The spent target vault door does not open or close. The emergency door closing did have to be used to close the door as it was locked in an open position, the door stopped just off the open override limit. The door was closed and the spent target that was being assayed was placed into the mini storage. The problem with the door appears to be related to the motor itself, as all the controls to the motor appear to be in working order. Also it was noticed on the emergency door closing winch the wire rope has a kink in it from sitting in open position for so long this can cause the wire rope to jump from the pulleys.
6/27/2016 Dan McDonald. Replacement motor was ordered from Beaver Industries Friday the 24th received this morning the 27th. Once received Travis wired the motor to its proper operating orientation. Once the motor was wired it was set it up and plugged it in to test rotation and control function, at this point we disconnected the motor and re installed it to the gear box. Ran three open close sequences to ensure all was well. In the case of the emergency cable system a plan is being developed to correct the cable slack and kinking problem. We went ahead and ordered a spare vault motor which is located in the RH Machine Shop |
