Instruction to load the Ion coast cycle

To load pulse stop on the Main power supply with the sequencer.

Load with the sequence manager the sequence.

Name	MD1-IONS 0/2/3 (Coastable 120 GeV)

Description MD_ION_4Inj_FT2000_120_2009_V1

To load pulse Start on the Main power supply with the sequencer.

change the accelerator mode:

FTARGET => NO EXTRACTION

CNGS => NO EXTRACTION

LHC-B1 => NO EXTRACTION

LHC-B2 => NO EXTRACTION

Set all equipment following “SIS request”

Set Bumpers , Girders and Kickers for no extration ;

Don’t set OFF on SPS Septa control set only the high voltage to 0V

Ask TI OP t o switch off the water cooling for septa in BA2, BA4, BA6.

( To check if the fast valves fixed open in BA1 BA2 BA4 BA6)

Mask in SIS these items.

MKD EARLY ENABLED

MKD EARLY LHC VETO

POWER CONVERTERS TT10 ( if you want to stop TT10 some power converters when you are in Caost )

BLRING DUMP CHANNEL VETO

UA9 LSS5

Before using the collimators mask input 8 on the BIC BA5 and also mask in SIS the survey of the mask status;

To put ON 4 Generator the MKP with the timing user MD1 and COASTPR2 and with the same settings.
