No leak detected on either He-detector (connected directly to Service Cap) or on RGA. See attached screen shots.

A vacuum increase (air only on RGA) was seen when de-pressurizing circuit I.

No Source Tray installed. Loop on cooling circuit D. All other circuits blanked off.

Voltages stated below are set point voltages. These corresponds reasonably well with the local read backs on the power supplies. The read back voltages in EPICS are somewhat lower.

 Found both VFDs with OF3 fault (over voltage during constant speed operation).

Thursday, January 08, 2015, 16:37: Cycled power on the chiller to clear faults.

Countersink problem with supports has been remedied. Scratches, dings, and pitting has been buffed out and supports re-cleaned and re-assembled.

Friedhelm was consulted regarding the appearance of fine scratches on the main stand-off insulators...the best two matching ones were chosen and assembly continued.

Alignment will start tomorrow.

TM2 Tray Alignment is complete except for verification with alignment tray.

First attempt results were:

Front Target: Low 0.011, Left 0.011

Rear Target: Low 0.013, Left 0.002

Final iteration:

Front Target: Vertical 0, Horizontal 0

Rear target: Vertical - 0.003 low, Horizontal 0

Pictures were very hard to get but are below...camera is impossible to get square to lens so pictures are not entirely representative of looking through transit.

TM2 tray alignment was confirmed with the alignment tray this morning:

Front target 0.000 vertically, 0.000 horizontally.

Back target 0.003 low, 0.000 horizontally

Also, the master target jig was installed and measurements taken:

Front master target - 0.007 high, 0.000 left/right

Rear Master Target - 0.007 high, 0.000 left/right

Rear tray target - 0.003 low

On Tuesday morning I attempted to complete assembly of the source tray for TM2 however discovered that 3 1/4-20 x 0.25 titanium helicoils had not been installed into the mounting plate as they should have been. Checked and asked around for them but to no avail. I have ordered some, they should have been here yesterday.

Also, I have noticed that the threaded portion of the target pins ITA0328A appear to be too long and as such may be (are indeed) touching the supports. I am going to remove 1/32" or appropriate to remedy this problem (drawing shows 0.035 clearance).

Missing heli coils installed this morning.

Threads had to be chased with tap for 1/4-20 heli coil and missing countersinks hand applied to allow for installation. Care was taken to ensure no "swarf" was spread and operation was super clean. Chased holes blown out with canned air and a vacuum placed on the other side.

Final assembly can and will now continue.

Master target jig installed to locate attachment bracket ITA3389 as well as conductor insulator block b (aluminum / for soldering version) and oven conductor blocks (ITD0353 and 03356). 

There were NO ITA6145 fasteners or TGN0076 either. Standard 1/4-20 x 1" fasteners have been used in there place for now. Keith is following up with getting the missing fasteners into the shop.

Oven conductor blocks will have to be lapped before lines are attached as they both have dents on the high current mating surfaces.

TM#2 with no target and no source tray has been moved from the conditioning station to the north east silo.

TM2 optics tray is complete.

Master alignment tray: 0 up/down, 0 left/right

Optics tray: Front 0 up/down, 0 left/right. Middle 0 up/down, 0 left/right. Back 0 up/down, 0 left right.

The MK4 optics tray prepared for TM2 (as per ITA6082) had an undersized bore for the banana plug, making insertion of the plug extremely difficult / impossible.

Reference stores parts were collected to check the fit:  male plug 3-4/01152 and female jack 1-6/1201.  The size of the female jack was checked with a #21 drill at .159".

The bore on the optics tray was drilled out dry using the #21 drill to the same depth as the original blind hole, by Maico and Dan McDonald.  Chips were carefully collected in a rag, and the hole was blown out with compressed air.

The fit was checked to be snug but possible, using the male plug and the Remote Handling ultem base (ref ITA6023).

Redlines and photos are attached.

On drawing ITA6008 for the Encole 0.5" ceramic standoffs there is a note to match pairs of ceramics to within +/-0.001". This step was missed on the current build of TM2 source tray (ceramics were not measured).

Measured the lengths of the rest of the ceramic standoffs in inventory and they range from 0.5035" to 0.4950" in length. The ceramics have been sorted by length and grouped into bags.

The water blocks soldered to the TM2 cooling lines (see Ref. Assy. ITA6144) were inspected.

See attached inspection reports and drawings.

It was found that only 18% of the seal groove diameters and 55% of the depths were in spec.

The source tray must be tested on the test stand with c-seals to ensure that these blocks will seal properly on the module.

TM#2 with no source tray has been moved from the north east silo to the south hot cell.

Containment box has been removed in preparation for wire replacement.

Target Hall Scheduled Activities  April 07 - June 26  2015 update.      2015-05-01. All TH scheduled jobs are finished on time this week.

Old wiring was removed yesterday, new wiring run thru the vacuum chase. Old IMG gauge removed today, new cable trays installed and wires installed into cable trays.

Wires for TM#2 steering elements, and png gauge have been run down to the containment box level. Chad has placed them in the little cable trays. Slack has been pulled back. and termination of the wire will be done on the 7th of May. A modification was done to the signal line of the png gauge wire ultem block, as grounded screw was inserted to allow for strain relief so the end would hopefully quit breaking. See attached pictures for the details.
