DESIGN OF THE HATCH OF THE INSTRUMENT BOOTH OF EUSO-BALLOON version v1.2 Writer : SYLVIE DAGORET- CAMPAGNE Final tests and Health tests1

Purpose of the hatch The hatch is a kind of box of 17 cm x 17 cm x 6 cm inside the top wall of the Instrument Booth. During final tests and health tests the electronics of the internal booth is connected to external equipment to shunt : SIREN which may not be available Batteries to spare the cells Last checking tests are done to be sure the whole detector works as expected. Final tests and Health tests2 Hatch open

Hatch closed For the flight, the cables to external equipments are removed, SIREN is installed definitely inside the IB, the connectors are plugged with the terminal plugs, the hatch box is closed. The instrument works with SIREN and its own battery The whole instrument booth (IB) has to be kept totally watertight even if splash fall in water Final tests and Health tests3 Hatch closed

Cables having to pass through the hatch The cables from both side are connected through a series of feedthrough connectors passing through the wall of the hatch box. During the tests the active subsystems of IB are connected to the external equipments and for flight, the external cables are removed, the internal cables are kept in place and the feedthrough connectors inside the hatch box is ended by plugs.

LED For Final Tests and Health Tests: This is to put a stabilised voltage for pulsing with photons the PDM FS. The feedthough has to be of good quality to avoid water entering inside the instrument. Integrating sphere optional Final tests and Health tests10

External PMT For Final Tests : The purpose is to check there is no light leakage inside the Instrument booth. Need to feed the voltage divider by HV (BNC-SHV) Need to read the anode with lemo/BNC May be kept in-situe for health test to check LED is pulsing correctly Final tests and Health tests11

PDM-B This is to read the PDM-B directly on a PC to perform special studies that shunt the DP. This is optional but probably usefull for debugging during final tests (not health tests). It is possible to select the Data Output of the PDM-B by a command from DP. This requires to have the NI inside the IB (instrument booth). The question is can we find a watertight USB plug for flight Final tests and Health tests12

CPU Ethernet To be watertight the usual RJ45 Ethernet connector will not be used. We should use a DB9 feedthrough. In Flight : A plug DB9 is used to loop back to SIREN Ethernet. External Trigger For final tests, like PDM-FS position adjustment with a motor, the CPU- DAQ is triggered externally A BNC/lemo is proposed with the most watertight solution proposed. Final tests and Health tests13

HK RS422 : We will use a DB9 feedthrough (watertight). In Flight : A plug DB9 is used to loop back to SIREN RS422/RS232. Final tests and Health tests14

LVPS-HK This is the port through which the instrument start to be turned on. This is an analog signal on open drain from a dedicated SIREN output. The proposed connection is through BNC/lemo (depending on watertightness) This connection is doubled to loop back from SIREN to LVPS HK during the flight Final tests and Health tests15

Motor DB25 connector is enough Final tests and Health tests16

Open points The hatch panel has still to be confirmed in the 15th meeting The choice of the feedthrough has to be done according compromises on: – Price/ connector quality – Full Water tightness for sea landing – Reusability during the same flight campaign No idea about the turn on off HVPS ?
