Entry  Tuesday, September 01, 2015, 10:32, Travis Cave, ITW, Standard Operation, TM2, ZrC #7, Module moved 

TM#2 with ZrC#7 has been moved from the conditioning station  to the west target station.

Entry  Tuesday, September 01, 2015, 10:38, David Wang, ITW, Maintenance, TM2, , ITW top tank flange clean up and r-ring replacement. ITW_o-ring_replacement_2015-09-01_008.JPGITW_o-ring_replacement_2015-09-01_007.JPGITW_o-ring_replacement_2015-09-01_006.JPG

During last run, ITW dump circuit had a water leak on an adaptor below the pressure gauge. The top tank flange, slot, and O-ring were water contaminated by the leak. I removed the old o- ring, cleaned up the flange and o-ring slot, and put a new o-ring into the flange. Some  pictures will be attached in this mail later.

Entry  Tuesday, September 01, 2015, 14:54, David Wang, ITW, Standard Operation, TM2, , TM2 has been connectec in ITW. 

TM2 has been connected in ITW. During the connection, Anders and I  found the TM2  high current cables used in ITE and CS are short in ITW.  Anders and Grant found the original TM2 ITE high current cables in target hall. We replaced them. They works fine. But, a little bit longer on cable length would be easy to connect them. All other connections and HV cover in ITW work for the TM2 so far.

I did a TM2 no target electrical check at SHC this morning. A to RU at 500v  is 250K which is low.   anode- x pin is dead short to 60kv bias. RU is dead short to 60kv bias( as before).   see attachment

Entry  Thursday, October 15, 2015, 14:17, chad fisher, South Hot-Cell, Repair, TM2, , Anode Connector Install and adjustment 20151015_085914.jpg

The TM2 containment box was removed this morning for installation of the 9 pin connector...connection.

The 9 pin connector copper tube connection was made and Anders advised on routing of the cable to the banana plug water block connection.

Short was diagnosed (short disappeared when water block was pushed slightly towards center of module) and thicker Ultem spacer installed and tested again. All good.
