Thursday, September 13, 2012, 08:16: Opened up cooling water. Vacuum (IG1) increased from 5.9E-7 to 6.2E-7 before returning to 5.9E-7. Similar response on IG6 (valve closed). Response is however similar to previous (short time ~5 min) vacuum fluctuations.

Replaced swollen insulator and added Ta heat shield on insulator.

start cooldown. Found computer at teststand off. Somebody tried to login with username ARIEL.

Turned off the HV and the optics in the first section. Couldn't turn off the optics in the second section: left a message for Evgeniy.

Also TMS:RP2 is very noisy. Talked to Edi D. from vacuum group. He would work on it this afternoon. E-Fault#6282

Edi will replace TMSRP2 again as it became noisy since yesterday morning. Vacuum should not be affected by the work.

Started the cooldown.

Did another mass scan at 280A for the ionizer:

Ramping up the TBHT from 280A -> 290A

And from 290A -> 300A:

Friedhelm checked the voltage across R4 from ISK4563D-rev2.pdf. It shows 50 kOhms with the power supplies off and everything connected according to the drawing. With the Anode PS On and set at 20V, we could see the same readback on EPICS and on the meter.

Then started the heater ramping: auto ramp 2A/min.

We'd be watching the vacuum carefully during this process. Also the setup is such that:

- the target and tube heaters are only incremented if the vacuum is less than 5e-6Torr

- and if the vacuum exceeds 2e-5Torr the last increment of the target and tube heater is backed off.

Pierre asked for the 2e-5Torr limit to be changed to 8e-6Torr.

Anders asked to stop the heating at 500A to take a temperature measurement.

Raising the target heater from 500A to 580A.

Did a mass scan at TGHT=580A & TBHT=280A:  Plotdump-local-clean.txt Aug29 12 19-53-16.txt

http://isacwserv.triumf.ca/onlylocal/isac/IsacInternalFrameSet.html

Tested the power supplies and locked up the HV cage.

Turned on the HV: 30kV.

Tomorrow we'll start up the heaters: 580A for the target and 280-300A for the tube.
