<p>9:10 Set heaters temperature 300 -> 250 C in preparation for cooling down and to help keep DSSD temperature down. Started activating set 6 (3 X DSSD) at 120 W as per previous procedure.</p>
<p>9:15 Realised previous choice is a mistake in the current configuration as the DSSD TC is closer to set 5. Set 6 off. Set 5 to 60W. No effects in temperature. Ramped slowly to 200W. No immediate effect in temperature, while vacuum goes up.</p>
<p>9:30 Started activating set 6 at 300W (=100 per module). This should give us the best feedback on DSSD temperature from the only TC we have since they should all be at similar temperatures. </p>
<p>9:40 DSSD TC shows temperature decreasing rapidly (-17C/h). That's nonsense. The TC cannot be working properly, which means activation is now quite dangerous. Looking at strain relief TC instead from now, which is still at 85C. Set 5 down to 30W for safety while set 6 finishes ramping up.</p>
<p>9:45 DSSD TC still reading nonsense at 35C cooling by 20C per hour. Strain relief TC at 85C heating up by 10C per hour is more realistic. Vacuum worsening as set 6 reached 300W. Immediately ramped down to 120W. Leaving for 30 minutes, or less if strain relief temperature increases too much.</p>
<p>9:57 Strain relief heating quickly at 90C. Decided to turn off ALL negs for safety. Set heaters to 200C.</p>
<p>10:18 Strain relief temperature finally slowing down heating rate. DSSD TC beings displaying increasing temperature. The TC wire on the TC-08 module is clearly damaged.</p>

<p>After lunch, turned on the four ion elements of the D-2000. Pump#4 is not working, and apparently module #2 also has issues. Used module #4 on pump#2 to get three working pumps. Others will have to be investigated when the tent is removed and we can have some access to the pumps.</p>
<p>Tried closing gate valve to turbo. Vacuum does not seem to really improve. Opened. Will try again tomorrow morning.</p>
<p>Vacuum division ion pump on as well.</p> |
