  15   Tue Nov 3 11:18:46 2009 Stephan HänselSetupBeam Off

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

  14   Tue Nov 3 10:45:01 2009 Stephan HänselSetupBeam On

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

  13   Mon Nov 2 13:59:09 2009 Stephan HänselSetupToDo before 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
