Entry  Tuesday, November 10, 2015, 10:23, Anders Mjos, Conditioning Station, Maintenance, TM3, , Air to vacuum leak on service cap TM3_Service_Cap_Leak.pdf

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.

Steerer wire had disconnected again. See DocuShare for photos.

Entry  Monday, November 16, 2015, 10:37, David Wang, Conditioning Station, Repair, TM3, , TM3 has been disconnected at TCS. 

I stopped the TM3 and TCS vacuum pumps and water system. The TM3 is disconnected and vented. It will be moved to silo this afternoon.

Entry  Monday, November 16, 2015, 13:59, Travis Cave, Conditioning Station, Maintenance, TM3, no target, Module moved 

TM#3 has been moved back to the NW silo.

Entry  Monday, May 09, 2016, 08:43, David Wang, Conditioning Station, Repair, TM3, , I reinstalled all the side panel on TM3 service cap. 

They were moved for TM3 inspection job last week. All the bolts on the panel are hand tight only now since they will be removed out for camera installation during next stage inspection.

Entry  Tuesday, May 31, 2016, 09:45, Travis Cave, South Hot-Cell, Standard Operation, TM3, no target, module moved 

TM#3 has been moved from the NE Silo to the south hot cell.

Electrical check of TM#3 no target at the south hot cell. see attached for results.

Entry  Thursday, June 02, 2016, 11:59, David Wang, South Hot-Cell, Repair, TM3, , 5K mega test on TM3 5K_mega_check_on_TM3.pdf

I did a 5KV mega test on TM3.  Only5Mohm @5kV between coli line PQ and chassis(ground). It confirmed the close gap between P,Q and GE. Other lines are ok. See attachment.

See attachment for sparking signs of the water lines mentioned  above (Coil and Ground Electrode lines) in TM3 Source Tray.

Entry  Friday, June 03, 2016, 11:35, Travis Cave, South Hot-Cell, Standard Operation, TM3, no target, module moved 

TM#3 has been moved back to the north east silo.

PLEASE NOTE: the resistance values for A and B on David's attachment are not correct since these measurements were done after Chad removed the target and the heat-shield bracket was moved, so consequently the water lines were not at their nominal locations. Once they were back in plac,e David took another measurement and the resistance values for A and B showed also 3,000 MOhm (as it was for most of the lines). The only lines that still showed a low resistance were the Coil lines.

TM#3 is now in the south hot cell.

Entry  Monday, July 18, 2016, 14:14, David Wang, Conditioning Station, Repair, TM3, , TM3 leak checked at TCS 

Last Friday July-15, TM3 was leak checked at TCS. All air to vacuum seals on service cap are good.  Helium pressure test on  TM3 water lines(except GE, HS, and Window) were done. Leak detector has no response at 0.0xE-9 atm.cc/sec. They are leak free.

Friday July 15: did HV tests (with no target installed and with the anode wire removed ). <br>

TM3 went up to 22.5kV. At this voltage it started sparking. The EL was kept at 1/2 with respect to the HV BIAS. <br>

Also HV tests were done while the EL was kept at zero V. In this case, the EL voltage was once in a while spiking  up (up to 4kV). <br>

During sparking we saw responses in the vacuum. Checked the Service Cap (with the HV Cover) in the Target Hall: we couldn't hear/see sparks there.  <br>

The HV was turned off in the same day, after 5:30pm.

Entry  Friday, July 22, 2016, 10:57, David Wang, Conditioning Station, Repair, TM3, , TM3 has been moved and connected at TCS 

I started vacuum system.

I started TCS water system. The chiller does not work properly still. But, It will not affect the TM3 HV conditioning.  HV cover is installed on TM3 in TH. The module is ready for HV conditioning.
