HAM1&6 ISC Electronics Installation Work
Stefan, Alexa, Rich

HAM1:
1.  All in-air and in-vacuum cabling associated with the ASC detectors,  LSC detectors, and Pico motors have been run.  The in-air cables still require termination in TNC at the rack.
2.  All in-vacuum cabling has been run for the tip-tilts, and the cables have been mated to the tip-tilt stages.
3.  Cables for the beam diverter are attached at the flange, but not run to the diverters yet as one connector set was missing the helicoil inserts.
4.  Operational check was performed on all 4 pico motors, and all axes are correct

HAM6:
1.  All in-vacuum RF detector coaxial cabling is attached at the flange, but not yet run to the racks.

What's Next:
1.  Fix cables requiring helicoils
2.  Hook up and test beam diverters
3.  Mount all in-vacuum detectors and verify proper operation
4.  Clean up in-vacuum cable routing and ensure all is well constrained
5.  Terminate all in-air RF cables at their respective racks
6.  Install tip/tilt coil driver in the ISC R4 rack and test operation in HAM1 through installed air and vacuum cabling

Update on status:

 

 - Helicoils fixed (Rich).

 - Beam diverters hooked up and tested. The beam diverters work, but there is a flip between REFL/POP somewhere in the chain between Beckhoff and the actual BDIVs. The easy option is just to flip the cables attached to the BDIVs; the harder route is to track where the flip happens and fix it (Alexa, Joe, Sheila).

- HAM 1 RF in-air cables have been terminated with TNC. The LSC RF cables have been connected to the proper patch panels; however, ASC RF cable are not. HAM 6 RF in-air cables remain to be terminated (Alexa, Rich).

- In the process of checking RF cable connections; about 1/3 of the cables are not properly connected (Rich, Alexa).

We found a swapped wire inside HAM 1; now the beam diverters are properly connected (following the wiring diagrams) and working.
