ISIS

Andy Ridings 23 February 2004
Revision 1.2

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

INSTRUMENT CHANGE PROCEDURE
ISIS SPECTROGRAPH


Team required :      2 Electronics Specialists
                              2 Mechanical Specialists
                               1 Weightlifter

Nominal  time :       6 hours


Instrument mounting

Tick box
1. Make entry in log book :         DO NOT MOVE TELESCOPE

2. IMPORTANT  Position the telescope for change : Azimuth  300 degrees & Elevation  90 degrees

3. Lock telescope off 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

13. Connect the ISIS air supply

14. Connect the ISIS 4MS Network and Engineers' ports to the NIU port and the RS232 box (labelled ISIS) respectively.

15. Connect the ISIS EPICS crate to the DECNET.

16. Connect and switch on the ISIS mains.

17. Switch on : ISIS 4MS, ASL unit, ISISP EPICS crate and SMDM 24v power supply.


ISIS CCD mounting

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. Set cryostat window flushing to ~50 litres/hour.


ISIS CCD connections

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 RED controller back to the appropriate SPARC in the control room.

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


ISIS post installation checks

39. In the control room on the old autoguider VME type ?net  Make sure you receive an 'acknowledgement' message for ISIS

40. At the instrument engineering terminal switch box (right knob) select CASS INST. and using the right hand VT220 terminal type .SLINKS
This will test communication to each of the SMDMs and the encoder channels. Any faulty serial links will be listed. A faulty link to SMDM M ( thats a CAPITAL M ) can be ignored

41. Still at the engineering terminal type ILS and CONFIG These both give useful information about the health of the instrument

42. 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.

43. Bring up a window on the ICS and type PING ISISP to check that the Epics ISIS Polarisation crate is on the network


Final checks though ICL and ICS

44. Edit the detector configuration file as detailed in the DE checklists

45. Bring up ICL and ICS as detailed in the DE checklists.

46. Update the magnet board.

Using the WHT Duty Engineering notes for reference, take an arc with each arm. If arc lines are obtained then it is time to hand over to the SA to perform the
final focussing
