Monitoring and Emergency Shutdown of Hall C Systems

The HMS superconducting magnets require special monitoring and control procedures. The ``Operational Safety Procedures for Hall C" containing these procedures are located in the Hall C Counting House on the console next to the magnet control screens/keyboards. The instructions will enable the shift personnel to perform routine operation of the magnets during Hall C commissioning. In addition, there is a set of seven large labeled red emergency shut down ``crash" buttons and two key switches in the center of the Hall C control room console. The buttons have the following functions:
  1. Emergency Accelerator Shutdown (activated when beam is enabled for Hall C).
  2. Emergency power supply shutdown for superconducting quadrupole Q1.
  3. Emergency power supply shutdown for superconducting quadrupole Q2.
  4. Emergency power supply shutdown for superconducting quadrupole Q3.
  5. Emergency power supply shutdown for HMS superconducting dipole.
  6. Emergency shutdown of all short-orbit-spectrometer (SOS) magnet power supplies.
  7. Emergency shut down of all ``clean" power in the end station - kills clean power in the HMS shield house where the detector components are located.
The keys have the following functions:
  1. Disables power to all four HMS superconducting magnet power supplies. Essentially, this key electrically locks the four HMS crash buttons to their in (crash) positions. It does not disable power to the cryogenic systems or magnet control computer.
  2. Disables power to all three SOS magnet power supplies and the moller magnet power supply. Essentially, this key electrically locks the SOS crash buttons to their in (crash) positions.
There are also TV cameras (displayed at the Hall C console) viewing the HMS detector, the general Hall area, the Hall C personnel access door, the targets, and the beamline phosphor viewers.
