TM3 has been connected in CS. All water supplies are bypassed theTM3 on the top of the service cap. TM3 TP2 was difficult to start. It is started finally after couple of time try.The pump runs fine now. |

Wednesday, October 14, 2014
The BIAS voltage was brought up between 1:30pm and 5pm. Sparks tripped the BIAS power supply at voltages between 20 - 24 kV. Multiple attempts were made. The current was about 50-60 uA.
Wednesday, October 15, 2014
Temperature in the cooling circuit is too hight to do a HV test. The cooling circuit was started, but shuts off after ~10 m
Thursday, October 16, 2014
David and I found that the fans on the cooling unit on the roof did not run and that the compressors get hot and likely trip on over temperature protection (hot to the touch). We found the manual in the control panel of the unit.
10am: HV to 20kV before a spark tripped the PS. Current at 40 uA - resistivity at 11.9 Mohm
5pm: HV to 20kV before fluctuations in current, then a spark tripped the PS. Current around 40 uA. Resistivity 12.6 Mohm
Friday, October 17, 2014
8am: Staging did not start over night. TS5 temp is 31 deg C, which would have tripped power supplies. Reset and enabled staging.
The system increased staging until all 3 compressors were running.
9am: Cooling supply temperature reached ~3 deg C. Disabled staging and switched off all pumps
2pm: Switched off water circulation for the weekend.

Monday, October 20, 2014, 09:13, David Wang, Conditioning Station, Development, TM3, , TM3 TP2 failed
|
TM3 TP2 stopped working this morning at 4:00 AM. I tried to start it but failed. On normal start mode , It could not pass 6K RPM. On soft start mode , the pump cant pass 17KRPM. Talked with Anders, We are not going to replace this pump since we are not going to run this module for a while. I will stopped all vacumm pumps on CS and TM3 this morning. |

Tuesday, October 06, 2015, 21:12, Aurelia Laxdal, South Hot-Cell, Repair, TM3, , TM3 service cap inspection in target hall
|
David Wang and I did the service cap inspection in target hall: see WP I2015-10-06-10.<br>
Signs of sparking were seen underneath 3 insulators: E ("Cavity"), A ("Oven+") and B ("Oven -") at the pair water lines coming out of the feed-through and going to the HV chase. Specifically one water line of E is very close to the feed-through insulator (2-3mm gap) and here the sparking sings are more prominent: see picture. |

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

Monday, November 09, 2015, 16:47, Anders Mjos, Conditioning Station, Maintenance, TM3, FEBIAD Test Target, Leak check of Service Cap
|
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. |

Tuesday, November 10, 2015, 10:23, Anders Mjos, Conditioning Station, Maintenance, TM3, , Air to vacuum leak on service cap
|
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. |
