Category: Conditioning Station 
Type: Repair 
Module: TM4 
Target/Number: Dummy HP SIS target 
Subject: First TM4 conditioning with new source tray 

Ramping up TM4 with new source tray in. Current condition: new source tray but no water running in lines B, D or window. Multipin on the source tray grounded but no lines running into the service tray. Vacuum at 1e-6T.

Small sparks at each BIAS voltage increase starting at 30kV. First real spark around 38kV.

Going up in more than 100V steps causes spikes that take out TP2.

Monday, July 08, 2019, 14:54 : TP2 sparked off at BIAS/EZL = 44kV/25.1kV after 10mins at this point... will leave it here for a couple hours

Monday, July 08, 2019, 16:44 : 6 sparks in last 2hrs, some very strange vacuum response in which the pressure rose steadily and stayed high for 30mins before coming back to normal.

Monday, July 08, 2019, 17:25 : After 30mins at 45kV, started sparking, so will ramp down to 40kV and leave it overnight
