Document #:

LIGO-E1000323-v3

Document type:

E - Engineering documents

Abstract:

HAM-ISI Unit #6 was assembled during June 2012. The testing of this Unit is presented here. It started on June 18th and lasted until July 14th.Tests were performed in accordance with E1000309-V12 procedure.

Particularities:
------------------
- CPS & lockers were set before strong temperature changes caused the blades to sag.
- Full set of production GS13s
- L4Cs and brackets installed

Minor issues that don’t imply further work:
----------------------------------------------------------
- CPS gap measurement with a jig was waived to avoid scratching targets

Minor issues that imply further work:
---------------------------------------------------
- Actuators linearity is within requirement. However the average slope deviation is slightly of specifications on H1. It seems to correlate with the cable+actuator resistance measurements. This observation needs to be confirmed with the final measurements made with the in-field cables.
- The simulation, and implementation, of the damping loops represent a “bonus test” and was not performed because of delays caused by omissions in assembly, instrument failure and strong temperature changes.
- CPS and lockers were set before strong temperature changes caused the blades to sag. They might have to be reset once the ISI is installed in the IFO.
