* **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**.

- | * **Cryogenics: Helium supply pressure above 275 psi**. Use a [[software:monica_26m_cryo|MONICA session on ''newsmerd'' to monitor the Helium supply pressure]]. If it drops below 275 psi, call Brett! The plot might be up in the vnc newsmerd session (Desktop 4). | + | * **Cryogenics: Helium supply pressure above 275 psi**. Use a [[software:monica_26m_cryo|MONICA session on ''newsmerd'' to monitor the Helium supply pressure]]. If it drops below 275 psi, call Brett! **Bear in mind that according to the gas law ''pv = nrt'' the pressure will go down on a cold night.** It is advisable to only call Brett if the pressure is quite below 275 and or there have been massive sudden dips in pressure indicating a leak. The plot might be up in the vnc newsmerd session (Desktop 4). |
