Energized newly rebuilt 2500L/s ion pump (IP2) unit to confirm operability

Taking advantage of an IFO lock loss today, I was able  to enter the LVEA and connect high voltage cables (available IP6 cables) to the newly rebuilt 2500 L/s ion pump stored in the Beer Garden near the IP6 location.  I then energized the rebuilt pump and confirmed that it works.  I am leaving the cables connected to the pump but de-energized.  We hope to install this unit at the IP2 location on Tuesday.
