[Dsg-dc] [Hallb-engineering] DC-gas alarms

[David Anderson]

To follow-up Morgan's question, I would like to propose a manual of sorts be prepared with all the drawings, possible alarms and proper responses
required to deal with each alarm state.
We are flying blind without reference material......

Thanks,
David

Where can I find the drawings of the dc gas system?

Hello,

Thanks George.  Just to clarify, changing dewars is a day time 
activity and should be regularly checked before leaving for the 
evening and weekend.  With the exception of the holidays and failures, 
the on call shouldn't be concerned with it.  Someone please correct me 
if I'm wrong, but this is the way I remember it from before. 

Regards,
Krister
