Ring heaters on

Jeff, Sheila, Dan

We got the ok from Chandra to switch on high voltage equipment. We only wanted to switch on the ring heaters though (which are only +-15V so we're not sure why they get switched off?). To switch them on, at the TCS racks (back left corner in the CER) we just flipped the rocker switches on the back of each unit, test masses are now warming up. While we were there we also swtiched the SR3 heater on.

Per LIGO-M1300464, the procedure is to disable ring heaters during pressure transitions because it is unclear how heated metal will react to pressure changes.
