could be due to the stick shifting slightly by accident (due to vibrations or accidentally being bumped by someone). The limit switches were trusted as it would be highly unlikely for them to both disagree with the meter stick simultaneously if there was an adjustment setting issue with them.The limit switches toggled as expected, and the gap was measured at 46.5" (correct value).

Ending Master Synchro value: 47387


Total time to raise was approx. 40 minutes.
