TBHT Power Supply is 600A. EPICS thinks it is 500. Multiply current setting with 1.2 for actual current to the tube.

Started March 31, 2014:

- did the HV conditioning up to 30kV.

April 1, 2014:

- started the Heaters Conditioning. 

Heaters Conditioning finished.

The Power Supplies front panel:

TGHT: 5.56V and 580A

TBHT: 2.23V and 227A

April 2, 2014:

- did a mass scan. NOTE: data is shifted by 10-15%.

After the scan finished I found the Test Stand EPICS screens whited-out. Decided with Friedhelm to leave it as it was for the night and to contact Controls next day to reboot it without tripping the heaters and the HV.

April 3, 2014:

Found everything recovered. Except: “SOURCES ARCH IS RUNNING” was red. So, I restarted it. Jane Richards and Friedhelm didn’t do any IOC reboot. Also found that the data from yesterday’s scan was saved (see the previous scan).

Did another mass scan:  plotdump-local-clean.txt_Apr3_14_10-18-13.txt

NOTE: data is shifted by 10-15%.

Cooling down .

HV and Heaters Conditioning had finished. The target was cooled down and it's ready for the on-line installation.

The performance of the roughing pump has gradually gone down. Notably after the system has been vented. See attached screenshot from the archiver. E-fault 7258.

A water leak on MB1 was found and reported by operations on June 10th e fault 7429

MB1 can not be switched on due to an TSH:MB1 water flow trip. Paddle wheel is rotating.

Wednesday, June 18, 2014, 14:03: Paddle wheel replaced with a used one from beam lines. Model SST150. Signal recovered.

Upon inspection it was found that the bolt attaching the FC to the actuator had fallen off. The bolt was reattached and FC0 can be actuated in/out again.
