Plant Services group (Tony) will contact a service tech on Monday.

Water system will be switched off over the weekend.

Thursday, July 14, 2016, 13:24: Claus from Daikin is on site to troubleshoot.

The VFD driven fan motor has failed. Temporarily blocked air-flow through failed fan to improve air-flow to radiator. A new motor will be ordered (Curtis).

Thursday, July 14, 2016, 15:39: Stopped cooling system for the day

Wednesday, August 24, 2016, 20:27: IG2 and IG1S on. Checked on water system.


Conditioning by ISAC operations. Water flow tripped power supplies after a few hours of conditioning at 580 / 230 A and 30 kV. See operations e-log for details.

Entry  Thursday, August 25, 2016, 08:36, David Wang, Conditioning Station, Standard Operation, TM2, , Helium pressure test on TM2 HS water lline  

I did a helium pressure test on TM2 HS water line at TCS. Leak detector base leak rate only could get to 1.8x e-8 atm.cc/sec at this moment. Applied 5 minutes 70psi helium on it. No leak has been found at this level. I connected water to this circuit after the test for weekend TM2 conditioning at TCS.

I will do another helium pressure test after the conditioning. The LD base leak rate should be 0.0Xe-9 atm.cc/sec at that time.

2016-08-29: LD Base leak rate 0.0xe-9atm.cc/sec.TM2 HS line helium pressure check again after conditioning. 70psi helium 5minutes. no response on LD. HS line is perfectly sealed.

Entry  Thursday, August 25, 2016, 08:43, David Wang, Conditioning Station, Standard Operation, TM2, , All TM2 connections to TCS are done. 

The HV cover is installed. The Faraday cage at B2 level is locked also.The TCS and TM2 are still pumping down. Everything is good so far.

Entry  Wednesday, September 07, 2016, 11:44, Travis Cave, Conditioning Station, Standard Operation, TM3, no target, module moved 

TM#3 has been moved from the NE Silo to the conditioning station.

Entry  Thursday, September 08, 2016, 16:28, David Wang, Conditioning Station, Repair, TM3, , TM3 blue insulators have been replaced. 

All TM3 blue insulators except Gas,EL, and 60 KV common  on top of the module have been replaced with new designed insulators. The new blue insulator for gas line need to be modified to fit for the bent on the gas  line.   EL, and 60KV common blue insulators were replaced during last time TM3 refurbishment so they are relative new, and  not replaced this time. All seals related to the blue insulators are changed to new seals. The o- r-ing surfaces  for o-ring 221 inside the  new insulators  are rougher than old parts. The module top need to be leak checked.

Entry  Thursday, September 08, 2016, 16:30, David Wang, Conditioning Station, Repair, TM3, , TM3 vacuum system have been connected at TCS. 

start of roughing now.

 start of TCS and TM3 turbo-pumps. Everything is good so far.

Entry  Monday, September 12, 2016, 09:25, David Wang, Conditioning Station, Repair, TM3, , TM3 leak checked at TCS 

After blue insulators replacement, TM3 service cap are leak checked. LD base leak rate 0.0xe-9 atm.cc/sec. I sprayed lots helium on all blue insulator seals. No leak has been found. Double checked them again, and got same result. All other seals on top of TM3 also have been checked. They are leak free. OVEN, TUBE, MSP, COIL, and EE water lines are pressurized with 70 psi helium for 3minutes each. They are good also.

Conditioning by ISAC operations

Saturday, September 24, 2016, 11:15: RGA on for heater conditioning. (kept off during HV conditioning)


Sunday, September 25, 2016, 07:44: TGHT and TBHT voltage jumps during heater ramping. Likely contact between target and heat shield. Contacted ISAC operations and asked to abort ramping at current values. TGHT/TBHT 500 /270 A


Monday, September 26, 2016, 08:22: ISAC operations resuming ramping to 550 A. Corrected TGHT voltage at ISAC TS was ~6.2 V at 580 A. Expected voltage at TCS would then be 6.2 + (3.4+2.9)E-3*580 = 9.9 V. Limit set at 9.5 V.

Monday, September 26, 2016, 09:09: Increased TGHT voltage limit to 9.6 V to allow it to reach 550 A.

Monday, September 26, 2016, 10:17: Voltage limit increased to 10.2 V which allowed the current to go to 575 A


Tuesday, September 27, 2016, 08:08: Conditioning complete. Ran at 575 / 270 A and 47 kV for about 1 hour. Conditioned cold to 49 kV.

Entry  Tuesday, September 27, 2016, 07:30, David Wang, Conditioning Station, Standard Operation, TM4, , TM4 has been disconnected at TCS 

TCS water system and vacuum system are turned  off this morning. The TCS and TM4 are vented.
