UCSB SRT Problem summary


Summary statistics


Rods with saturated channels or high current

Note module needs to be arcs tested to find cause of saturated channel.
Date Rod number Type Position Pinhole/dead apv channel or high current Link to SRT elog Comments
28 Oct/1 Nov 05 419 SS6_H 1,2,4,5 both here dead apv ch. on sensor edges on 1,2,4. high ileak on ?,5
15 Nov 05 557 SS6_H 6 saturated channel 0 here occurred after stricter esd procedures were introduced
07 Feb 06 238 SS6_H 5 high ileak here 7uA at 450V, up from 3.5uA; ARCS confirmed today
08 Feb 06 235 SS6_H 3 high ileak here 8uA at 400V, up from 0.59uA at 400V in ARCS
20 Feb 06 309 SS6_H 5 4 saturated channels 140-143 here appeared during first (ie unbiased) pedestal run. sent to arcs...

Rods that failed Ryan's box test

This list is not up-to-date. But this info is uploaded to the db.
This includes rods that have some failures, but not enough failures to fail the rod.
Date Rod number Type Sensor Comments
03 Nov 05 322 SS6_H 3/5 rbox reading =15mV consitent with open on module at position 3 or 5
02 Feb 06 255 SS6_H 3/5 broken humidity sensor (rod is type 1 CCU)
14 Mar 06 441 SS6_L 3/5 Opens on both position one and 4. (rod is type 1 CCU)

Rods that needed reseating of connectors

Date Rod number Type Connector Comments
14 Nov 05 584 SS6_H LV hybrid tail to icc connector was pushed in but not well.
07 Feb 06 332 SS6_H icc to bus at position 2 some new ICCs at position 2 are stressed by screws; most likely connection was bad at first test, but icc was replaced, and its connection was found to be bad. need to test original icc
23 Feb 06 166 DS_? front end to icc pos 8 & 2 these connections are next to each other on the icc for ds rods

Rods that needed icc replacement

Date Rod number Type Position Comments
14 Nov 05 414 SS6_H 3/5 symptom: intermittant i2c errors 230 from during mux access and bad tt. went away with switch
21 Nov 06 55 SS6_H 4/6 symptom: aoh not seeing the ticks: here
Mar 06 ? ? ? I found a card labeled: Problem ICC from UCSB 3/06
18 Apr 06 217 SS4 2 symptom: bad results on Jim's i2c test program

Miscellaneous

Date Rod number Type Position Comments
16 Nov 05 255 SS6_H 6 high pulseheight every 8th channel on apv 4. present all along, but came from mrt. sent to arcs...
1st week Nov 05 452 SS6_H 6 high ileak at pos6 due to short module hv trace -> cf ccum back-plate -> ground (or something like that)
07 Feb 06 20 SS6_H 6 wings noise position 6 caused by lack of shielding on ccum
17 Feb 06 375 SS6_H 6 Positions 4 and 6 have weird "reflections" in Time Tune. elog. ICC card was switched, as were the modules. Problem didn't go away, so rod will be depopulated and sent to CERN
17 Feb 06 366 SS6_H 6 Module 6680 caused the HV channel to trip at very low voltage. This module was on another rod (253?) and caused the same behavior. We found that there was about 2 Megaohm resistance between the HV tail and ground (this should be an open on a normal module). Will send this module to Tony.
29 Mar 06 ? SS6 ? wild ileak, similar to the next entry. Module was replaced and problem went away. The problem module tested fine in ARCS. Vienna box test is pending.
29 Mar 06 463 SS6 2 this module has wild ileak, and overcurrents at 400V. I switched the modules at position 4&2, and the problem went away. Needs more investigation
