3928 is marked as new. ITMY did not misalign as requested by the script. PR2 and IM4 alignment REFL WFS not running. This is still being investigated.
3926 is marked as closed procedural. This fault was due to a human error. The actuation amplitude was too strong in the template and will be reduced to avoid this in the future.
3925 is marked as new. The interferometer broke lock when aborting a measurement of the CHARD P open loop (swept sine excitation) using DTT. This is still being investigated.
3922 is marked as work in progress. To avoid Guardian nodes from hanging, it is now standard operating procedure to reboot the Guardian machine following a DAQ process restart, which is scheduled weekly at the end of the Tuesday maintenance period. However, there is a concern that there is a potential that this could re-occur should we need to restart these vulnerable Guardian nodes while the IFO is locked, resulting in a lock loss and more significant down-time. This is still being investigated.
3916 is marked as work in progress. Suspensions WD can trip during an alignment and be set to bad positions. Audible alarms should be set to avoid missing a suspension or SEI that tripped. These are not yet set up.
3895 is marked as closed unavoidable. Effect of glitch was limited i.e PSL tripped but Front Ends did not. Recovery from power glitch was very smoothly done by LLO staff
3863 is marked as closed unresolved. Alarms handlers have been set for operators to be informed should this issue arise again. We may wish to consider options for implementing something in Guardian.
3860 is marked as closed duplicate of Fault Report 3141 - MASTER: Beckhoff communication issue. We will monitor for a reoccurence
3846 is marked as closed unresolved. For some reason performing this transition only worked at a smaller CARM offset . It's not clear what necessitated this change. We will monitor for a repeat occurence.
3830 is marked as closed resolved. The settings were not saved correctly under the safe snap file which was restored during the model restarts -cf https://alog.ligo-la.caltech.edu/aLOG/index.php?callRep=21832-. The safe snap file has been corrected to prevent a repeat occurence.
3828 is marked as closed unresolved. Don't know what the root cause is yet. A note on a work around procedure has been added to the Operator Wiki. We will monitor for a repeat occurrence
3825 is marked as closed procedural. This was an OOPS. Detector engineers miscommunicated interaction between PSL work and affect on ALS. Awareness has been shared which should prevent a reoccurrence
3823 is marked as closed resolved. This resulted in two action items one to look into widening control limits on the front end watchdog which is programmed so that it trips at 15% loss of power from when it was activated and the other to close training gap on single operator on PSl restart procedure.
3808 is marked as closed resolved. Required spare PZT controller to be installed. Root cause of the failure of the controller is still under investigation and being monitored for a repeat occurrence.
3796 is marked as pending. This is not likely to be addressed until a future RCG update, and so it was recommended that we turn off monitoring of DACKILL channels in IOP models until the fix is available.
3793 is marked as closed resolved. The BS OpLev Guardian settings were widened which should prevent a reoccurrence
3747 is marked as closed resolved. The ISC_Lock Guardian has been modified which should prevent a reoccurrence
3744 is marked as closed resolved. We will monitor for a reoccurence
