During the maintenance day today, amplified air to the T1 area was valved off in an attempt to pin point the location of the air leak. The air amplifier cycle rate returned to normal with the T1 line valved off, indicating the leak is somewhere on the T1 profile monitor air cylinders, the T1 septum polarity switch, or on the supply lines to these devices. Because these devices will not be used in the near future, the line will be left valved off. Eric Chapman has applied a defeat tag to the valve and made an entry on the Cyclotron Logbook.
The cause of the leak will be investigated further during the 2014 Fall Mini-Shutdown
