Powering Down HIRES
- Log on to lehoula as user hireseng.
- Check the 3.8-l dewar level:
lehoula{hires}61: ln2
DWRN2LV = 100.521973 percent full
RESN2LV = 77.074471 percent full
TEMPDET = -120.123032 degrees (C)
- Initiate a fill if DWRN2LV is less than 50% of capacity. This
is most easily done from the menu entry HIRES Control Menu ->
Initiate HIRES Dewar Fill.
- Disable the alarm cron jobs running under the kics account
on waialea. This can be left to later if the power down is an
emergency. Contact the HIRES support astronomer if help is
needed with this step.
-
Log on to 'hccdcrate'; use the menu entry Engineering -> Tip
CCD Crate or:
lehoula{hires}61: telnet tserver1 3012
or
lehoula{hires}61: telnet hccdcrate
Disable power to the CCD at the VxWorks prompt: Call the HIRES
support astronomer for the login and the password if you do not
know it.

-
Turn off the CCD power
supply switch (the covered light switch under the UPS on the
right-side shelves in the HIRES Electronics Enclosure).
-
Turn off power to the main rack in the electronics enclosure. The
power switch is the large toggle switch behind the hinged rear cover
on the rack.
-
Turn off power to the Varian ion pump power supply, located on the
shelf above the UPS.
Powering UP HIRES
-
Turn on CCD power (the light switch; see above).
-
Turn on rack power (the rack toggle switch; see above).
-
Turn on ion pump power (on the shelf; see above).
-
Set the ion pump current gauge scale to 50 uA full-scale, and
push the reset button down for 2 seconds to start the
device. Verify that the gauge reading is dropping into this
range, and that the light goes off; it may be necessary to
start in a higher range. The operating current is less than 1
uA, so bring the scale down to 5 uA full-scale
ultimately.
-
Check dewar levels via keywords (ln2). Try and read a raw
encoder value (s xdraw).
-
Re-enable the alarm cron jobs running on waialea.
