Comment to Power Outage (37506)
X2700 and Y2100 show a negative value because one of MOXA/Saba-taro which is proto-type of a new MOXA/Saba-taro system is now unreachable.
X2700 and Y2100 aren't used for any interlock and situation at them should be not so bad according to readout values at X1500, X3000, Y1500, and Y3000.
So recovering them doesn't seem to be so urgent.
But please be careful absolute of readout values at these two CC-10 represent pressure values when MOXA/Saba-taro was reachable in last time (probably before blackout)
and please check MOXA/Saba-taro after recovering works for other urgent equipment will be finished.

Tx Temp sensor at Pcal-X gives a strange value

I found the output of Tx temperature sensor is providing strange value "-100" now.
The value before the power outage was about 24 dgree.
We need to check it later.

Because the Pcal-X was turned OFF from 9/14 JST, this is not caused by the laser related phenomenon, but might by electrical noise duo to the power outage?

Comment to Recovery Status Following the Sep.21 Power Outage (37511)
Turned on the air conditioning in the morning before starting up k1boot. Room temperature had already risen to about 40°C at that point.

After confirming power was restored to the mine entrance, began DAQ recovery work. Started up DC, FW, TW, and NDS — DC was operating normally, but noticed that the MEDM displays for FW, TW, and NDS had some trouble.

Also noticed that the LED on DC's DAQ-out side NIC was off. Connected to the DAQ switch via serial console and found that a fault had occurred on the switch side.

Recovered by power-cycling the DAQ switch (cold boot — unplugging and replugging the power cable). FW, TW, and NDS then recovered automatically afterward.

Recovery Status Following the Sep.21 Power Outage

Oshino-san, DanChen-san, Washimi-san, Ikeda

Related to K-Log#37506 

Below is a summary of the recovery work following the power outage on September 21.

DC Power Supplies

* All central DC power supplies for both the 24 V and 18 V systems had tripped.
* The DC power supplies at both end stations and on the second floor had not tripped and had recovered to a state in which power was being supplied.
* The front-panel power buttons on the V2 I/O chassis were OFF after power was restored. This is the expected behavior following a power outage.

FEPCs

* k1ix1, k1iy0, k1asc0, and k1test0 had restarted but stopped during the boot process because k1boot was unavailable and the required file systems could not be mounted.
* All other FEPCs were powered off.

The following recovery work was performed on the real-time systems:

1. After waiting for the air-conditioning system and k1boot to recover, we switched off the 18 V and 24 V power supplies. On the rack side, we also switched off the circuit breakers, chassis power supplies, and power strips.

2. We placed the control panels in operation mode.

3. For both the 24 V and 18 V systems, we performed the following sequence:

   * Switched on the power supply
   * Measured the voltage at the circuit breaker
   * Switched on the circuit breaker
   * Measured the voltage at the power strip
   * Switched on the power strip
   * Switched on the chassis power supply

4. After powering on all equipment in the central area, we followed the same procedure for the second floor of the central area and the first and second floors of both the X- and Y-end stations. We also powered on the workstations.

Some equipment, including the OMC PZT drivers, POS-related equipment, and several other devices, remains powered off.

The DC power supplies on the second floor of the central area and on the first and second floors of both end stations had remained on. However, all real-time PCs and I/O chassis had their power switches set to OFF, so we switched them on.

5. We restored the real-time computers in the central area.

Recovered:

* Without Dolphin:
  k1mcf0, k1ix1, k1iy1, k1ex1, k1ey1, k1ex0, k1ey0, k1test0, k1iy0

* With Dolphin:
  k1lsc0, k1asc0, k1als0, k1ioo, k1ioo1, k1imc0

Although some systems show drift in IRIGB_TIME, we confirmed that they have otherwise recovered and are operating normally.

Remaining systems:

* Without Dolphin:
  k1px1 — The electronics power supply has not yet been checked.

* With Dolphin:
  k1pr2, k1pr0, k1prm, k1bs, k1sr2, k1sr3, k1srm, k1omc0, k1omc1

The cards on k1pr2 are not being recognized. Due to time constraints, we will investigate the issue in detail tomorrow.

Recovery of vacuum readout after the blackout
Nine of the 14 K1:VAC-PRESSURE channels showed -1.0 after the blackout on Sep. 21.
The CC10Listener processes on five RaspPi (.181, .185, .187, .189, .190) had failed to start at the power restoration and systemd gave up retrying ("Start request repeated too quickly"), same as klog#36502.
All channels recovered after restarting the processes.

Power Outage

[Power outage]

According to the auto mail system for the electrical system trouble,

The power outage happened at 2026/09/21 18:08:16,  and its recovery was at 2026/09/21 18:09:18.

Almost a 1-minute power outage. This is consistent with the report from an IPMU member via e-mail about the power outage at the IPMU building and the Kamioka Complex Building.

 

[Electricity Recovery Situation]

Atotsu Koguchi: still no electricity. According to Nakai-denki-san, Only the cubicle at the Atotsu entrance has no automatic recovery function, while other cubicles at EY end and the corner have it. It is quite strange design. Anyway, Uchiyama-kun, Oshino-kun, and Nakai-denki-san will go to the Atotsu entrance around 8:00 for recovery. Also Fukumura-san will be at the DAB.

Actually, no network and no webcam images, no warning system, no PHS, and no dry air are available at the Atotsu entrance after some of them were alive because of a battery.

Other places (Corner XY ends): recovered.

 

[Auto action after the power outage and to dos]

  • All GVs were closed.
  • All pumps seemed to stop. All TMPs except for SRM had an interlock system. The TMP/DRY for SRM has no interlock system, but the GV between the TMP and dry pump is expected to close due to its fail-safe system.
  • Ion pumps are also expected to stop because of a 1-minute power outage. 
  • Cryocoolers and their water-supplying system seem to have stopped. We can verify this with webcam images. Vacuum level in each cryostat (IXC, IYC, EYC) is expected to worsen because of the temperature increase of the duct shields.
  • The precision coolers for the PSL room and BS area seem to be automatically recovered, and we verified their operation by web cameras. However, the target temperature seems to be changing from the set values. ~21C is expected for the PSL room, but 23.7C at present. 18C for BS, but 22 at present. 23.7C for the PSL room should be set back at ~ 21:00 again before restarting the IR laser.
  • Green lasers seem to be operating due to the batteries. The IR laser seems to have stopped. The water chiller also stopped, according to the image of webcamers. The water chiller system for beam dumpers are also expected to stop. So we need to restart it when the IR laser is recovered.
  • The water supply system seemed to have recovered automatically by webcam, and the fact that the precission coolers are working well.
  • Dehumidifiers (Corner station and TMP area): All seemed to stop. We need to restart manually.
  • Coolers
    • Corner
      • Daikin coolers at MCF, BS, SRM, and the Corner Machine room seemed to stop. They can be restarted by switching to be off, then to the cooling mode again. 
      • Daikin cooler at IYC stopped originally.
      • Hitachi cooler at IYV: I guess it stopped. We need to restart it.
      • Hitachi cooler at IYX: It originally stopped.
    • Ends
      • EXC:  I guess it stopped. We need to restart one, not two.
      • EXV: It originally stopped.
      • EYC: It originally stopped.
      • EYV: It originally stopped.
  • Heaters in each area
    • Corner
      • MCF(Delonghi): stopped. We need to turn it on manually.
      • PR2(Sunrise): stopped. I checked its response and turned it off again.
      • IXV, IYV (Delonghi): stopped. We need to turn it on manually.
      • Others (PR3, BS, SR3) stopped originally.
    • Ends
      • EYV (Sunrise): stopped. I recovered it at level 1
      • EYC (2 x Sunrise): stopped. I recovered it at level 2
      • EYC (Delonghi): stopped. We need to turn it on manually.
      • EXV (Delonghi): stopped. We need to turn it on manually.
      • EXC (Sunrise) : stopped originally
  • DGS/DMG system
    • Coolers in the control room in DAB: stopped and 40C dgrees before turning on coolers by Ohino-kun and Washimi-kun.
    • Coolers in the computer room in KAGRA: They seemed to stop. Some of the DAQ and DMG systems kept working. So the temperature is now gradually increasing. Ikeda-san tried to stop several systems. DMG system kept working.

Remove the beam duct between the MCE chamber and the optical table
2026/09/18
Ushiba, Uchiyama

We successfully removed the beam duct between the MCE chamber and the optical table. (Fig. 1)

Procedure
1: Loosen the two bottom-side screws attaching the MCE flange. (Fig. 2)
2: Loosen the eight screws connecting the beam duct and the holder. (Fig. 3)
3: Slide the beam duct from the MCE flange. (Fig. 4)
4: Remove the eight screws connecting the holder and the black optical table cover. (Fig. 4)
Finally, we can remove the beam duct. The removed screws are kept in a bag. We kept the removed beam duct and screws on a metal shelf in the MCE booth. (Fig. 5)

After this, we turned on the FFU for the optical table cover. Since we found that the FFU affected IMC LSC and the IMC lock could not remain stable, we turned off the FFU.

Comment to Implementation of IP control with FLDACCs (36757)

In the last test (klog), I tried to feed forward the low-pass-filtered ACC signals to the original ACC signals in order to compensate the cradle effects. In this time, I tried to feed forward the LVDT signals to the original ACC signals using the same offline data. Assuming that the tilt of the IP table is proportional to the deviation of the IP, the acceleration α due to the tilt φ is expressed as α = g·φ = C·δx.  Here, g is the gravity acceleration, C is the coupling efficiency, and δx is the deviation to be obtained from the LVDT signal.

The plot shows the ratio of the measured transfer functions from the actuator L to the LVDT L and the ACC L. The blue line shows the original TF ratio (C = 0 m/s^2 /m). The red line shows a smaller gain deviation (C = -0.03 m/s^2 /m).

[Kimura, Yasui, Talada (NIFS) and JECC Torisya members]
 From September 14 through September 17, we replaced the cold head on the transmission-side cryoduct shield of the EXC.
The newly installed cold head is a unit that underwent performance testing at the Kashiwa Campus.
Photos taken during the replacement are attached for reference.
 We plan to conduct performance testing on the removed cold head at the Kashiwa Campus to investigate the cause of its malfunction.
Once the cause is identified, we plan to have the cold head overhauled by the manufacturer.

Monitoring of OMMT/OSTM suspensions

I monitored the OMMT1, OMMT2, and OSTM suspensions during the evacuation of the OMMT-OMC chamber.

The OSEM positions changed by 100~400 counts. The H2 OSEM in the OMMT1 has gone out of the sensing range. The H2 magnet may be deviated in the transverse (off-axis) direction.
