Starting NESLAB

Jun 14, 2021, P Gabor et al. ✔✘
Silo 2nd lvlNESLAB: First night of the run check coolant level; not necessary on following nights, unless there is a visible leak. [Access hatch is on the top of the cabinet, at the far left. Under the hatch is the hatch into the coolant reservoir, removable with two captured thumbscrews. Coolant should cover the visible, coiled pipes. DO NOT ADD COOLANT WITHOUT CONSULTING THE DAY CREW (Gary Gray): it is better to run with the coolant slightly low (i.e., ~1/4 of the diameter of the top, coiled pipe exposed) than to put the wrong coolant mixture into the reservoir.]
Silo 2nd lvlTurn NESLAB on only if VATTtel is already booted so that you can turn cell fans and thermal control on without undue delay
Silo 2nd lvlNESLAB: Simultaneously toggle front panel ON/OFF switch to “ON” & slowly raise manual valve lever (to minimize vibration)
Silo 2nd lvlNESLAB: Also simultaneously: watch pneumatic-actuated valves “OPEN”
Silo 2nd lvlNESLAB: Check pressure gauge (usually well above the nominal 56 psi)
