last modified 04-09-2008 09:32

In the Monochromator hutch:

We use a liquid He vessel to have He flux in Mono chamber He Level in Mono Hutch - Visualization on Monitor in Control Room
Ball must be between 2 marks
Ball down means there is NO MORE He in Mono chamber. Stop immediately the beam! Danger for Be window !!!!

To change He bottle:

1) First thing to do:
Close mechanical valve 0 in Experimental hutch
2) Close mechanical valve 1 in Mono hutch



3) Close mechanical valve 3 in Mono hutch 4) You are ready to pump Mono chamber

Connect pumping group to Mono chamber


5) Verify that Mono Hutch Electronic Valves are open 6) Open completely mechanical valve 2 in Mono hutch to pump the whole chamber

7) Call Floor coordinator (25-25) to get a new liquid He bottle
Connect it - Note new date on camera field of view

9) Close mechanical valve 2 - Stop pumping

11) Do not forget to reopen mechanical valve 0 in Experimental Hutch before working
8) Check vacuum state on jauge



10) Open mechanical valve 1, then 3
He surpression must go up the ball
