This is long overdue, but our burt files for SDF now live in the LIGO userapps SVN, as they should.

The canonical files live in places like /opt/rtcds/userapps/release/cds/c1/burtfiles/c1x01_safe.snap and are symlinked to files like /opt/rtcds/caltech/c1/target/c1x01/c1x01epics/burt/safe.snap

 We had our annual safety inspection today.  Our SOPs are outdated. The full list of needed correction will be posted tomorrow.

The most useful found was that the ITMX-ISCT ac power is coming  from 1Y1 rack. This should actually go to 1Y2 LSC rack ?

 Please test this so we do not create more ground loops.

 Annual crane inspection is scheduled for 8-11am Monday, March 17, 2014

The control room Smart UPS has two red extension cords that has to be removed: Nodus and Linux1

 Last long extension cord removed from 1Y1 to ITMX-ISCT

The AC power strip at ITMX-ISCT is coming from wall L#26

Be aware that this may affect POP QPD and POP RF Thorlabs PD

 Late adition: CHECK all viewport covers.

A, transparent Lexan sheet is protecting glass windows in a horizontal position

B, metal housing protection is required on each viewport except signal ports

C, signal ports should be shielded by optical table enclosure

We have to cover this window-camera with implosion proof cover or just remove it and blank it.

Question number 2: Do our vertically positioned windows with flip able covers require protective lexan ? NO 5-5-2014

Safety audit went soothly. We thank all participients.

Safety audit went smothly.

Crane inspection is scheduled for March 4

Safety glasses will be measured before April 1

Bob cleaned the safety glasses. They were sonicated in warm 2% Liquinox  water for 10 minutes.  Steve checked them by transmission measurement of 1064 nm at 150 mW

 Linus-1, Nodus and others  ac cords can be moved over to new blank yellow extension cord with multiple recepticals.

 Remove two red extension cords going to Smart UPS

 Batteries replaced and cylinder recharged. Please clean up your experimental set up if it is blocking breakers or entry way etc.

I will start the final clean up 2pm today.

Emergency exit lights were inspected:  2 out of 13 batteries have to be replaced

One of the Halon fire extinguishers needs to be recharged out of 8

Please do participate in preparation for the upcoming safety audit on Feb 28

  1064 nm transmison were measured of 40m safety glasses as shown . Their performance did not degrade. They are as good as their labels.

Safety glasses 1064 nm transmission measured at ~200 mW level. They are all good.

This is the third safety glasses that I found laying around in the IFO lab lately. Safety glasses must be worn ALL times in the IFO room!

This rule is essential for your protection! Please do not enter if you can not put up with this regulation!

Lightwave M126-1064-700 lasers  sn415  at east end of the Y arm and  sn201 at the AP table  are connected individually  to one each EMERGENCY LASER SHUT OFF SWITCH. 

The PSL had one 1064 nm beam to be blocked around the north east side. The end enclosures are fine.
