Action : To build a special slip-support allowing the displacement of the FF lamps array up and down. On this way the operator could take the lamps down for replacing the burned ones and then relocate the lamps on the working position. Action Log : 5 de November de 1998 12:50:05 PM gandreon Material ordered was only partially dellivered (half of requested rails). Deadline changed. 19 de November de 1998 7:54:18 AM weckert Work will start today in the workshop. 7 de January de 1999 12:57:51 PM gandreon Two rails still missing (late delivery) 18 de February de 1999 12:59:13 PM gandreon Rails arrived.

Action : When occurred a General Power failure,our Emergency Exits System doesn't work. We needed a Reliable System. First priority is to repair the exisiting lamps. Install the emergency system on the Control Room EXIT stair. The Circular corridor. Emergency Doors specially. Action Log : 5 de November de 1998 12:50:41 PM gandreon GAN will have a look to the battery replacement problem. 7 de January de 1999 12:58:22 PM gandreon Arrived. They will be installed this week. 14 de January de 1999 1:48:46 PM gandreon Emergency lamps will be installed as soon as the TT will decide where to put them. However, more signal lamp (with just the "Exit" indication) are needed. TT will provide number and locations of these signal lamps. 1 de February de 1999 11:49:08 AM gandreon Catalog for the selection of appropiate item provided to the TT. Waiting for answer. 4 de March de 1999 1:44:13 PM gandreon PR has been issued according to list provided by NTTT. 11 de March de 1999 12:59:06 PM gandreon PO for urgent signals is now out. Other lamps were no longer availables and suggested replacements are very expensive. Some other model has to be found.

Action : Mechanical modification to the cover in front of the window may solve the problem. The problem is urgent since this is the period of the year that is most affected by condensation. We need a solution as soon as possible. Please move back the deadline! Action Log : 30 de December de 1998 12:43:50 PM gandreon Problem became urgent due to atmosferic conditions during summer. A prompt delivery is required by the TT. 7 de January de 1999 12:59:16 PM gandreon It only affect SOFI because SUSI has its own system (N2).

As these events are quite common, and the manual is too heavy for the quick reaction requested, the INC will provide: - Simplified check lists for most common events. - Training to NTTT operational people and to detector technicians. Action Log : 22 de February de 1999 10:30:23 AM uweilenm A new training will be organized in March for both turnos. 11 de March de 1999 1:00:08 PM gandreon Preparation of the condensed manual is being delayed.

We were told that - workshop was too workloaded - the kind of boxes we always used until now at NTT are unnecessarily expensive and that it should be possible to buy some from a catalog . We therfore got a catalog from W. Eckert and after agreeing with Alain Giliotte we ordered 20 units of the model which better looked to fit our needs FOR TEST. It appears CLEARLY that these boxes are very cumbersome and even dangerous to contain filters, specially DM 8000 ones. So we still do not have a safe filter storing solution at NTT. Our ideal solution is to get maufactured manufactured anywhere 15 susi2 filter boxes ( 9 filters to arrive this year ) 5 emmi filte boxes ( spares ) 10 transparent lids ( to replace opaque emmi lids) The models we have in use now are satisfacory except opaque emmi and a little shape detail on susi2 lids. Action Log : 3 de February de 1999 2:09:13 PM gihle The time required to manufacture these boxes is : - To make the filter boxes, SUSI2 or EMMI : 3.5 hours each box plus cover. Total: 70 hours. - To make the transparent covers : 2 hours each. Total : 20 hours All material must be ordered under NTT budget. 11 de February de 1999 12:57:29 PM gandreon It will be carried out as background job. Few boxes are supposed to be delivered fairly soon.

Action : An engineering panel should be implemented for easy change of offset values of the three wheels. Action Log : 25 de February de 1999 1:13:06 PM gandreon The programmer reported that it's a lot of work for an operation seldomly needed. Instead, she can prepare half a page with the instruction that any programmer can apply in order to change these values directly in the data base when needed. Responsible : Software&Commun.Supp.T.

Action : It should be opened and checked before next run. Action Log : 25 de February de 1999 10:04:03 AM agilliot Instabilities in Caspec on cross-dispersion has been reported since long time and was a pending problem. The long camera was suspected at that time. The spectrum shift was around 4 or 5 pixels in cross-dispersion for large telescope ZD moves. It was then requested to the astronomer to perform Th calibration for each telescope orientation to monitor the spectrum shift. If the spectrum shift is now larger, something new occured of course and must be investigated. If the shift is about the same values as found in the past then the required work is more important and not justified if the instrument is only requested for one more run before the decomissioning. Alain Gilliotte 11 de March de 1999 9:04:45 AM agilliot Same comments done on Problem report. The caspec should be installed on second floor to check the performances 26 de March de 1999 4:31:40 PM agilliot after an instrument check, we found that effectively something was loose in Caspec !. The Red Cross disperser had its coupling unit loose between the grating and its motor ... justifying the instability Further tests will be done to monitor the flexure and check eventual focus instability.
