1 LBT Q Eng/SW Review ECS: Enclosure Control System

2 Highlights (Q3/2008) We continue to monitor enclosure track, recently performed PM on the rail: bevelling the edges, cleaning the track, and torquing all of the bolts We continue to monitor enclosure track, recently performed PM on the rail: bevelling the edges, cleaning the track, and torquing all of the bolts Enclosure rotation runs at 1.5 deg/sec without problems, just a little noisy Enclosure rotation runs at 1.5 deg/sec without problems, just a little noisy The dewpoint of the compressed air lines to the mirror cells is hovering around -100 deg C The dewpoint of the compressed air lines to the mirror cells is hovering around -100 deg C E-stop bypass push buttons have been installed and tested on vent doors and shutter doors E-stop bypass push buttons have been installed and tested on vent doors and shutter doors Installed another two new latch station donuts (SL1011 and SL0704 closed positions). They are performing well. Installed another two new latch station donuts (SL1011 and SL0704 closed positions). They are performing well. Latch stations: no failures for the last two quarters, completed PM on all latch stations again this fall.
