Argon venting TM2 at CS.

 The power supply is needed as a spare for the failed TGHT p/s in ITW

The corelation betwenn the local value on the gauge controllers and the read back valiues in EPICS was compared. Data can be found in a previous  e-log

TM#4 with Ta#46 has been moved from the south hot cell to the conditioning station.

TM#4 electrical check at the conditioning station with Ta#46 target.

Helium pressure test HS line at CS with 70 psi for 2 minutes. Base  leak rate 0.0xE-9atm.cc/sec. No response. The line is leak tight.

TM4 has been connected at CS. Turbo- pumps and water system are started and running . The HV cover has been installed on the module. Everything is good so far.

TCS:MP1 back up pressure went up too high (700mtorr).I turned off all the pumps.The TCS is under vacuum still. TCS water  package cooling fans showed error on control page.The water pumps are stopped  also.

Restarted the vacuum pumps 40 minutes after stopping. Everything is back to normal. The MP1 back up pressure need to be monitored frequently before we have a final solution on this issue.

Reset the CS cooling package on roof and restarted the water  pumps. The system is running good so far.

weekly update see attachment

I switched off CS vacuum pumps and water system after Isac opps finished the TM4 conditioning at CS.

 will be performed Tuesday October 6th

Tuesday, October 06, 2015: Maintenance re-schedlued for Wednesday October 7th

Weekly update schedule. TM3 evaluation schedule in Nov is added.  

update the schedule after  the cancellation of TM2 from SHC to CS trip.see attachments 3,4

TM#3 has been moved from the north west silo to the conditioning station.

Friday, November 06, 2015, 14:35: Roughing

Turbos was started around 4pm. Later it was found that the manual valve for the two turbo pumps on the service cap was closed. The valve was open and pumping resumed. The roughing vacuum was high and increased into Saturday morning. The vacuum system was switched off on Saturday.

Purged MP1 using the purging function. Performance recovered. Started rouging.

Monday, November 09, 2015, 09:18: Started TP1S

Monday, November 09, 2015, 09:22: Started TP1 and TP2

Monday, November 09, 2015, 09:33: All 3 turbos at speed

Leak found on F/T for multipin connector

Tuesday, November 10, 2015, 09:53: stopped turbos

O-rings were replaced on the service cap by Anders, Maico, Aurelia and Keith under work permit  I2015-11-05-5    

 One of the wires for the steerers had come loose and was reattached by Maico. Photo on DocuShare

Service cap leak checked this afternoon. Found multiple leaks of 10E-8 to 10E-7 range. Connected to the backing line with IG1 at ~4E-6 T, CG1A around 40 mT. Got responses around large round flange on top, rectangular side panels, water f/t on GND and water f/t on HV. Will resume leak checking tomorrow to attempt to pinpoint sources of leak more accurately.

Conducted a more thorough leak check this morning with Edi. He found a leak on the base of the  blue F/T insulator for the multi-pin connector (see attachment). I discovered that all the bolts could rotate freely in the threads as they were too small. The bolts were replaced. The leak rate was reduced but still significant. The o-ring will likely need to be replaced.

Tuesday, November 10, 2015, 17:00: Could not find new o-ring. Cleaned groove and o-ring and applied o-ring grease. Re-attached F/T.
