 The source vacuum controls and cooling water pump switches are kept in an "​on"​ configuration by a UPS located on the sputter source vacuum cabinet. ​ The UPS should keep these controls running for 30-40 minutes. ​ The pumps themselves will thus restart automatically when the power comes back on, as long as the UPS is still working. The source vacuum controls and cooling water pump switches are kept in an "​on"​ configuration by a UPS located on the sputter source vacuum cabinet. ​ The UPS should keep these controls running for 30-40 minutes. ​ The pumps themselves will thus restart automatically when the power comes back on, as long as the UPS is still working.
  
-If a power blink is observed, or the phase alarm activates, immediately follow these steps as soon as the power comes back on:+If a power blink is observed, or the phase alarm activates, immediately follow these steps as soon as the **power comes back on**:
  
-1) Check the cooling water loop pumps. ​ The controls are located at the entry to the source area. (Ground the high voltage cage). All but the top panel should be showing a green light.  ​The source cooling water must  be re-activated. ​ This control is on the side of the cabinet that is against the wall by the sputter source. ​ You may need to hold the “on” switch for several seconds before the pump will remain on.+1) The source cooling water must  be re-activated. ​ This control is on the side of the cabinet that is against the wall by the sputter source. ​ You may need to hold the “on” switch for several seconds before the pump will remain on.

-2) Check the vault cryopump compressors to verify that they have re-started. ​ There is one in the high energy pumping station and one next to the low energy ​pumping ​station.  If they are running they should be making noise and the pressure gauge should ​read ~300 psi on the HE unit, and ~75 psi on the LE unit If they are not running ​try cycling the power switch on the front of the compressor, if that doesn’t work try cycling the breaker on the back of the compressor.+2) Check the vault cryopump compressors to verify that they have re-started. ​ There is one next to the LE and HE pumping ​stations.  If they are running they should be making noise and the pressure gauge should ​be oscillating between 75 and 100 psi. If they are not running try cycling the breaker on the back of the compressor.  Do the same for any cryopump compressors associated with your beam line.

-3) Proceed to the mechanical room.  Stand at the yellow circle painted on the floor in front of the main breaker panel. ​ Push the reset and start buttons on panels A, B, & C.  This will activate 2 air handlers, and the water pump behind you. 
  
-{{playground:​im001097s.jpg|}}{{playground:​im001096s.jpg|}}+3)      Acknowledge the alarm panel, reset the shutdown module and the tritium monitor.
  
-5) Return to the control room.  Check the “main loop temp” on the alarm panel.  ​If it is greater ​than 58 the chiller has failed ​and you will need staff to restart it.  ​Do not re-start ​the accelerator, ​and turn down the magnets.+4) If the blink was more than a few milliseconds ​the accelerator ​and all electrostatic devices ​will have shut down and all electrically operated gate valves (except for the sources) will have closed.  ​If the accelerator ​was runningset all of its controls to the initial condition (off) settings 
  
-6) Return to the vault and check that the 4 cryopumps ( LE line, LE pumping station, HE pumping station, analyzer line) are still cold.  ​Remember, ​the green part of the dial is NOT good.  ​Condensation or frost on the cryopump is a sign of failure If they have failed, shut down the compressor to begin regeneration +5     ​Check ​the “main loop temp” on the alarm panel.  ​If it is greater than ~58 the chiller has failed and you will need staff to restart it.  ​Check the status ​of the magnetsEach magnet control module should be showing a red light for standby or off condition. Magnet current meters need to be showing zero amps. Turn down the magnets if they are not at zero     
  
-7) This process has preserved the vacuum, cooling, climate control systems. ​ The ion gauges, gates valves and ion sources will need to be carefully re-started to resume ​operations.  Call the lab staff personnel for assistance in these matters.+6) Return to the vault and check that the 4 cryopumps ( LE line, LE pumping station, HE pumping station, analyzer line) are still cold.  All pumps have reliable temperature gauges. ​ Condensation or frost on the cryopump is a sign of failure. ​ If they appear to still be good open the "​pump"​ gate valve at each pumping station. ​ If they have failed, shut down the compressor to begin regeneration,​ do not open any gate valves. Shut down by the yellow breaker on the rear of the compressor.

 +7) The HVAC, lab cooling water, and compressed air systems are automated and should return to normal operation within 5 minutes of power restoration. ​ No action is required in the mechanical room upstairs.

 +8) This process has preserved the vacuum, cooling, climate control systems. ​ The ion gauges, gates valves and ion sources will need to be carefully re-started to resume ​operation. ​ To restore to the console control_power (cups, steerers, chain drive etc.) you will have to go to the blue chain drive control box in the vault and press the "​start"​ button.  Call the lab staff personnel for assistance in these matters.
