Type: Configuration 
Category: VAC 
Subject: V1 is open 

Quote:

The Maglev is running for 10 days with V1 closed.  The pressure at the RGA-region is  at 2e-9 torr on CC4 cold cathode gauge.

Valve VM2 to Rga-only was opened 6 days ago. The foreline pressure is still 2.2e-6 torr with small Varian turbo ~10 l/s on cc2

Daily scans show small improvement in large amu 32 Oxygen and large amu 16, 17 and 18 H20 water peaks.

Argon calibration valve is leaking on our Ar cylinder and it is constant.

 

The good news is that there are no fragmented hydrocarbons in the spectrum.

The Maglev is soaked with water. It was seating in the 40m for 4 years with viton o-ring seals

However I can not explan the large oxygen peak, either Rai Weiss can not.

 

The Maglev scans are indicating cleanliness and water. I'm ready to open V1 to the IFO

 V1 valve is open to IFO now. V1 interlock will be tested tomorrow.

Valve configuration: VAC NORMAL with CRYO and Maglev are both pumping on the IFO
