+ | The webcams are useful as a visual check that the antennas are out of park, moving and slewing, when live pages, or remote interfaces fail. | ||
+ | There is a wireless webcam at each Auscope site; the username and password are the usual for observers, | ||

+ | ==Receiver Position== | ||
+ | In Otter interface [r] resets box in focus cabin. If receiver position display is "zero" indicates error (all bits zero) indicative of reset required. | ||
+ | Above fault also means auto receiver position not working. | ||
+ | ===Cryo System=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Action plan after warmed and severe pressure drop. Compressor has cut out as pressure went below 150 psi | ||
+ | |||
+ | - commence vaccuming S/X using turbo pump | ||
+ | |||
+ | - turn off the SX cryodyne in the diesel room so that the blue motor stops | ||
+ | |||
+ | - turn off the L-band cryodyne by pulling out the lead to the L-band | ||
+ | cold head in the focus cabin | ||
+ | |||
+ | - use hastings vac gauge and Edwards oil filled vac pump to pump L-band | ||
+ | dewar while it warms(dear valve open whilst pumping). | ||
+ | |||
+ | - top up the helium supply to 300 psi if the compressor is running OK. | ||
+ | If has shut down, increase the pressure slightly then restart the | ||
+ | compressor and increase the pressure to 300 psi supply. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - locate the leak. Leak detector goes yellow for heavy molecules, red for light gas. Keep skin away from tip, and don't breathe near tip. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - power down the compressor | ||
+ | |||
+ | - replace leaking hose | ||
+ | |||
+ | - power up the compressor, must have > 150 psi to start | ||
+ | |||
+ | -top helium up to 300 psi once compressor running | ||
+ | |||
+ | - commence s/x cooling by turning on cryo S/X power in diesel room | ||
+ | |||
+ | - start L-band cryodyne | ||
+ | |||
+ | - 3 hours of cooling with vac pump on L-band is required | ||
+ | |||
+ | - close l-band dewar valve | ||
+ | |||
+ | - remove Edwards pump. | ||
+ | |||
+ | -close SX dewar valve and turn off turbo |
