|
It was observed when attempting lid up operation on 2024-02-06 that the brakes for each of the jacks were not operating correctly. It appeared that power
was not being applied so the brakes were stuck in the engaged state. This ultimately resulted in issues with the lid up operation.
The issue was traced to relay A1 (the master brake power relay) not toggling as expected, despite the relevant control signals being present to |

|
It was observed during lid up operation on 2024-02-08, approximately halfway through raising the lid, that the motor contactor for station 10 located
within its small motor panel stopped functioning. The symptoms observed were: entire system stopped since station 10 lagged behind (approx. 150 counts
on counter), station 10 could not be jogged locally in either direction, the control signal to activate the motor was being sent to the contactor when |

|
Today (2024-02-16) when operating the lift trolley to install shields in the cyclotron, the vertical motion was observed to be intermittently working.
When the trolley was out of the cyclotron tank and on the carrier, troubleshooting showed that it was likely an issue with the motor relays. The relay
box was removed and the relays showed signs of wear due to ageing. The relays were replaced with new ones, and the box was reinstalled. The vertical motion |
