" MAGNET ELEVATING CONTROL SYSTEM "

READY : Push and hold the "LOWER" button for five seconds.....

more When the elevating system is running, make continual checks of all "moving parts". Walk around and listen to for any unusual noises from the jacks and other sources.
Check the ISIS level and ontop the lid. Check that come... the braided S.S. cooling and air lines are not interfering with anything.
One person must stay near the pendant so as to be able to stop the system as quickly as possible if it is deemed necessary.

1.2 AFTER THE LID IS DOWN :

[   ] Record the final data on the checklist
[   ] Coil up and repalce the pendant
[   ] Install HE 3, take care installing the "O" ring and clamp and reconnect motor cable (see 2.8)
[   ] Replace the previously removed latching port cover but do not clamp !
[   ] Raise the Inflector assembly (see 2.4)
[   ] Tank lighting OFF (three plugs in vault basement)
[   ] Set the elevating control system switches to : OFF/ON , NORMAL/TEST , HAND/AUTO , LOCAL/REMOTE
[   ] Remove the elevating system control centre keys and lock the cabinet door
[   ] Record the operation in the main log book noting any anomalies
[   ] Remove all interlock defeats installed for this operation
[   ] Attach the motor current graph to the completed checklist

2. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

2.1 RESONATORS : LATCHING / UNLATCHING

At this time the R.F. Group will take care of latching and unlatching. Operations should assist with items such as :

a, periscopes :

cameras installation

raising / lowering

b, confirmation of unlatched/latched signals

LATCH : by turing the tool Counter Clock Wise

UNLATCH : by turing the tool Clock Wise

2.2 ALIGNMENT OF THE FLUX GUIDE TULIPS

  1. Obtain the custom plumb bob from the cabinet in the S.W. corner of the vault.
  2. Insert the large end (bob) into the tulip socket of the lower resonator.
  3. Insert the small end into the hole in the lower end of the tulip. This enables the bob to swing free in the socket.
  4. Adjust the tulip so that the bob is centered in the socket.
  5. Repeat for the other three tulips.
  6. Replace the bob in the cabinet.

2.3 MOTOR CURRENT DATA ACQUISITION PROGRAM : VAX SYSTEM

  1. Log onto DEVBN1 (or BN2)   Note: Run a backup scan on another cluster
  2. Type " elevate "
  3. Q : " Is this going to be a lid-up "
  4. enter " No "
  5. Q : " Press ENTER to continue " Do so and the program will start and open appropriate windows.
  6. Q : " are you happy with this and ready to start taking data?"
  7. Press ENTER to continue and the scan will start.
  8. When the Lid is down press "Ctrl A" to stop the scan and save the data. Note the save file name in the e-Log.

2.4 INFLECTOR : RAISING / LOWERING

The Inflector/Deflector assembly is raised and lowered by a motor and gear mechanism located in the vault basement on the South side of the cyclotron
centre support structure. The motor is controlled via an 0446/1 controller at the East side of the structure. The controller has a local/remote switch, four
buttons with associated large lamps and two small lamps. The definitions are :

BUTTON FUNCTION LAMP INDICATION

Yellow : stop motor large Yellow : power on

Green : start motor large Green : motor running

White : select raise large White : raise selected

Blue : select lower large Blue : lower selected

small blue : at REV ( lower ) limit

small white : at FWD ( upper ) limit

PROCEDURE :

  1. Ensure that the Local/Remote switch is in Local.
  2. Plug the controller into the nearest outlet.
  3. Check that the Yellow lamp is lit. If not check power/fuse/bulb etc.
  4. Select Raise or Lower by pressing the White or Blue button. Observe that the large White or large Blue lamp lights.
  5. Start the motor by pressing the Green button. The Green lamp should light.
  6. Observe that the motor shaft is turning. The motor will stop automatically when the upper or lower limit is reached.
  7. Ensure that the cryopump He lines and control cables do not get hung up.
  8. Ensure that the upper or lower limit is reached by observing that the FWD (small white) or REV (small blue) limit lamp is lit.
  9. Unplug the controller and stow the cord neatly.

2.5 Al-ALCW WATER SYSTEM SHUTDOWN

Check if the Main Magnet booster pump (ME-7) is off. If yes go to 3, otherwise 1.

  1. Reduce the system pressure to 70 lbs. by closing Al-ALCW pump (ME-5) discharge valve D-10.
  2. Turn off the Main Magnet booster pump (ME-7).
  3. Begin closing the Al-ALCW pump (ME-5) discharge valve D-10. When the discharge pressure is less than 40 lbs., turn off the pump.
  4. Continue closing valve D-10 until fully closed.
  5. Close surge tank (ME-45) isolation valve D2.

2.6 MAIN MAGNET "OFF FOR 30 MINUTES" INTERLOCK

Main Magnet Power Supply control power Must Be ON to provide this signal.

The "Main Magnet off for 30 minutes" signal is provided by a switch located in the Main Magnet control and metering cabinet. This air operated switch labelled
"AGASTAT timing relay" is mounted inside the cabinet high up and to the rear on the left (west) wall beneath the sign "SAFETY MAGNET INTERFACE".
If the control power is left on for thirty minutes after the main magnet is turned off, then this relay will "time out" and correctly provide the "...off 30 min." signal.
However if the control power is not left on the relay will not time out and the signal will not be supplied. In this case turn the control power on, force the relay to
"time out" by rotating the setpoint dial (engraved black dial on top) to ZERO. Once this is done the dial can and must be to set back to 30 minutes.

If the control power is off or the above does not work, then the signal will need to be bypassed. This can be done in one of two places :

  1. Level 264, C.S.S. rack, elevating system interlock box. Terminal #5 (yellow wire) ( see 5.1 )
  2. Main Magnet power supply control cabinet, upper left (west) wall, vertical terminal strip, top two terminals, cable 6501. Connect the terminals together. Disconnect when finished !

2.7 MAIN MAGNET POWER SUPPLY WATER FLOW SHUT OFF

Do this 30 minutes after the magnet was turned off. Check CSS Elevating System page for confirmation of " Off 30 minutes ". Close supply valve ( S ) to the M. Mag.
power supply ( north of M.Mag P.S. control cabinet ). Adjust the Cu-LCW system ( RF floor ) pressure to 100 psi using valve A-8 on pump ME-14.

2.8 HE3 PROBE : REMOVAL / INSTALLATION

Removal :

  1. Undo and remove clamp
  2. Pull probe housing back to mark ; initially the housing may have to be "bumped" a bit to free the "O" ring before it can be pulled back
  3. Disconnect the motor cable at the probe to prevent operation while retracted.

Installation :

  1. Inspect "O" ring surfaces , clean if necesssary
  2. Inspect "O" ring , replace if necessary , clean and grease otherwise
  3. Install "O" ring on ? retainer ?
  4. Insert probe housing taking care not to pinch "O" ring
  5. Install and tighten clamp
  6. Reconnect the motor cable to permit normal operation.

2.9 SPILL MONITOR HIGH VOLTAGE

The high voltage for the cyclotron tank spill monitors must be switched off for both equipment and personnel safety. The power supplies are a double width "J&P" NIM
module type NM121D. It is located in second NIM bin from the top of rack 4A on S.A. level 264. The module is labelled HIGH VOLTAGE SUPPLY.
There are two toggle switches labelled ON and OFF, just above the two output cables. These ON/OFF switches are correctly labelled, but their action is the reverse of normal.
UP is OFF , DOWN is ON ! Ensure that the switches are in the correct position for the desired state.

2.XX More instructions for other systems

3. OVERVIEW

The Triumf cyclotron elevating system is used to raise the top half of the cyclotron four feet to allow access to the interior of the cyclotron tank.

The elevating system consists of twenty four screw jacks arranged in twelve pairs. Each jack screw is driven by a worm gear with a gear ratio of _____ to one.
Each screw jack worm gear is driven by another worm gearset (Highfield) with a sixty to one gear ratio. Each pair of Highfield gearsets is driven by one double-ended
twenty horsepower electric motor. Each motor is equipped with an electrically operated amarture brake.

One of each pair of screw jacks is connected to a mechanical counter and phase translator. The mechanical counter reads out the height of the jack in inches.
The phase translator sends a signal to the elevating control system where it is compared with a master servo reference signal. The control system determines
if the motor should be ON or OFF during the lifting/lowering cycle depending on the relative position of the jack and reference. The reference moves at a rate of 0.025"/sec
while the jacks move at 0.030"/sec. Therefore the motors are constantly being cycled on and off to keep the entire system in alignment.

The range from fully down to full up is about four feet, 0.165" - 47.506" as indicated by the master synchro counter. Full travel takes about 27 minutes.

4. TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

4.1 BYPASSING C.S.S. INTERLOCKS

This procedure should only be carried out by the Shift Supervisor or designate and only when one hundred percent confident that the interlock condition is satisfied, but is not indicating correctly.

On level 264 locate the C.S.S. Elevating System Interface box which is mounted in the top of the east side of the safety rack that is located near the west staircase.

Internally there are three rows of components. From the east side rows one and two are the signal relays. Row three is two 24 terminal fast-on strips for the relay coil connections.
The east strip is the individual coil connections andv the west strip is the common coils buss.

Use this guide to determine which terminals are associated with which interlocks. The terminals are numbered from south to north. To bypass an interlock, use a jumper wire to connect
the appropriate terminal on the east strip to any terminal of the west strip.

If the interlocks are all satisfied then pushing the "Enable P.B." will cause the enabled LED to light and the status on the C.S.S. display page will change from "DISABLED" (red) to "ENABLED" (green).

4.2 VACUUM TANK AT ATMOSPHERE SWITCH

As it is difficult to determine the difference between at atmosphere and under just a few mm of vacuum this switch does not operate 100% reliably and may have to be
attended to in order to get it to read at atmosphere correctly.

This switch is located in lower valley 6, on port IB, near the middle of the valley, between LQ2 and LQ3 resonator #6 tip drives. The switch is in a 4" diameter 1.5" thick
grey enclosure labelled "Edwards Vacuum Switch VSK.1.B." on the bottom side. A 1/4" diameter 4" long tube extends out of the top of the enclosure up to the port flange.
A gentle tap on the enclosure is often enough to result in this switch indicating correctly. Do not bypass this switch unless a latching port cover has already been removed,
thus ensuring that the tank is at atmosphere.
