| 1530 | Cleaned LN2 cold traps |
| 1725 | IVC pressure 1.6E-5 mbar. Isolate turbo pump and open valve to leak checker. Background helium leak rate 4.1E-9 mbar l/s. Commence nitrogen blow-out. |
| 1825 | Nitrogen blow out complete. Helium leak rate rose gradually to 7.6E-9 mbar l/s: no gross leak. |
| 1930 | Conduct electrical check at 77 K: no problems witnessed. |
| 1955 | Evacuate main bath. Background helium leak rate 1.3E-8 mbar l/s. Overpressurise main bath with He-4 gas. Helium leak rate unchanged: no gross leak confirmed. |
| 2030 | Fill IVC with 0.16 mbar He-4 exchange gas. Commence first helium transfer. |
