- Change the Separator Return flow from 8 to 12 SLM, using "THCD_401_Main.vi".
- Wait for 5 minutes.
- This step is to accumulate LHe in the separator.
- Fill the nose with LHe manually. Can skip this step if the nose LHe level is already high, >70%.
- Set the turn of the bypass valve to "1.0", by entering the value to the "Set Turns" box (or clicking the up arrow of the box multiple times).
- Confirm that the Main Return flow increases on the right-side strip chart in this page; https://e906-gat1.fnal.gov/data-summary/e1039/target-par-preset/return_flow.php
- Increase the turn step-by-step (wait for 20 seconds per +0.1 turns), until the Main Return flow reaches about 50-80 SLM. Usually the turn should be 1.4-1.8.
- Wait until the nose LHe level becomes 80%. A higher level (80-100%) is acceptable, but never keep filling above 100%.
- If the level does not start going up in 5 minutes; close the valve, wait for 10 minutes, and try again.
- Close the bypass valve, by setting the turn to "0".
- Confirm that the Main Return flow is ~5 SLM or less, and the nose LHe level is going down slowly.
- Enable the automated control of the bypass valve.
- Confirm that the "Set Point of He Level" is 75%.
- Click the toggle switch labelled "Automated Bypass-Valve Control".
- Enable the SMS (Discord) alarm, by clicking the toggle switch labelled "SMS".
- Report on Discord that the automated control has started. Kenichi has to check the behavior at the beginning.
