| 1251 | Fill LN2 cold trap bath from 5L dewar. |
| 1256 | MC(Cernox)/Sorb/1K Pot = 4.75/–/–, G1/G2 = 455/445 mbar, MB = 71.7% |
| 1257 | Turbo on IVC = 86 nbar. With Turbo valve out for 1 minute IVC = 100 nbar |
| 1400 | Close IVC valves on top of the fridge |
| – | P2 is up again after Himangshu pumped out the 1kpot on saturday, need to swap back to the scroll pump and redo it |
| 1300 | Pump out line leading to 1K Pot with scroll pump (V4a open, V1a closed, 1kpot speedivalve closed). Then switch the line over to the 4He pump. Turn on 4He pump and make sure the pump exhaust is connected to recovery and open valve to recovery lines. |
| 1425 | Check pressure in 1K Pot by opening the 1kpot speedivalve with V4a closed: Mechanical gauge = 200 mbar on G3. |
| 1425 | Pump out 1K Pot by slowly opening V4a then the manual valve at the 4He pump until it just starts to make noise, once it quiets down somewhat open it up a little more. continue this until the valve is fully open. |
| | Leaving mixture in the fridge when starting 1K pot. P2 = 1 mbar |
| 1315 | Open 1K Pot needle valve → 15° (half the unit on the needle marks). 1K Pot → – K / 10 mbar. |
| | Temp dropping slightly, MC(cernox) = 4.7 K |
| 1430 | Open 1K Pot needle valve → 30° () 1 unit mark). 1K Pot → – K / 50 mbar. |
