FLDACC installation

[Takahashi, Hirata, Washimi]

We installed the FLDACCs in the pre-isolator.

  1. Set the attachment plates on the top table. Location is shown in Picture 1.
  2. Moved the assembled FLDACC units to the upper floor one by one (Picture 2), and removed the lower stopper, then put the unit on the attachment plate.
  3. Attached the counterweights to the proof mass along with the tuning results. Removed the protection covers temporarily during this work.
  4. Adjusted the tilt of the units (Picture 3).
  5. Removed three ballast rings of 8.3kg (Picture 4) and added one small ballast ring of 1.0kg to compensate for the additional weight of three units of 8.0kg.
  6. Installed the in-vacuum cables (Pictures 5 and 6). The Kapton cables from the units were connected to the PTFE cables from the feedthrough flange on the table. 
  7. Connected the outer cables to the feedthrough flange with the flip cables (Picture 7). New flip cables were out of stock, so we used the old type cables.
  8. Checked the resistance of the coils in the FLDACC at the feedthrough flanges. Initially, the H3 1-6pin was disconnected due to a loose contact at the relay point. 
      H1 [Ω] H2 [Ω] H3[Ω]
    1-6 47.3 47.2 53.0
    2-7 55.2 55.2 62.5
    3-8 5.5 5.1 4.9
  9. Checked the signals on the daiaggui. Measured the transfer functions (Picture 8).

I measured the spectra of the FLDACCs in displacement (um) compared with the ACCs (L-4C). Plot 1 shows the spectra in READY mode; the IP was free. Plot 2 shows the spectra in ISOLATED mode; the IP was controlled by the LVDTs. The noise level of the ACC1 is larger than that of the other ACCs.
