|
A rotary limit switch was installed, attached to the shaft adjacent to the drive motor for the vertical drive system. This limit switch is not yet wired
to the control system and operational - this will be done at a future date and the e-log will be updated.

|
An issue was observed in which the target hall crane was not functioning: the N-E-S-W and up/down motions did not work, however the rotation motion did
work. These symptoms were similar to what was observed in the past under https://elog.triumf.ca/TIS/RH-ISAC/2039
and https://elog.triumf.ca/TIS/RH-ISAC/1845 |

Wednesday, September 14, 2022, 13:45, Adam Newsome, Spent Target Vault, Development, , , Storage Vault: cable replaced and e-chain upgrade
|
The motor cable for the storage vault was replaced as the old one was showing signs of wear. The U-track that the old cable ran through was also bent
as a result of being hit.
In the process of replacing the cable, an e-chain was installed for cable management purposes. Mounting brackets were modified and a new U-track |

Friday, October 07, 2022, 14:46, Adam Newsome, South Hot-Cell, Development, , , Addition of lift table to E-stop circuit
|
A modification was made to integrate the hot cell's lift table into the E-stop circuit. See work permit I2022-10-07-1
The E-stop mounted on the right side of the small enclosure adjacent to the operator station will now serve to stop the lift table's up and down
motion, as well as the turntables up/down and CW/CCW motions. Functionality was checked by B. Webster (electrical services) and A. Newsome. |

Friday, December 16, 2022, 16:39, Adam Newsome, Crane, Standard Operation, , , Crane powered off for holidays
|
[edit 2023-01-03] The crane was powered back on this morning - there do not appear to be any faults and it seems that the crane was unaffected by the
power outage.
The ISAC target hall overhead crane was powered off for the holidays. Note that this may result in the commonly observed PLC battery failure issue |

|
The following three pails were moved from the main storage vault to the mini-storage vault:
1. #211, Ta#58 (formerly vault location 3C)
2. #217, ZrC#8 (formerly vault location 3A) |

Monday, March 06, 2023, 11:31, Adam Newsome, North Hot-Cell, Repair, , , Spare Telemanipulator: Y-Motion Linear Actuator Repair
|
The linear actuator used for the Y-motion motor assistance on the spare telemanipulator was replaced and tested. It was observed around September 2021
that the former one which was installed was causing fuses to blow for the main 120 VAC power supply in the control box. After some troubleshooting, it
was determined that the linear actuator itself did not operate smoothly - it was suspected that this caused motor overload due to additional friction. |

|
The spent target assaying turntable was repaired. It was tested today with a load exceeding the maximum it would need to handle during rotation (100
kg). It works as expected and is ready for operation. |

|
The pail handling tool which is used to move 5 gallon pails around the target hall was inspected by A. Newsome, N. Jorgenson, and E. Lahe. The main tool
as well as spare were checked for the following items. The tools are in good, working condition. It is noted that some fasteners on the hook assembly were
slightly loose, but have been tightened. |

The emergency close mechanism for the Storage Vault door was tested by Travis Cave, Nadia
Jorgenson, Adam Newsome, and Jason Zhang. The door was opened to its fully open limit, then closed with the emergency system.
The test was successful. |
