CHAPTER 1 INSTALLATION STEERING GUIDE

This manual describes the PET MINItrace Production System installation process, up to, but not including, the Performance Demonstration and customer acceptance.
1-1
Introduction
Use this chapter as a general guide to the installation. The Installation Steering Guide provides a brief description of each phase of the installation, and the location of the detailed instructions elsewhere in the manual. The instructions include boxes to check when you complete each subsection or step. The final six chapters are laid out in a logical sequence, so that each chapter covers a phase of the installation: Chapter 2 - page 15 Chapter 3 - page 39 Chapter 4 - page 93 Chapter 5 - page 127 Chapter 6 - page 167 Chapter 7 - page 177
This manual also contains several appendices that contain tables to record start-up values or other information used by one or more chapters. Note: Some sites are literally built around the cyclotron, so several weeks may elapse between the system delivery and the actual start of the installation. The customer must provide secure storage for the rest of the system, and arrange for the riggers to come back to move the heavy components into place. During a MINItrace system installation, you have to: Unpack and rig the major system components. Assemble the fixed shields, position the magnet and attach the shield doors. Position the components and attach the support cabinets to the shield. Run the power and signal cables. Run the hoses, compressed air, gas and product pipes or tubes. Attach the Target cooling panel, diffusion pump and vacuum rotary pump to the magnet. Make the connections to the MINItrace components. Start-up the system. Run the initial beam tests, and check the system function. Run the Performance Demonstration for customer acceptance.

GE HEALTHCARE REV 5
This manual contains instructions for everything except performance demonstration.
1-2
Installation Overview
Use Table 1-1 to track the system installation. Within the chapters, each section, subsection or step contains a checkbox to mark when you complete the corresponding instruction. When you finish one of the major tasks listed in Table 1-1 , make a check mark in the corresponding box. That way, a new person can quickly determine how far the installation has proceeded, and what tasks remain unfinished. If this is the your first MINItrace installation, follow the procedures in the order they appear in this manual. If you have previous MINItrace installation experience, you may vary the installation sequence. If you have a team of installers on site, you may assign tasks, and work independently. For instance, one person could assemble the target side of the magnet while another person (or team) attaches the diffusion pump. Note: Refer to Illustration 1-1. All "right" and "left" shield and support cabinet locations are referenced from the front of the MINItrace.

Installation Tool Box (Gang box)

Arrange for the secure storage of the wooden MINItrace installation gang box. (Part number 2230305) Refer to Illustration 2-3. The gang box is considered a Regional tool. It contains the tools and hardware youll need to install the MINItrace system. The box contains an assortment of spare hardware and wall anchors to accommodate a variety of wall finishes. Inventory the contents at the beginning and end of the installation. Restock the items you used during the installation BEFORE you return the gang box. The gang box should arrive with a complete inventory list. Make sure the box contains enough hardware and drill bits to complete the installation. A consumables kit is sent separately.
ILLUSTRATION 2-3 INSTALLATION TOOL BOX (GANG BOX) - 3/4 AND SIDE VIEWS
The gang box contains power tools and tool boxes filled with metric hand tools. In theory, it contains everything you need to install the system. REMEMBER to return the hand tools to the individual tool boxes each night, and lock the box each time you leave the site.

Check for Transit Damage

Check the shipping containers for physical damage when they arrive on site. In Illustration 2-5, the shield shifted about 5cm during transit, enough to damage the container doors and break the dimensional lumber used to secure it during shipment. Also check the crate exteriors for damage as the riggers unload them from the shipping container. Inspect the containers when they are delivered. Immediately report any damage to the driver/freight handler and your local installation specialist.

Unpacking Instructions
You have two objectives during this phase of the installation: Remove the system components from their trucks or shipping containers. Position (stage) the components in the unloading area for efficient access and transfer into the Cyclotron room or to more secure storage.
Use a heavy mobile crane to unload the MINItrace system and crates from the truck or shipping container. Position the crane as close as possible to the facility entrance or access hole. Choose the most direct delivery route from the entrance to the Cyclotron room, as corners can be difficult to negotiate. For best results: Reserve a 5000 sq-ft area near the facility entrance to unload and stage the system components for delivery to the cyclotron room. This area includes space for the crane, truck and its shipping container or trailer. ILLUSTRATION 2-6 RESERVE A 5000 SQ-FT UNLOADING AREA
In Europe, the MINItrace system arrives crated, on three trucks. Elsewhere, the MINItrace system arrives in three 20-ft shipping containers with removable tops. To remove the MINItrace crates and components from the shipping container: Open the doors and use a forklift or skid loader with at least a 50 ton capacity to remove the crates and components from the shipping container. Recommended: Remove the tarp from the top of the container, and use a 60-80 ton crane to remove the magnet and shields (vertically) from the shipping container.

Rigging Crate (Part # 2298267)

Refer to Illustration 2-10, Illustration 2-11 and Illustration 2-12. The rigging crate will either ship as Crate 16 with the MINItrace system (GEMSE), or ship separately (GEMSA, GEMSAM as part number 2298267). It contains the skates, hi-jacker assemblies and accessories used to unload and move the MINItrace shield components into place. A toolbox holds the hardware you need to attach the hi-jacker assemblies. A vacuum cleaner, a ladder and dolly are also included. The rigging crate is currently packed in the same container (or truck) as the MINItrace magnet. Recommended: Locate and unload Container 1 with Crate 16 first. Use the riggers tools and straps to unload the crates. Do NOT destroy the Rigging Crate! When you finish the mechanical installation, repack the crate and return it to the corresponding service pole. Section 2-7 contains an inventory list and instructions to pack the rigging crate for return.

Unload or move the Crates to the designated staging area. The site in the photographs had adequate space and security to store the crates outside. The installers and on-site construction workers disassembled and disposed of the crates as they were emptied. Once opened, the contents of the crates were inventoried and moved to secure storage inside the building. Recommended: If you cannot store the crates/contents inside the building during system installation, rent a 40-ft shipping container for use as a temporary staging and storage facility. Most companies will provide delivery and pickup services with the rental agreement.

For best results: Remove the container tops and use a crane to unload the shields. Disassemble the shipping braces and save the lumber for later use. Tell the crane operator the order in which you plan to move the shields into the building, so he or she can stage the shields to keep crane picks to a minimum. Refer to Illustration 2-20.Locate the Lifting Bolts in Crate 5 The crate is packed together with the MINItrace Shield components.

Introduction
Note: At this point in time, every facility design is unique. The document writers dont know where the architect placed the floor or wall penetrations for the product, ductwork, or power lines in your facility. We dont know what already exists in the ceiling and wall spaces or what was added. Obtain a detailed set of site drawings, and use them in conjunction with this manual. ALWAYS defer to the site drawings. If it makes more sense to mount a panel or position subsystem in a different order than this manual suggests, by all means do so. Just remember to check each section as you complete it. Use this manual to track your progress.

Move the MINItrace Magnet into the Room

Introduction
Move the MINItrace magnet indoors as quickly as possible to prevent damage from exposure to the elements. For best results, consult the site drawings, and if possible, rig the magnet into the Cyclotron room to a spot directly perpendicular to its final position. Otherwise, move the magnet to a temporary indoor location, until you rig the rear shields into place. If necessary, build up the floor to the level of the epoxy area before you push the magnet aside.

Prepare the Delivery Route

The illustrations in this section show the optimal facility plan. The double doors to the cyclotron room open directly onto the temporary unloading and staging area. Most of you will not be so lucky. If you followed the MINItrace Pre-Installation manual Site Preparation checklist, you should have a planned delivery route to your facilitys cyclotron room. The riggers should have walked the route to determine anchor locations for the rigging equipment, and floor protection requirements. All doorways should have been measured for minimum clearance, and doors removed, if required. The delivery route should be free from obstructions. The following MINItrace components could damage unprotected floor surfaces: MINItrace magnet: 11,000Kg Rear shields: Left shield - 12,500Kg, Right shield - 11,00Kg Door shields: Left door - 8,300Kg, Right door - 7,900Kg RFPG Cabinet: 750Kg CCAB: 300Kg
Refer to Illustration 3-2. Build up surfaces to even out differences in floor levels. Use a minimum 1/4" thickness steel plate to protect the floor from damage by the heaviest components. ILLUSTRATION 3-2 PROTECT THE FLOOR FROM DAMAGE
Use the crane to move the MINItrace components as close to the facility entrance as possible. Set the magnet down on a set of rigger supplied skates, or use the hi-jacker assemblies and magnet spacers from the Rigging Crate. (See section 3-3-1 to attach hijackers).

CAUTION
Refer to Illustration 3-5. Always wedge components on skates, to prevent unintended motion.
ILLUSTRATION 3-5 USE WEDGES TO PREVENT ROLL BACK
The riggers have the responsibility to unpack and deliver the MINItrace components to their final position in the Cyclotron room. They determine how to move each piece along the route and into position. Refer to the illustrations in this section for examples and ideas. Refer to Illustration 3-6 and Illustration 3-7. During the illustrated installation, the riggers anchored the rigging equipment to various locations on the unfinished concrete floor. They also pushed off the anchored angle iron with a house jack (Illustration 3-27). For best results ask the riggers to install the anchors and set up the rigging equipment before the system arrives on site. ILLUSTRATION 3-6 ANCHOR THE RIGGING EQUIPMENT TO THE FLOOR

GE HEALTHCARE REV 5 ILLUSTRATION 3-7 ANCHOR THE RIGGING EQUIPMENT TO THE FLOOR
Rigger supplied equipment
The riggers may use an electric winch, mule or manual device (come-along) to pull or push the magnet along the delivery route and into the Cyclotron room. The delivery route length and complexity determines the number of times the riggers will have to insert new anchors and reposition the rigging tools. The riggers have the responsibility to supply the additional rigging equipment they need to complete the job, in addition to the contents of the Rigging Crate. ILLUSTRATION 3-8 THE RIGGER PULLS THE MAGNET INTO THE CYCLOTRON ROOM

GE HEALTHCARE REV 5
CAUTION
The iron impregnated concrete shields are fairly brittle. When you wrap the rigging straps around the shields, take care to position the metal coupling devices as far away from the corners of the shields as possible. Try to position the straps so no metal comes in contact with the shield surfaces. Refer to Illustration 3-49. Use wood to protect stationary pieces from damage by the straps and cables used to pull other pieces into place.

Caulk and Paint the Magnet Niche

If possible, finish positioning the rear shields at the end of the day, or near a scheduled break, so you can caulk and paint the inner niche before moving the magnet into the final position.
CAUTION
Do NOT apply caulk to the penetrations and cable/hose raceway openings!

The system or installation gang box ships with a caulk gun and tubes of caulk. Before painting, apply a bead of silicon caulk to the gaps between the fixed shields and the floor. You may paint immediately after caulking.
The system or installation gang box ships with three 2.5 liter buckets of white paint, enough to apply two or three coats to the exposed areas of the magnet and shields. The paint is water-based, and dries to the touch in about 30 minutes. For best results, wait at least 12 hours between coats. To prevent injury, pad the Hinges until ready to attach the shield doors.

After you pin the lower hinge, you can adjust the height of the hi-jackers as needed to fit the eccentric pin into the upper hinge and bearing assembly. 1. Assemble the upper hinge pins. One pin set has single scribe marks and the other has double scribe marks. a. b. c. Slide the steel eccentric into the brass casing. Align the scribe marks on the brass and steel. Tighten the set screw to create a single pin assembly. (See Illustration 3-57.)
Note: The eccentric pins are NOT interchangeable. One upper door hinge has a single scribe mark and the other door hinge has double scribe marks. Make sure the marks match. 2. Insert the assembled eccentric pin through the top hinge and make sure it enters the upper bearing assembly. Dont try to align the scribe marks on the pin to the mark(s) on the upper hinge until you lower the door. The object at this time is to insert the pin into the bearing assembly. Refer to Illustration 3-57. If necessary, use the wrench, included in the Installation tool box, to turn the entire pin assembly until it slides into the bearing assembly. You can also raise or lower one or more jacks to help the pin drop into the bearing.

CHAPTER 4 INSTALL THE CABLES, HOSES AND PIPES

Follow the instructions in this chapter and the designated appendices to begin the installation of the MINItrace power, signal, cooling water, gas and product lines. The shield contains many of the raceways between the cyclotron and the system support and electronics cabinets. To accommodate this integrated design, you need to pull cables, hoses and lines in a specific order. You must also reassemble and interconnect the cyclotron in stages. For best results, take the time to check for the presence of ALL connections to a cyclotron subsystem before you start to assemble it. Note: Follow all the instructions in Chapter 4 before proceeding to Chapter 5. One person may install the cables (Section 4-1) while another person installs the hoses and pipes (Section 4-2), but each person should follow the corresponding sections from beginning to end. After you complete the tasks in Chapter 4, and proceed to Chapter 5, you may assemble the target and vacuum systems simultaneously. When the system is disassembled for packing, the lines that run between the LTF and valve panel or Target Cooling Manifold are left attached to the LTF and the lines that run between the Target Cooling Manifold and target(s) are left attached to the TCM. Chapter 5 contains the instructions to reattach these lines to their respective units. Your system documentation includes a customized MINItrace Pipe Work Drawing and a Cable Block Diagram. Locate and use these drawings to install the system. Pipe Work Drawing CAC600-17000-00-1 Cable Block Diagram, CAC000-51003-00-3

The cable destinations are clearly marked on each cable. A basic system has 10 MIS runs, plus the RF cable. A system with all available options could have up to 25 MIS runs. Illustration 4-2 contains an example of the Cable Block Diagram, CAC00051003-00-3. Direction 2233001 contains a larger (A3/11.5x17") drawing of the Cable Block Diagram
2.
Pull the MIS run 3 Magnet Power Cables first. See Section 4-1-2. You may pull the remaining cable runs in any order.
3.
Pull the MIS run 1a cables to the target side of the cyclotron. You will terminate MIS 1a cables during Chapter 5.
4.
The MIS run 1b cables go to the vacuum side of the cyclotron and are already mounted in the CSC in crate 7. Attach the Magnet Coil Temp switch connectors to the switches shown in Illustration 4-3. (The switches are in series.) You will terminate the rest of the MIS run 1b cables during Chapter 5.
5.
Wait until you finish the outer surfaces of the shield to install the warning lights, door sensors and door motors which comprise MIS run 2. (See Sections 5-4-6 and 5-4-7.) Pull the MIS run 4 cables through the raceway on top of the shield, from the CSC to TSC. IF the RF Cable has both connectors attached, you can install this cable when you pull MIS run 5. IF the cable arrives with one or both connectors missing, follow the instructions in Appendix B, Section B-3 to determine the cable length and attach the connector. Refer to section 4-1-3 for detailed RF cable installation instructions.
6. 7.
8.
NEVER shorten the MIS Run 5 cable, SKA, that runs between the RFPG and the cyclotron vacuum chamber; this cable must ALWAYS be 40m long. You may coil and store the excess cable in the race without causing signal interference.

GE HEALTHCARE REV 5
MINItrace INSTALLATION MANUAL DIRECTION 2232994-100 10. Start the run from the Electronics or Support cabinet end first, and terminate the cables at the cyclotron last. 11. Keep power cables away from the signal cables in the raceways. The raceways are wide enough to provide space for separated power cables, signal cables, hoses, pipes and air lines. Keep runs neat and use plenty of ty-wraps. You may coil, ty-wrap and store the excess lengths of cable in the raceway.
12. PAY ATTENTION to the labels on the cables. Most signal cables have a male and female end. Make sure you orient the cables correctly when you run them. The cable label describes the termination point. (ex: The end labeled CCAB GCU P3 terminates at connector P3 of the General Control Unit in the CCAB.)
13. For best results, check off each cable in the cable list as you install it. When you finish a bundle, color the corresponding run on the MIS Map, Cable Block Diagram and/or Site plans.
14. The Cyclotron Support Cabinet (CSC) arrives with the cables already attached to the components in the Vacuum Cooling and Control panel. Remove the loose cable ends from the CSC and run them into the raceway. Use the Basic Cable Block Diagram (CAC000-51003-00-3) to locate the destinations when you run these cables.
15. The cyclotron has conduits and raceways integrated into and beneath the shield. These penetrations accommodate all the cables, hoses, pipes and tubes. The cyclotron cooling hoses exit the bottom of the CSC and run beneath the fixed shield, and into the cavity with the magnet. (See Illustration 4-15.) The power and signal cables exit the shielded raceway through the hole in the top of the fixed shield, pass through an integrated conduit, and into a raceway attached to the inner niche wall of the right fixed shield.

MINItrace INSTALLATION MANUAL DIRECTION 2232994-100 1.
GE HEALTHCARE REV 5
IF the cable arrives with both connectors attached, one end should have about 50mm of the outer insulation removed near one of the connectors, exposing the outer copper conductor. Orient the cable with the exposed conductor at the RFPG cabinet. If necessary, refer to the instructions on page 285 in Appendix B to cut away the insulation to expose the copper conductor.
2.
Run the RF Cable outside the shielded raceway. Consult with the contractor before supporting the cable or fastening it in place. Local building codes may prohibit fastening cable supports to existing components in the ceiling space. If necessary, ask the contractor to shoot some wires into the ceiling, and use them to support the cable over the suspended ceiling.
3.
You may not make a single bend in the cable with a radius of less than 180mm or multiple bends with less than 550mm radii. Refer to Illustration 4-5. If you make any bends with a smaller radius than these loops, the bend becomes permanent. Plan every bend carefully. If you must negotiate a very tight bend, and no alternative routes exist, contact the Uppsala factory for additional connector hardware and instructions.
4.
Refer to Illustration 4-6. Remove the outer connector retaining ring and C-rings from the cyclotron end of the RF cable. The connector retaining ring is held in place by internal C-rings. Use a small hammer to tap the retaining ring downward, until it slides down the body of the RF cable connector. Remove both C-rings from the connector. Remove the retaining ring from the connector. Wrap a piece of plastic or bubble wrap around the end of the cable before you insert it into the shield conduit.
5.
Start at the RFPG cabinet, and feed the cable above any suspended ceiling, toward the cyclotron. If you have to attach a connector to the cable, push the raw end through the conduit in the shield first. (See the note at the beginning of this procedure.)

Hose and Pipe Information

Every system has a unique Pipe Work Drawing, similar to Illustration 4-10. The labels on the drawing match the labels on the finished hoses. Labels for the lines you cut to length also come with the system, and should be attached after you install the tube. (Some penetrations are too small to accommodate the tubes with their labels.) The Pipe Work drawing also contains a key that describes the types and sizes of tube to use for each run. Lines run between the Cyclotron room and the Radiochemistry lab. The remainder run between the support cabinets and cyclotron subsystems. Appendix B contains instructions to make the Swagelok and RF Cable connections.
For best results: 1. 2. Hang a copy of your sites Pipe Work Drawing in the Cyclotron room. Choose a line to run. Pay attention to the number of lines listed for each run on the Pipe Work drawing. You should run eight spares for every tefzel product delivery line.

Attach the Hoses

The hoses that run between the CSC and the cyclotron have been cut to length, fitted and labeled. The hoses that run from the CSP to the CSC, and on to the RFPG and CCAB may have to be trimmed to length. The fittings are already attached to the support panels, cabinets and magnet. The hose clamps are attached to the corresponding panels, along with the mounting hardware. (The installation gang box should also have spares.) The fitted hoses use Swagelok connectors. Use a wrench to attach the fitted hoses to the system connectors. Appendix B contains information about Swagelok connectors. If you have to manufacture or refit one of the hoses, first read the information in Section B-1. The following tables contain piping connections for a dual extraction MINItrace system. If your system has additional options, you will have additional tubes and pipes to install. Every installation has its own Pipe Work drawing, which shows the system connections. Use this drawing to ensure all connections have been made on your system. For best results, color or highlight each line on the drawing as you install it.

On most sites, plumbers and fitters install the water and air lines and make the connections between the air compressor, the chiller and the CSP. The installation team makes the connections between the Cyclotron Supply Panel and Cyclotron Support Cabinet, and from there to the MINItrace subsystems. To attach an unfitted hose: 1. The hoses that run between the wall-mounted Cyclotron Supply Panel and the Cyclotron Support Cabinet (CSC) need to be cut to length from the raw hose sent with the system. a. b. Cut the end of the hose evenly, so it butts snugly against the top of the fitting. Slide a hose clamp onto the hose, then slide the hose onto the fitting.

CHAPTER 5 ASSEMBLE THE CYCLOTRON

Follow the instructions in this chapter to complete the assembly and installation of the MINItrace cyclotron and support systems. This chapter also contains the instructions to repair and finish the shields. When you complete all the Chapter 5 procedures, the system is ready for power checks and start-up. Note: Follow all the instructions in Chapter 4 before proceeding to Chapter 5 . After you complete the Chapter 4 tasks and prep the interior shield, two people may assemble the target and vacuum sides of the cyclotron simultaneously.
5-1
Introduction
The MINItrace shields house the cyclotron and part of the target and vacuum support systems. The cabinets attached to the right and left fixed shields house additional cyclotron and target support systems. Any component that has the potential to become radioactive, either during normal use or catastrophic failure, is housed inside the shields. Before you start to reassemble the cyclotron: Verify all cables and hoses from the CSC have been pulled into the interior niche. (Wait until you install the Target Cooling Manifold and Valve panel to pull the lines from the Liquid Target Filler and Helium Compressor in the TSC.) Repair any shipment damage to the interior surfaces. (Follow the application directions on the can of plastic filler.) Paint the inner and outer shield surfaces (Continue to periodically paint and touch up the surfaces until satisfied with the finish.)
Notice
Any time you paint the shields, cover any exposed components, cables or hoses with plastic. Wipe up or smooth out any drips as soon as you discover them. When you make the final door adjustments, the tolerances are so small that a dried paint drip can prevent the doors from closing. When you repair the damaged areas, sand the surfaces completely smooth before you paint them. Too much plastic filler (bond-o) will also cause problems during the final door adjustments.

Finish the Cyclotron Installation

Final Door Adjustments
If you followed the directions in section 3-5-5 of Chapter 3, the doors should be fairly well adjusted, and should have had time to settle while you installed the cables and hoses. 1. 2. Remove the wedges from the doors. Push and pull on each door and watch its motion. 3. Ideally, the door should stop when you stop applying pressure. If the door tends to drift, it should drift TOWARD the fixed shield, NOT away from the fixed shield. If the door drifts, it should NOT gain momentum as it moves; it should NOT slam into the fixed shield. The door should NOT make contact with the cyclotron. The door should rest against the fixed shield without striking it, leaving a 1 or 2mm gap between the inner surface of the door and the fixed shield.
If the door fails to meet the Step 2 criteria, adjust the bearing assembly. Recommended: Use the modified diffusion pump wrench to adjust the threads nearest the hinge. (See Illustration 5-28 on page 151.)
4. ILLUSTRATION 5-34 LIFT PLATE AND REMOTE JACK
Refer to Illustration 5-34. Attach the Lift Plate to the end of the door opposite the hinges, and use the remote jack to take the weight off the hinges.
If necessary, use pieces of steel plate to raise the remote jack into position.
To pull the door away from the fixed shields: Loosen the nuts and adjust the threads To push the door toward the shield: Adjust the threads without the nuts,.
Note: If you become "lost or confused" adjust the pusher and puller threads to align the scribe marks on the top and bottom hinge and bearing assemblies, and start again.
MINItrace INSTALLATION MANUAL DIRECTION 2232994-100 5. 6. Release the remote jack and try the door again.

CHAPTER 6 SYSTEM PHASE AND POWER CHECKS

Follow the instructions in this chapter to check the phase of the power into and out of the Mains Distribution Panel and PDU, as well as the phasing and power inputs to the subsystems.
CAUTION
The MINItrace subsystem has two phase sensitive components, the Rotary pump and the SWCU pump. If you apply power and run the pump and motor with the phases swapped, you will damage or destroy them. NEVER apply power to a MINItrace subsystem until you are sure the input power and phasing has been verified. If necessary, ohm out the wiring to the subsystem in question, and correct any cabling errors before you apply power to the component.
6-1
Input Power
The RFPG and CCAB can accept input voltages of 208VAC, 400VAC or 480VAC. The MINItrace Service Manual has a Generic Mains Distribution Drawing, CAA209-56001-xx-2, which currently applies to all three input voltages. Measure the power into the Mains Distribution Panel (MDP) to determine which voltage this site uses. In addition to the MDP circuit breakers, the customer provides one standard power outlet for the MASTER and one for the optional FDG mini lab, if present.

Water Cooling System

Follow this procedure to bleed all the air from the water lines, and check for leaky connections. Keep a bucket and mop and/or sponge nearby! Chapter 8 of the MINItrace Service Manual (Dir# 2233000) contains more detailed information about the Secondary Water Cooling System. Note: You may fill and bleed the lines as soon as you finish making all the cooling water connections, before applying power to the system. If the compressed air is not yet available, you may be able to fill the and bleed the lines just using the incoming water pressure. When you bleed the target system, things will change, so its your option to wait until the targets are in place, then fill and bleed all eight circuits in one session.
7-3-1
Fill the Secondary Water Cooling System with Water

Note: The system specifications call for the installation of two bleeder valves at the highest point in the chiller lines. The valves should be auto bleeders. Check with the contractor for the actual location(s) and types of valves used on at the facility. If you experience problems with the incoming water, you may have to check these valves. Repeat the following procedure on each cooling water circuit. Do NOT fill the Target cooling circuit until the Targets have been installed. Start with the RFPG circuit and work your way from left to right, skipping the target circuit, if necessary. 1. Check and tighten ALL the hose connections before you fill the circuit with water. 2. Tighten ALL the hose connections on the pressure side of the manifold. (upper tier)
Refer to Illustration 7-1. Check the view port on each flow meter in the lower tier (return side) to make sure you have a clear view of the interior. Sometimes the inner sleeve shifts during shipment. If this happens: a. b. c. Loosen the four hex cap set screws at the top of the meter and remove the cap.

Start up the Secondary Water Cooling System

Follow the instructions in this section to start pumping water through the secondary water cooling system. Note: The MINItrace is staged with a 50Hz water pump. If the system goes to a facility with 60Hz power frequency, the pump is changed during the disassembly and packing process. IF your site has 60Hz power, it is very important to make sure the 60Hz pump is present and rotating in the proper direction when you apply power. 1. Check that the primary cooling water temperature falls between 10 and 13oC. 2. If the water temperature falls at the low end of the range, check the hoses for condensation and make sure the pipes to the shunt are well insulated. If the water temperature falls at the high end of the range, you may have to increase the water flow through the system to provide adequate cooling.
Check the secondary cooling water temperature on the panel beneath the VCU. The water temperature should remain steady at 20oC +/- 2 degrees.
3.
Refer to Illustration 7-5. Locate the water pump beneath the return valves in the CSC. Make sure the round frequency sticker on the side cover of the pump matches the on-site power frequency. If a mismatch exists, DO NOT apply power until you replace the cooling pump.

Press the VCU Cooling ON button, on the control panel, to start the pump. Run the pump for three seconds. Refer to Illustration 7-2. Stop the pump, open the bleeder, and bleed out the air. Run the pump for six seconds. Refer to Illustration 7-2. Stop the pump, open the bleeder, and bleed out the air. Run the pump for 12 seconds. Refer to Illustration 7-2. Stop the pump, open the bleeder, and bleed out the air. Continue to start the pump for 12 seconds, stop it, and open the bleeder, until NO air escapes. When only water escapes from the bleeder, turn on the pump for two minutes, then stop the pump and bleed it. When NO air escapes after running for two minutes, you have successfully evacuated all the air from the cooling system.
After you finish bleeding the air from the system, leave the pump on, and start to open the cooling circuits. a. b. Check the water wheel, F10, above the pump for motion. Adjust V51 until you can see the blades rotate. (If the wheel looks like a blur, the flow is too fast.) Check the internal CSC components and hoses for water leaks under pressure.
8.
Open one set of pressure and return valves and check the corresponding hose connections for leaks. Continue to open each (completed) circuit in turn, while monitoring all active circuits. Periodically check the hose connections on the active circuits every day, for leaks.
9.
When you open a cooling circuit, turn the return (lower) valve fully clockwise.
10. Refer to Table 7-2 . Adjust the water flow meters in the individual circuits with the corresponding pressure valves. If the water flow falls below an acceptable level, the MSS will display an alarm.

Helium Cooling, LTF, and Target Support System Checks

Introduction
Most of the target support lines from the LTF and Target Cooling Manifold (TCM) are currently unmarked. Follow the procedures in this section to make sure the Targets and corresponding support systems are correctly installed and leak free. This manual assumes the target options are connected to the following ports: Target 1: 18F- Option; Single and Dual Extraction (page 226) Target 2: 11C Option (Refer to the MINItrace Maintenance Manual for detailed installation instructions.) Target 3: 15O Option (Refer to the MINItrace Maintenance Manual for detailed installation instructions.) Target 4: 13N Option (page 230) Target 5: Dummy (Proton) Target [All Systems] Target 6: 18F- Option; Dual Extraction only (page 226)
Your system may differ from this configuration. If so, select the target position that corresponds to the location of the target on your system. If unsure of the target configuration on your system, check the configuration files on the system MASTER. 7-2 contains the instructions to check the configuration files. Notice If the MASTER and MSS have different configuration file contents, the system wont start. If you change the physical target port location, remember to update the MASTER configuration files by saving the MSS configuration to the GSU.
When you complete the corresponding step. 1. 2. Make sure all the targets have been installed in the correct ports, and that all current sensing, cooling and product lines are securely attached. Check all the physical connections. Make sure all the hoses, pipes and tubes have been correctly installed and securely fastened. Make sure the helium and water lines to the targets are correctly oriented. The brown gas line has a green stripe, and always attaches to the upper connector. The brown water line has an orange stripe, and always attaches to the bottom connector. Both lines have the same outside diameter (1/16") but different interior diameters.
3. 4. 5.
If you didnt fill and bleed the target cooling lines when you started the Secondary Water Cooling Unit, return to 7-3 and fill the target cooling circuit. Press the VCU Cooling panel ON button to start the SWCU pump. Make sure all the gas bottles are in place and connected.

Check the Helium Cooling System

Display the Target handling screen on the MSS. a. b. 7. 8. Display the MAIN MENU. Click on the first target icon to open the 18F- Target menu page.
Click CONNECT TARGET. Click SELECT TARGET to open the water valve (7) and start the Helium cooling compressor(s). The water flow indicator in the water cooling window changes from yellow to green. (If not, the entire process shuts down with error messages.) The He-cooling indicator turns ON. The He-cooling valves open and close as the He cooling system empties and fills. The Pressure increases to 18psi and the compressor continues to run.
9.
Once the Pressure reaches 18psi, continue to monitor the system for 5 minutes. Make sure the system maintains pressure for five minutes without any error messages, alarms, or additional messages that it is filling the system with He. If the system cannot maintain pressure, or refills the system every minute or two, start looking for leaks.
10. After five minutes, click UNSELECT TARGET. The compressor should stop running.
Note: If you plan to operate the He compressor manually, click EMPTY before you click ON. You must empty the system before you can start it.

Check the Gas Connections to the
18- Target
Make sure the gas line is brown with a green stripe, and is attached to the upper connector. The water line is brown with an orange stripe, and always attaches to the bottom connector. Both lines have the same outside diameter (1/16") but different interior diameters. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Physically disconnect the gas line from the upper connector on the target. Click on the 1a valve to open the low pressure helium line to the target. Place your finger over the end of the tube and check for the flow of gas. Click on the 1a valve to close it. Check that the gas stops flowing from the tube. Click on the 1b valve to open the high pressure helium line to the target. Place your finger over the end of the tube and check that the flow of gas is much stronger than before. Click on the 1b valve to close it and stop the flow of gas from the line. Reattach the brown and green line to the upper connector.
10. Click on the 1b valve to open the high pressure line to the target, and check that it takes less than one minute for the pressure to reach 300 to 320psi. IF the pressure exceeds 320psi, or it takes longer than one minute to reach pressure, adjust the regulator on the customer side of the gas manifold. IF you cannot reach pressure by adjusting the customer regulator, the line could be blocked. Locate the needle valve directly behind the P1 connector to the LTF. Back off one turn on the knurled silver knob for a few seconds, then retighten the knob one turn.
11. Click on the 2b outlet valve to release the target pressure. 12. Repressurize the target. 13. When the target pressure reaches 300 to 320psi, click on the 1b valve to close it. 14. Monitor the level for at least two minutes to make sure it doesnt drop. IF the target pressure falls below 300psi during the two minute time period, tighten all the high pressure PEEK connections, and try again. If necessary, fill a spray bottle with soapy water, set it to the "mist" position and use it to check the system for leaks. You may also use SNOOP (available from plumbing supply stores) or the helium detector that ships with the MINItrace, to find any leaks.
15. Dual Extraction systems: Select Target 6 and repeat Step 1 through Step 14. 16. Check the product line connections to the hot lab: a. b. Click on the 1a valve to open the low pressure helium line to the target. Click on the 2a and 2b outlet valves to open the line to the hot lab.

Check the F18- Target Water and Product Line Connections

The water line is brown with an orange stripe, and always attaches to the bottom connector. A single line supplies both the 16O and 18O water to the 18F- target. Notice Make sure you use the sterile, deionized 16O water during these tests. Do NOT use the extremely expensive 18O water until specifically told to do so during the functional testing phase of the start-up process. Use only 16O water to test the timing and connections of both LTF syringes. 1. 2. 3. 4. Fill the 16O vial on the LTF with water, and insert a needle into the vial. Move the MSS near the TSC. Leave the valves in their current state, so the water doesnt leave the LTF. Click on the syringe icon on the MSS and watch the syringe fill in the LTF. 5. The syringe should take about 10 seconds to fill.
Click on the syringe icon on the MSS and watch the syringe empty in the LTF. The syringe should take about 4 seconds to empty.
6.
Continue to click on the syringe icon to fill and empty the LTF syringe while you check the timing. Too fast: The increased pressure could pop the needle out of the water vial. Too slow: The pump may not fill correctly; insufficient water to the target.
Note: The fill and empty times were set at the factory, and should be fine. If you need to adjust the fill or empty times, locate the screws at the top and bottom of the syringe body. Adjust the bottom screw to change the syringe speed and fill time. Adjust the upper screw to change the time to empty the syringe. 7. 8. 9. Remove the bottom (brown/orange) line from the target connector, and put it in a bottle, to catch the water. Click on the syringe icon to fill the LTF syringe. Click on valve 3 to open it. (Click on valve 4 when you test the 18O connections.)
10. Click on the syringe icon to empty the syringe. Check that a steady stream of water flows from the tube.
11. Reattach the water line to the bottom connector on the target.

Beam Tuning
Follow the procedures in this section to condition the system and tune the beam, to prepare the system for functional testing. This section assumes the Secondary Cooling Water, Vacuum, Magnet, and RF System start up procedures were successfully completed.
7-9-1
Condition the System

Note: Return to this section any time you open the chamber. If you make a physical adjustment to the Ion Source or do anything to the interior of the vacuum chamber that exposes new metal, expect a significant increase in conditioning time. 1. If necessary: a. b. 2. 3. 4. 5. Press the VCU Cooling panel ON button to start the cooling water pump. Press PUMP at the VCU to pump down the chamber to the standby state.
Connect the Service PC (MSS) to the port on in the narrow CSC. Display the BEAM CONTROL page. Click GAS ON to clear the pipe to the Ion Source (IS). The Vacuum chamber pressure will increase from the -7 range, to 1.5 to 2.5 x 10-5 when you turn on the gas. Let the chamber pump down with the gas on for at least 30 minutes.
6. 7. 8. 9.
After 30 minutes, click GAS OFF so you can change MSS pages. Display the MAGNET SYSTEM page. Click the magnet ON button. Set the magnet current to the value listed on the factory data sheets.
10. Display the RF SYSTEM page. 11. Type/enter a Set Frequency value of 80%. 12. Click SAVE FREQUENCY to set the upper range limit for the frequency sweep. 13. Type/enter a Dee Voltage value of 25kV, which equals 50% of full power. 14. Click STANDBY. The system should take about one minute to transition from the STANDBY to the READY state.
15. When the STANDBY indicator changes to READY, click NORMAL. During the conditioning process, the Dee Voltage status changes from START MODE, to SPARKS and TUNING MODE as the system sets up the scanning frequency and Dee voltage.
232
GE HEALTHCARE REV 5
MINItrace INSTALLATION MANUAL DIRECTION 2232994-100 16. When the Dee Voltage status changes to a steady DEE VOLTS OK for 3 minutes, click on the UP arrow to increase the Dee Voltage. IF you dont see a DEE VOLTS OK after 5 minutes, drop the Dee Voltage to 15kV, and restart the conditioning process.
17. Continue to increase the Dee Voltage, until the system reaches a steady DEE VOLTS OK for 5 minutes at 35kV (normal operating voltage). 18. During the Beam Tuning process, return to this section anytime you introduce a new variable that causes the system to spark. Drop the Dee Voltage to 25kV until the status changes to a steady DEE VOLTS OK, then increase the Dee Voltage back to 35kV. If the system doesnt reach DEE VOLTS OK at 25kV, drop down to 15kV, and start from there.
7-9-2
Tune the Beam

Once the Dee Voltage status reaches a steady DEE VOLTS OK at the 35kV setting, you can start to tune the beam. Whenever the system starts to spark, return to the conditioning process. Dual Extraction systems tend to be more non linear than Single Extraction systems until the IS current reaches 200mA. 1. 2. Display the BEAM CONTROL page. Click RF NORMAL to set the Dee Voltage to the value in the configuration file. 3. The RF SYSTEM values displayed on this page are more of a mean, and not as "realtime" as the values on the RF SYSTEM page.
When the status changes to a steady DEE VOLTS OK, click GAS ON. The system will start to spark and retune the frequency. Allow the system to remain in this condition until it starts to stabilize.
4.
When the status changes to a steady DEE VOLTS OK, click PROBE IN. The Flip-in Probe protects the target from the beam.
5. 6.
Click IS ON. Type/enter a Current Set value of 10mA. Even though the field may display a value when you click IS ON, its probably the last typed value, which the system ignores, so you have to type in a new value. IF the system starts to spark when you enter the 10mA value, change the Current Set value to 0mA, and return to the conditioning process in section 7-9-1.
Note: When you set a new IS current, the IS Voltage should increase to about 900v, then slowly decrease as the actual IS Current value increases to the Set value. IF the ION SOURCE voltage goes above 1kV, check the cable connection to the Ion Source. (Especially if you have taken the IS assembly out of the vacuum chamber.) The coax cable has an extra long sleeve, which can deceive you into thinking its connected when it really isnt.
GE HEALTHCARE REV 5
If the Dee Voltage is OK, and the current reading on the Flip-In Probe equals 1A, wait one to two minutes, then increase the ION SOURCE Current Set value to the each of the following values for at least two minutes.
Note: If the system starts to spark, enter a value of 0mA, and return to the conditioning process. When changing from a lower to higher current, or lowering the current to a non zero value, the system ramps up/down. When you set the current to zero, it goes immediately to zero. 20mA should produce a Flip-In Probe current of 2A 20% 30mA should produce a Flip-In Probe current of 3A 20% 40mA should produce a Flip-In Probe current of 4A 20% 50mA should produce a Flip-In Probe current of 5A 20% 100mA should produce a Flip-In Probe current of 10A 20% 200mA should produce a Flip-In Probe current of 20A 15% 300mA should produce a Flip-In Probe current of 30A 15% 500mA should produce a Flip-In Probe current of 50A 15% 1000mA should produce a Flip-In Probe current of 100A 15%
Note: IF you dont see a Probe current of 100A 15% on the probe at 1000mA IS current, then its time to check the Dee adjustments and the position of the Ion Source slit. Follow the maintenance and service instructions in Direction 2233000.

Resize the Collimator Opening

Follow the procedure in this section to reposition the collimator, to raise or lower the point where the beam strikes the target, without changing the collimator diameter. Liquid targets are pressurized with helium to increase the boiling point of the target liquid. The gas forms a bubble at the top of the target chamber. The collimator is positioned to direct the beam below the center point of the target, to avoid this bubble. On gas targets, the collimator is positioned to direct the beam to the center of the target. 1. Measure the collimator opening with calipers to determine the factory setting. The standard collimator diameter is about 6mm, but could be as large as 8mm.
239
MINItrace INSTALLATION MANUAL DIRECTION 2232994-100 2. Look at the burn mark on the paper target. 3.
GE HEALTHCARE REV 5
IF the top of the liquid target burn mark -or- the center of the gas target burn mark falls below the horizontal line, raise the entire collimator. IF the bottom of the burn mark -or- the center of the gas target burn mark falls above the horizontal line, lower the entire collimator.
Determine the distance to move the beam. a. b. Measure the distance between the actual and optimal burn mark location. Divide this value in half. (Refer to the example on the next page)
4.
Use metric drill bits to reposition the collimator while maintaining the original diameter. Remember to keep the drill bits perpendicular to the angled target port when you insert them into the collimator opening to make the adjustments. (Refer to Illustration 7-28 and the example, on the next page.)
Example: The burn mark is 2mm too high, and the collimator diameter is 6mm. To shift the collimator down 1mm: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Loosen the bottom collimator blade. Insert a 7mm drill bit into the opening, move the bottom blade against the bit and tighten into place. Loosen the top collimator blade. Insert a 6mm drill into the opening and move the top blade against the bit. Tighten the top collimator blade. Return to 7-10, on page 235.

B-1 Swagelok Tube Fitting Connections
The 1/16", 1/8" and 3/8" lines use Swagelok Tube Fittings. This section contains a set of installation instructions for all three sizes. The connections are the same for all the types of pipes and tubes used on the system. However, the size of the pipe or tube determines whether you tighten the nut 270o (3/4 turn) or 450o (1 and 1/4 turn). Note: If you havent used a Swagelok tube fitting before, take one apart and examine the pieces. (Look for the shoulder, inside the Swagelok body) Put the fitting back together, and follow the instructions to insert the hose. Stop after Step 5 to examine your work. After you make a couple of connections, youll get a feel for the process, and wont have to check the clearance on the ferrules each time. 1. 2. Make sure the end of the pipe or tube is round, has an even edge, and is free from burrs. Refer to Illustration B-1. The pre assembled Swagelok connector consists of a body, two ferrules and a nut. The back ferrule fits into the front ferrule, and the both ferrules nest inside the nut. There is also a tube insert to secure the tube connection.

Loosen the nut, without removing it from the body, and push the tube or piping into the back of the nut, through both ferrules, until it just reaches the shoulder in the Swagelok body. Then back off a millimeter or two. The end of the tube should clear the front ferrule by 2 or 3mm, but should not touch the shoulder in the Swagelok body. (Illustration B-1 and Illustration B-3) To check the clearance, remove the nut and push on the hose to expose the ferrules. The hose end should extend 2 or 3mm beyond the end of the front ferrule. If OK, pull the hose and ferrules back into the nut and reattach it to the Swagelok body.

PEEK Connections
The 18F- and 13N Target systems use PEEK tubes between the Liquid Target Filler and the Target. The LTF also has additional PEEK tubing and connections. Usually, the 1/16" PEEK tube uses the same Swagelok connectors as the 1/16" Tefzel tubes (B-1), but the PEEK tubes also use connections like the one shown in Illustration B-7 to provide a quick method to disconnect the Target from the LTF. The LTF vials also use needles with a similar fitting.

RF Cable
The RF cable consists of a hollow inner copper conductor centered within a hollow outer copper conductor, and held in place with a spiral plastic spacer. Both conductors have corrugated ribs that act as threads. The RF cable arrives in a coil, usually with a connector attached to at least one end. IF the cable has a connector attached to both ends, return to section 4-1-3. IF you must attach one or both connectors, follow the instructions in this section.
Note: You must take two restrictions into consideration to determine the length of the RF cable. 1. 2. The cable may only be cut in increments of 1.41 meters (including the connectors) You may not make a bend in the cable with a radius of less than 180mm (single bend) or 550mm (multiple bends).
Read all the information in the entire RF cable section (Section B-3-1 through B-3-3) at least once before you remove the ty-wraps and run the RF cable. For best results: Decide how to run and suspend or support the cable from the RFPG to the top of the Cyclotron shield. Most MINItrace systems have the electronics cabinets in the same room as the Cyclotron, so the run should be fairly short and straight. Measure the length of the planned cable run and round it up to the nearest segment. Measure and cut the cable to length. Cover the unfinished end, to prevent any dirt or debris from entering the cable. The finished end should have about 50mm of insulation removed from the cable (about 20mm above the connector). Attach this end to the RFPG cabinet connection. Run the RF cable from the RFPG to the top of the MINItrace shield. Dont make the RFPG connection until after you finish the cable end at the magnet. Insert the unfinished cable end into the shield first, then attach the connector.

GE HEALTHCARE REV 5 ILLUSTRATION B-10 COILED CABLE
Sharper bends than this become permanent. Make a curve in the cable to negotiate a sharp turn, or follow an alternate route.
B-3-1
Determine the RF Cable Length

Normally, the run between the RFPG cable and MINItrace Cyclotron is fairly short and straight, because the electronics cabinets are usually located in the same room as the Cyclotron. If the cabinets are located in a different room, you may have to make some extra bends in the cable. Refer to Illustration B-10. Examine the coiled cable before you cut the ty-wraps. If you make bends in the cable with a sharper turn, the bends become permanent. So, rather than bending the cable around a corner, you must curve the cable around it. (REMEMBER to add the excess length of this curve to the cable measurement.) Note: To negotiate a really sharp turn, you may have to make a cut in the cable, and insert a 90o connector. If this is the case, call the factory in Uppsala for advice and information. IF possible, make a dry run and measure the distance on the RF cable. Otherwise, use string (rope) or one of the other cables to make the run and measure the distance. Refer to Illustration B-10. If you make any bends with a smaller radius than these loops, the bend becomes permanent. Plan every bend carefully.
To determine the final cable length: 1. Measure the exact metric length of the cable run you plan to follow, from the connector on the RFPG cabinet to the connector on the magnet (Illustration B-11), including the extra wide curves and loops needed to negotiate corners or complex penetrations. Round this figure up to the nearest 1.41meter increment 3. Ex: 5.64, 7.05, 8.46, 9.87, 11.28, 12.69... up to a maximum length of 25.38m
2.
Measure the cable one more time, and cut the cable to length.

Locate and Disassemble the Connector

Locate the RF Cable connector. The connector ships, pre-assembled, in a plastic bag, along with a set of generic instructions. This section contains the specific instructions for this application. The connector consists of: A termination sleeve that fits over the outer conductor and rests against the cable insulation. A threaded socket that screws into the inner conductor. An inner subassembly that fits over the inner conductor and threaded socket. (You do not have to remove the inner subassembly from the connector head when you disassemble the connector.) An o-ring gasket seal between the termination sleeve and connector head. A flanged connector head that slides over the inner subassembly and fastens to the termination sleeve with six cap head screws. Six cap head screws and washers, and one left-threaded screw and copper washer. Two black plastic plugs and a copper gasket (not used).

Attach the Connector to the Cable

Cut the Cable to its Finished Length The actual length of the RF cable equals the distance from the outer connector edge to outer connector edge. So, the first step is to cut 80mm (8cm) off the unfinished edge, to compensate for the length added to the cable by the connector head. 1. 2. 3. Measure 80mm from the unfinished edge of the cable and mark the cable for cutting. Measure 55mm from the cut mark, and evenly wrap a piece of masking tape around the cable, so the upper edge meets the 55mm mark. Cut the cable at the mark you made 80mm from the unfinished edge. 4. Try to make a straight (perpendicular) cut. If possible, stuff a cloth into the cable opening and/or tilt the cable downward so the debris (swarf) created while cutting stays out of the interior of the cable.
After you make the cut, tap the cable against a solid surface to remove any chips from the interior of the conductors.

Using the tape as a guide, take a knife or razor blade and trim the insulation as evenly as possible along the edge of the tape, and as perpendicular as possible to the outer conductor. The goal is to create an even and solid edge to butt against the termination sleeve.
2.
Clean the sticky black adhesive substrate (glue) off the outer conductor with solvent. If available, use a heat gun to loosen (and melt) the adhesive. Take care not to warp the remaining insulation with the heat gun.

Cut the Outer Conductor to Length 1. After you clean the adhesive from outer conductor, tap the cable against a solid surface to remove any debris from the interior, then gently clamp the cable into the vise. Refer to Illustration B-13. Slip the pipe jig over the end of the cable, and slide it down the outer conductor until the inner shoulder rests firmly against the edge of the insulation. Insert the hacksaw blade into the slot, and cut through the outer conductor. Keep turning the jig and, if necessary, adjusting the hacksaw blade, to trim away the excess 20mm of outer conductor, while leaving the inner conductor intact. Use diagonal cutters to trim back any excess spiral plastic spacer. Refer to Illustration B-17. When you finish, the outer conductor should measure 35mm from insulation to outer edge. The inner conductor should now stick out an additional 20mm from the outer edge of the outer conductor.

Then drop the bar into the notch on the collar. Carefully tighten the knurled screw on the bar to snug the assembly into place. When you finish: The inner conductor should just rest against the flanging assembly. The flanging assembly should be parallel to the collar/termination sleeve. The flanging wheel should be positioned between the inner and outer conductors, with the edge resting lightly against the outer conductor. (Notched wheel adjusts position) The bar should fit all the way into the notch on the collar, perpendicular to both the collar and the flanging assembly.

The flanging wheel presses the edge of the outer conductor against the Termination Sleeve to fasten it into place.
6.
Refer to Illustration B-20 and Illustration B-21. Turn the handle slowly and smoothly. As you turn the handle, the flanging tool folds the outer conductor back against the Termination Sleeve without splitting the conductor. Then, it presses the conductor firmly against the Termination Sleeve, which in turn presses the Termination Sleeve firmly against the insulation. If necessary, adjust the notched wheel to change the relationship between the flanging wheel and the outer conductor (increase or decrease the pressure.)
7. 8.
Continue to turn the handle and adjust the notched wheel until the flanging wheel has completely flattened the outer conductor against the Termination Sleeve. Loosen the screw and temporarily slip the flanging tool bar out of the notch on the collar. Pull up on the knurled section of the flanging assembly and rotate the flanging wheel out of the way, and the cutting bit into its place. Reattach the bar to the collar, and adjust the notched wheel until the cutting bit rests against the folded back portion of the conductor.
9.
10. Refer to Illustration B-22.Turn the handle slowly and smoothly. The cutting bit trims excess material away from the flanged portion of the conductor as you turn the handle. The edge is still sharp, so take care. 11. After you trim excess copper from the flanged edge, you may remove the flanging tool from the Termination Sleeve. Loosen the knurled screw, remove the bar from the notch in the collar, and let the flanging assembly hang from its hinge. Loosen the 4mm cap head screws to detach the flanging tool from the Termination Sleeve. Move the flanging wheel back into its position nearest the collar, to set the flanging tool up for the next connector, before you return the tool to the box.

Slide a steel washer down the shaft of each of the six 5mm cap head screws. Fasten the Connector Head to the Termination Sleeve, and use your fingers to start the screws, and barely fasten them into place.
8.
Use a 5mm allen wrench to cross-tighten the screws: Tighten down one screw, then tighten down the screw directly opposite it (180o). Continue to fasten down each pair of screws, until all three sets are firmly fastened. (When you tighten one set of screws, the other two sets will become loose until youve completely clamped the Connector Head to the Termination Sleeve, and compressed the gasket.) When all three sets of screws feel tight, try each screw in turn, until you have "tightened" your way once around the circumference of the Connector Head. Try the first screw again, and if it moves, tighten once more in the opposite direction around the circumference of the Connector Head.
9.
Slide the copper washer down the shaft of the left-threaded screw, and insert it into the center of the connector head, and into the Threaded Socket you inserted into the inner conductor.

APPENDIX G RFPG TRANSFORMER TAPS

G-1 Introduction
This instruction provides the information to determine the mains selection, in order to configure the RFPG taps to a particular mains supply The RFPG cabinet has only one transformer, the EHT Transformer T1, which requires its taps to be set. The EHT Transformer T1 is a three phase transformer, located in the TPSU, and accessed from the bottom front or rear panels of the RFPG. The EHT transformer is used to generate the anode voltage for the power amplifier tube. All the other RFPG components are powered from the mains transformer in the Control Cabinet (CCAB). This appendix does NOT address the tapping of the CCAB transformer. If the mains voltage is low (108 V 132 V phase to neutral) you must change the mains circuit breaker SW1, and the mains filter FL1 in the RFPG, before you can set the EHT Transformer taps.

Measure the Incoming Power

1. 2. 3. Open the lower rear panel of the RFPG. Find the TB4 terminal blocks, located in the left rear side of the TPSU. Use a digital voltmeter, with better than 1.5% accuracy on r.m.s. a.c. voltage for this measurement. At the TB4 terminal blocks, measure the phase voltages, L1 N, L2 N and L3 N. Neutral N is not required for the RFPG EHT transformer, so some installations may not have a neutral connected to TB4. If so, measure the line voltages L1 L2, L2 L3 and L1 L3. Calculate the phase voltages by dividing the line voltage values by 3

Determine the Average Voltage and Fluctuations

1. 2. Record the three phase voltages as VPL1, VPL2 and VPL3. Use the following formula to calculate the average phase voltage VPA . VPL1 + VPL2 + VPL3 VPA = ________________ 3 3. Record this value. Attempt to obtain information about the loading of the installation mains supply, so you can take measurements during peak and minimum loads. From the results determine minimum and maximum values VPAMIN and VPAMAX. Use the following formula to calculate VPAMEAN VPAMEAN = (VPAMIN + VPAMAX)/2 5. VPAMEAN equals the mean value of the mains voltage. - Preferably the minimum and maximum values of the mains voltage should not differ by more than 5% from the mean value. - Section elect tapping configuration according to section 3 of this instruction.

Overview
Notice All Mains voltage values refer to voltages from phase to neutral. 1. 2. 3. Refer to Table G-1 . Use the value VPAMEAN, calculated in the previous section. Find the nearest value to VPAMEAN in the Table G-1 . Proceed to the corresponding "Tapping Configuration" figure which provides the information to configure the transformer. - A configuration could entail the fitting of up to 5 links per terminal block. The links are supplied attached to the RFPG. Please retain the spare links in case the mains supply changes and a new configuration is required. - Furthermore, for each particular mains voltage, terminals have to be chosen on the transformer for the incoming phase leads. Notice Read Section G-4 before proceeding further.

Procedure to Replace SW1 and FL1

Follow the procedure in this section to replace circuit breaker, SW1, and Mains filter, FL1, for higher current operation. If the VPAMEAN is such that its nearest value is 112, 120 or 128 V then the circuit breaker SW1 at the front of the TPSU must be changed to a higher rating, or it will continually trip. You must also change the Mains filter, FL1, to a higher rating. Notice Refer to parts list CAC223-36005-xx-4 for the circuit breaker SW1 part information. Refer to parts list CAC223-36000-xx-4 for mains filter FL1 part information.
