Today we uncrated and tested the newly rebuilt ion pump that is intended to replace the iLIGO IP9 at the Y-mid station.  Both internal pumps (A and B), seemed to work and behave normally - for the most part.  It did seem to take longer for it to reach a steady current (4.7 uA) than the previous pumps and may not be as low of current(?)  Additionally, both 1.33 CFF flanges for the HV feedthroughs were noticeably "gappy".  We will leak test these prior to installation (anticipated to be Tuesday, February, 12th). 

Disregard the indicated pressure in the picture as it doesn't apply to this size of pump.  The indicated current is valid.
