Revision 1.9








Description : WHT Cassegrain Spectrograph
Location : WHT Cassegrain Focus
Weight : 1500 Kg











Preparation

Team required :  2  ( 1 mechanical & 1 Detector )
Approximate time :  NA

This should be carried out at least the day before the change.

IMPORTANT : Make sure the detectors to be used are pumped and cooled down ready to be fitted the next day.

1. The handling trolley for the instrument to be removed from the telescope must be lifted to the observing floor.

2. ISIS should be lifted up to the observing floor. The top of the handling frame can be removed so that the instrument is ready to be mounted.

3. Any electronic equipment, cabling or cryostats not on the telescope should be taken to the observing floor.

4. Any cryostats that are fitted to ISIS that are not in use elsewhere should be mounted and the micrometers set-up.

5.Clean ISIS slit. (Only clean it if you have been trained; otherwise contact a specialist)

Team required :      2 Electronics Specialists
                              2 Mechanical Specialists
                               1 Weightlifter

Nominal  time :       6 hours


Instrument mounting

Tick each box when complete

1. IMPORTANT  Position the telescope for change: PARK ZENITH

2. Make entry in log book:         DO NOT MOVE TELESCOPE

3. Lock off the telescope (Control Room).

4. Turn the Cassegrain rotator to correct angle and line up the marks on ISIS and the A&G box.

5. Put telescope ties in on the GRACE side.

6. Remove all connections to the instrument to be removed.

7. Move instrument handling trolley under instrument, align & attach.

8. Unbolt and remove instrument.

9. Check that ISIS lid is open.

10. Move ISIS into place and bolt on. ONE person only to check all bolts are tight.

11. Lift down and store trolley.

12. Balance telescope. NB this should be done after cabling up and switching on ISIS and the CCD controllers. Pre-testing can then be carried out during balancing.

 

 

 

Instrument Cabling

Tick each box when complete

13. Connect the ISIS air supply.

14. Connect the ISIS  Network  to the Ethernet Switch called “PLC’s ONLY” at A&G Box Rack

     -PLC#1 Two connections; Module 1756-ENBT and the MVI56 Prosoft Module for ICS communication.

     -PLC#2 One connection Module 1756-ENBT

 

15. Connect and switch on the ISIS mains:

      -ISIS 24V PSU Motors.

      -ISIS PLC Connector Panel Junction Box Rack & ISISP Power Amplifier Rack. (The same plug for both)

      -ISIS Temp. sensor PSU. (White Mains Cable)

      -ISIS PLC#1 and PLC#2 connected to the APC port 2 located at the A&G Box Rack.

16. Switch on or check:

      -PLC#1 (One switch at rear and one in front)

      -PLC#2 (One switch at rear and one in front)

      -ISIS Temperature Sensor

      -ISIS 24V PSU Motors

      -ISIS Junction Box Rack

      -ISISP Power Amplifier Rack

16.1 At the PLC’s looks for any red error indications see next figures:

      -The CPU Key should be at REM mode

18. Clean the CCD Cryostat windows.

19. Clean the camera lenses.

20. Ensure the correct length filler tube is fitted in each cryostat. HALF LENGTH tubes are needed for cryostats mounted on RED and BLUE.

21. Set the capstans A, B & C and the rotation for each cryostat using the micrometers as per the 'Capstan Settings Book'.

22. Clamp the capstans in correct order i.e.  1st  A - the hole, 2nd  B - the slot, 3rd C - the flat. To PREVENT FORMING AN EARTH LOOP:
Ensure the micrometers including the D rotation micrometer are wound back and are not touching the frame. Also check that the clamps have insulating material fitted where they make contact with the capstan screws. CHECK isolation using a multimeter before connecting any cables to the cryostat.

23. Connect air and set cryostat window flushing to ~50 litres/hour.

24. Connect the mains to the RED SDSU PSU.

25. Connect an SDSU power cable between the RED SDSU controller and the RED SDSU controller PSU.

26. To be done be member of detector group taking anti-static precautions: Connect the RED CCD main signal cable static protection box to the RED SDSU controller.

27. Connect the RED temperature cable between the RED SDSU controller and the RED cryostat.

28. Connect the RED shutter cable from ISIS RED shutter to the RED shutter control box and the other shutter cable from the the RED shutter control box to the RED SDSU controller.

29. Connect an ID cable between the RED cryostat and the RED SDSU controller.

30. Connect the 2 fibres from the RED controller back to the appropriate SPARC in the control room.

31. Connect the mains to the BLUE SDSU PSU.

32. Connect an SDSU power cable between the BLUE SDSU controller and the BLUE SDSU controller PSU.

33. To be done be member of detector group taking anti-static precautions: Connect the BLUE CCD main signal cable static protection box to the BLUE SDSU controller.

34. Connect the BLUE temperature cable between the BLUE SDSU controller and the BLUE cryostat.

35. Connect the BLUE shutter cable from ISIS BLUE shutter to the BLUE shutter control box and the other shutter cable from the the BLUE shutter control box to the BLUE SDSU controller.

36. Connect an ID cable between the BLUE cryostat and the BLUE SDSU controller.

37. Connect the 2 fibres from the BLUE controller back to the appropriate SPARC in the control room.

38. Switch on RED and BLUE SDSU controller PSUs and Shutter control PSUs.

38.1. At the telescope use the buttons on the front of the RED and BLUE shutter control boxes to test the operation and status from the shutters

39. Coffee Break.

40. At the instrument engineering interface RSView32, select ISIS Engineering Interface

Check for correct communication.

 

Check if the ICS IP is connected to the PLC, see figure below:

41. At the Engineering Interface RSView32 after everything is power-up, initialise all mechanisms see next figure:

 

 

 

42. After the initialization there should be not red status shown anymore

 

42.1 After the grating zeroset can you write down the HOME positions:
