Hobart 26m uses the same maser as Hobart 12m. Green numbers are good, red are bad. Here's an example of how it should look:\\ {{:operations:maserok.jpg?200|}}\\ Report any red numbers to Brett ASAP. if you see mention of 'Battery', the maser has lost mains power and is running on it's UPS. If so, tell Brett immediately. | + | * **Time: Maser status OK**\\ Check the "Standard VCH-1005A Manager" display on the Windows PC (to view it, start a VNC session via the Applications menu to timehb, Hobart 26m uses the same maser as Hobart 12m).

* **Cryogenics: Vacuum pressure less than 3.5**. The Vacuum pressure in the S/X dewar should be below this value (measured in microns of Mercury). If it increases above this value, it indicates a leak. Let Brett know. e.g. this readout indicates a vacuum pressure of 1.227 <code>2014.126.09:00:46.53/rx/17(pres),on,a,on,on,on,off,locked,1.227</code> | * **Cryogenics: Vacuum pressure less than 3.5**.

* **Cryogenics: 70K stage temperature below 65K**. The S/X dewar contains a 20K and a 70K stage. If the 70K stage temperature exceeds about 65K, this indicates the receiver is warming up and needs attention. Contact Brett. e.g. this readout indicates a 70K stage temperature of 167K (not good!) <code>2014.126.09:01:49.97/rx/1F(70k),on,a,on,on,on,off,locked,167.0</code> | * **Cryogenics: 70K stage temperature below 65K**.
