Under monitoring by E. Pompei. 2/27/2003 3:05:06 PM gandreon Problem will be tackled after the dewar replacement. 3/27/2003 2:53:13 PM gandreon Some improvements have been detected after intervention with ground connections. To be continued once the dewar is changed. 4/7/2003 6:24:51 PM gandreon GIH: EPO informed that actually the situation is critical, because on top of the noisy behaviour it is unstable. An urgent action is required. 4/15/2003 2:28:50 PM gandreon Interference source traced to camera and shutter control. They are being insulated to eliminate the interference. 5/6/2003 3:55:13 PM gandreon This action proved to be counterproductive ad it will be reversed. 5/27/2003 3:47:22 PM gandreon Noise level is now within specifications. 6/17/2003 3:58:36 PM gandreon Still some instability. 6/24/2003 2:59:04 PM gandreon A cable holder should be installed in order to stabilize the cable configuration and related pick-up noise. 7/15/2003 2:42:56 PM gandreon Wolfgang with revise the device together with Juan Carlos and Peter. 7/22/2003 4:50:30 PM gandreon Wolfgang will design something suitable to prevent cables movements when grating is changed. 8/3/2003 4:58:23 PM apizarro A provisory mechanical support was designed by W.

Action : The VME on the blue side should be moved in order to replace some of the added wights. The results of test last week lead to think the problem had been solved. This is false the blue ccd rack has not been moved and the upper left counterweight housing is full. The unbalance is now over 120 Nm which might explain that rotator sometimes switches to standby.

Action : A second transfer line should be purchased to give enough time for pressurizing before switching between two dewars. Action Log : 11/21/2002 3:55:49 PM gandreon Armin Silber is going to prepare it. 1/16/2003 2:41:18 PM gandreon One transfer line has been ordered by LGO. 3/20/2003 2:42:51 PM gandreon Lost somewhere. LGO is looking for it. 4/8/2003 3:49:07 PM gandreon Transfer line found in Garching. 5/6/2003 4:12:18 PM gandreon Msg from Coprosoft arrived today confirmed that the line transport is being processed in Garching. 5/20/2003 3:46:23 PM gandreon Arriving tomorrow! 6/16/2003 5:52:01 PM jpritcha NOT complete! According to Leo last week, he has the transfer line in his office, BUT it does NOT have a gauge. Therefore it must be modified and a gauge must be installed. Furthermore, since the gauge on the current transfer line is rather unreliable, I suggest that NEW gauges be bought for both the current transfer line AND the new one. Furthermore I suggest that these be of the SAME type as used by HARPS to evetually allow remote sensing. This will be better since it we will then have greater redundancy between the two instruments. 6/24/2003 3:01:50 PM gandreon The transfer line has to be completed. However the additional modification (Harps like) has to be considered in the frame of the upgrade project. 7/1/2003 2:47:27 PM gandreon Order for gauge placed today. 7/24/2003 9:36:28 AM apizarro L.Gonzalez is purchasing the LN2 level gauge to be installed to the new transfer system.
