TM#2 with SiC#39 has been moved from the east station to the smp.

 The spent targets SiC#38 and UC#29 have been removed from the spent target vault and placed into the mini storage. See attached PDF for details.

 Results from the electrical check with the old SiC#38 target and the new SiC#39.

Helium pressure leak check on TM2 HS line at TCS is done. No leak. Also, Helium are sprayed to gas line adapter and fittings. No leak. TM2 is connected at TCS. Anode plug on TCS is connected to module 52pin connector. Water system is started. Vacuum pumping down is good. HV cover will be installed today.

Thursday, November 07, 2019, 10:35: Tested source to 30 A on TGHT, TBHT and COIL. ANODE at 100 V.

Tuesday, November 12, 2019

The FEBIAD source worked well over the weekend. The anode current limit was adjusted twice to stop voltage limiting. About 5E-8 A on the FC with TGHT=580A, TBHT=300A, ANODE=200V,150 mA, COIL=50A. Bias was conditioned to 30 kV

TM2 was moved from the Conditioning Station to ITE, with SiC#38 target.

 TM#2 with SiC#38 has been moved from ITE to the south hot cell.

 The results of the electrical check of TM#4 with SiC#37, see attached PDF.

 TM#4 with SiC#37 has been moved from the south hot cell to the conditioning station.

Thursday, October 19, 2017, 16:46: BIAS / EL / EE at 45 / 22.5 / 0 kV

Thursday, October 19, 2017, 17:16: 30 min without sparking. Lowering to 0. Continue conditioning tomorrow.

Friday, October 20, 2017, 08:22: Resuming HV conditioning

Friday, October 20, 2017, 08:44:  BIAS / EL / EE at 45 / 22.5 / 0 kV

Friday, October 20, 2017, 09:48: No sparking. Continue conditionoing

Friday, October 20, 2017, 10:40: BIAS / EL / EE at 50 / 22.5 / 0 kV

Friday, October 20, 2017, 11:30: HV spark (at 52.5 kV) tripped TP2 and TP1s resulting in IG1S and power supplies tripping.

Friday, October 20, 2017, 13:50: Gelo is troubleshooting flickering on/off of ANODE, TGHT and TBHT power supplies.

Friday, October 20, 2017, 13:51: BIAS / EL / EE at 50 / 25 / 0 kV

Friday, October 20, 2017, 14:26: BIAS / EL / EE at 55 / 28 / 0 kV

Friday, October 20, 2017, 14:37: TP2 tripped on spark

Friday, October 20, 2017, 14:51: Gelo has determined there is a communication problem with the PLC on the HV platform. Troubleshooting continues.

Friday, October 20, 2017, 19:02: Troubleshooting did not succeed. Not able to control power supplies. Troubleshooting continue on Monday.

Monday, October 23, 2017, 09:00: After starting the TCS again today communication has been reestablished. Started heater conditioning.

Monday, October 23, 2017, 14:03: Heater ramping previously aborted and ramp down started due to ongoing PLC communication issues. TGHT and TBHT power supplies tripped on timeout around 13:45. Gelo will continue the troubleshooting.

Monday, October 23, 2017, 19:55: Switching off source after operating for 5 hours without any communication glitches detected (fiber optic communication cables swapped between HV platform and BIAS/EZL PLCs)

 TM#4 with SiC#37 has been moved from the conditioning station to the east target station. A measurement was taken on TM#4 as it was being removed from the conditioning station, the location was on the side of the service tray access panel approx one metre away and the cover fully exposed, the reading was 750uSV/hr.

On maintenance day Tuesday, the roughing of the target station could not go below 1.5 Torr. A brief troubleshooting on Tuesday was unsuccessful in determining the cause. Leak checking continued on Wednesday by David and Anders. A leak was finally found on the multi pin connector feedthrough due to the seal between the connector and flange on top of the nylon insulator. Upon re-tightening the connector, the leak could be stopped and the module pumped down to allow starting of turbo pumps.

TM disconnected by David and Yasmine Feb 8th

 TM#4 with SiC#37 has been moved from the East Target Station to the South Hot cell.

 Electrical check of TM#4 with SiC#37 attached post beam. A short was found between the Einzel Lens and Chassis. See attached PDF for details.

 SiC#37 has been moved from the South Hot Cell to the Spent Target Vault. It was placed in Pail #165 and put in spot 3B of the vault and it measured 25.8mSv/hr upon removal from the hot cell. See the attached PDF for details

This afternoon Ta#51 was removed from TM2 and SiC#36 installed.

All new fasteners used. High current fasteners torqued to 130 in lbs.

TM#2 with SiC#36 has been moved from the conditioning station to the west target station.

The electrical check of TM#2 with SiC#36 attached. Post beam at the south hot cell. See attached results allow the before beam electrical check results are posted here as well.
