The HVAC high temperature alarm was going off when we arrived this morning. Decreased the temperature set point on the HVAC to 66°F at 08:22. Temperature continued to increase. Decreased the temperature set point to 65°F at 09:28. Learned from ISU maintenance that there was an issue with frozen pipes and a subsequent malfunction in the building's heating and cooling system that was causing our HVAC system to compete with the building system to maintain temperatures. It is also possible that the AC unit outside was frozen. (Local temperatures were approximately -10°F this morning.) Increased temperature set point to 67°F at 11:33 and opened the garage door in the upper area outside the cleanroom to prevent HVAC system from overwork and decrease temperatures. Temperatures decreased and came within specifications for the remainder of the work day. Stringing work was halted from 07:30 to 11:30.

Sector 1 - DAQ Scintillator timing information now working (Ch. 96, 99, 104, 105, 106, 107)

Quad coincidence in all AND mode close to working, need to get a delay box for one channel so that the cable delay from the other three is compensated for on the one channel that is "faster" by 40 ns.

Drift chamber isn't putting out a normal signal to the pre-amp that's normal for gammas. Unknown what is causing this problem at the moment, may be an issue with our current triggering setup on the scope.

Sector 5 - Restringing and testing wires in SL1 that were out of spec. Rotated and aligned chamber for stringing repairs in SL2.

Cleanroom temperatures drifted out of spec this morning. Opened the garage door in the upper area to bring in colder air. Temperatures came back within specifications for the remainder of the day.

Sector 1 - Found that the HV supply board was not providing voltage to the Field wires. Began troubleshooting this issue.

Sector 5 - Restringing and testing wires in SL2 that were out of spec. Completed weekly Tension Trend test.

01/07/13

Finished replacing wires that were out of spec on Sector 5

Removed stringing machine and arm.

Rotated to potting position

01/08/13

Goal: Potting Sector 5

Completed potting one side of Sector 5.

Began training new stringer in potting, inspections, clean room use,...

01/09/13

Goal: Inspect potting, inspect feedthrough on next chamber (Sector 2)

Completed inspection of the potting on one side. It will cure for 24 hours and then be rotated so potting will be done on the remaining side. Inspected one side of Sector 2.

Found the following defective (feedthrough has blocked hole which can't be cleared or trumpet is damaged)feedthroughs

SL2 204-5 Bottom

SL2 166-10 Bottom

SL1 116-8 Bottom

George arrives Morning of 1/15/13 to instruct us on window and cover installation. HV boards have been soldered.

ask JLab for more wire cutters (>2)

01/10/13

Goal: Continue inspecting Sector 2's feedthroughs, organize parts for installing windows next week, begin potting final side on Sector 5, clean the clean room, then clean the top staging area..
