Flurries of earthquakes from Japan. Had another HAM6 High Voltage power supply failure. Able to finally finish the change for removing the SR3 Dither Pitch Offset. Shift ended with a M6.2 Alaska earthquake which took H1 down.
LOG:
- 1600 Verbal: "nearby earthquake from Japan" (was a M5.2). Received several of these notifications as flurry of EQs in Japan rolled through.
- 1732 LOCKLOSS seismic motion is elevated, but doesn't look like it was EQ-caused
- 1745 Removed SR3 Dither Pit Offset and updated safe.snap (alog)....and...
- 1800-1822 Ran Initial Alignment with new SR3 pointing due to offset being zeroed
- 1736-1746 EQ Mode activated
- 1813-1823 EQ Mode activated
- 1845 Noticed H1 was STUCK at PREP_DC_READOUT_TRANSITION. This was due to the OMC not locking.
- 1913-2004 Phoned Elenna for help. She eventually found out we had another HAM6 High Voltage Power Supply issue for the OMC 100V PZTs.
