close shutter:

• close shutter T24/1 with the button "Beam  Shutter zu" (green) -> bottom green light next to the keys should go on
• close shutter T24 with the button "Beam  Shutter auf" (green) -> bottom green light next to the keys should go on
• turn all four keys -> (the top) 4 green lights should go out next to each pair of keys

go to T24/1 (LPTPC area):

• just open the door -> the two green and the big red lights go out

If you do not need the test beam any more:

• open door at test beam area T24 -> the two green and the big red lights go out
• call Control Room 3500
• switch off bending magnets

clear test beam areas:

go to T24 (front area):

• use (red) key from interlock
• go into T24 area, close door, use red key in keyhole next to door -> big red light on
• push the white buttons "Absuche" below the three red "Not Aus" (emergency stop) buttons
• go back to the door, turn key and keep it turned!
  • open the door, move out and close it again behind you
• now it is the time to return the key again -> two green lights should go on

go to T24/1 (LPTPC area):

• use (black) key from interlock
• go into T24/1 area, close door, use black key in keyhole next to door -> big red light on
• push the white buttons "Absuche" below the three red "Not Aus" (emergency stop) buttons
• go back to the door, turn key and keep it turned!
  
  • open the door, move out and close it again behind you
• now it is the time to return the key again -> two green lights should go on

power bending magnets:

• choose beam energy according to list sticked to monitor

get beam:

• phone Control Room 3500
• tell them to put the wire into DesyII at the position written in their lock book

open shutter:

• go back to hut
• put back the red and black keys into the interlock
• turn all four keys -> 5 green lights should be on next to each pair of keys
• open shutter T24 with the button "Beam  Shutter auf" -> bottom green light next to the keys should go out
• open shutter T24/1 with the button "Beam  Shutter auf" -> bottom green light next to the keys should go out
• now you should see beam

 -> start data taking

in hut:

• plug twisted pair cable from CCUM into PC (Attention - connector contains more pins, look at marks - use the most right pins when you look from the back of the PC))
• power on CCUM in spacing behind electronic hut
• switch on opto-electrical converter for FED (on top of PC (switch in the back) and switch on power supply (front))
• LV on -> 01,30 and 02,60 (two times)
• HV on -> 200V

T24/1

• power the scintillators for triggering
• move envelope into beamline - sledge front to sensor center is 220,5mm

-> switch on the beam
