Jordan reported that the RGA section needs to be pumped down to allow the analyzer to run at sufficiently low pressure (P<1e-4 torr).
The RGA section was pumped down with the TP2/TP3. The procedure is as listed below.
If the pressure go up to P>1e-4 torr, we need to keep the pump running until the scan is ready.

### Monitor / Control screen setup ###
1. On c1vac: cd /cvs/cds/caltech/target/c1vac/medm
2. medm -x C0VAC_MONITOR.adl&
3. RGA section (P4) 3.6e-1 torr / P3/P2 still atm.
4. medm -x C0VAC_CONTROL.adl
### TP2/TP3 backing ###
5. Turn on AUX RP with the circuit breaker hanging on the AC.
6. Open manual valve for TP2/3/ backing / PTP2/3 ~ 8torr
### TP2/TP3 starting ###
7. Turned on TP2/TP3 with the Standby OFF
### Pump down the pump spool ###
8. Connect manual RP line (Quick Connect)
9. Turned on RP1/RP3 -> quickly reached 0.4 torr
10. Open V6 for pump spool pumping -> Immediately go down to sufficiently low pressure for TP2/TP3.
(10.5 I had to close V6 at this point)
11. Open V5 to start pumping pump spool with TP3 (TP2 still stand by) -> P3 immediately goes down below 1e-4 torr. This automatically closed V6 because of the low pressure of P3 (interlocking)
### Pump down the RGA section ###
12. Open VM3 to pump down RGA section -> P4 goes down to <1e-4 torr
13. P2 is still 2e-3. So decided to open V4 to use TP2 (now it's ready) too. -> Saturated at 1.7e-3
### Shutting down ###
14. Close VM3
15. Close V4/V5 to isolate TP2/TP3
16. Stop TP2/TP3 -> Slowing down
17. Stop RP1/RP3
18. Close the manual valves for TP2/3/ backing
19. Stop AUX RP with the circuit breaker hanging on the AC. |
