 It was found that the conversion from voltage to vacuum (Torr) in EPICS is not correct for the XGS-600 controllers in use at the TCS. EPICS did not correspond to local values displayed on the controller. An e-fault has been submitted.

Entry  Wednesday, December 02, 2015, 10:41, chad fisher, South Hot-Cell, Repair, , , Drum Clean-up #2 

Another drum of waste was removed from the south hot cell this morning. This drum contained one 5 gal steel pail (damaged), two sodium light bulbs, airlines, and tank suits. Upon removal the drum was/is 1.5 mSv/h on contact. there was 200 counts of contamination found on the lid...easily removed. It will be moved to the north hot cell at 11am.

Thursday, November 26, 2015, 15:43: Handed TCS over to ISAC operations


 Target heated over the weekend. EE went into current limiting (down to ~100 V) a while after the target was at temperature.


Monday, November 30, 2015

Target conditioned by ISAC operators to 30 kV without any problems.

EE current limit increased to about 26 mA in an attempt to recover. Cooling down target to investigate.
