The main chamber ramped to 150C starting at 5 am, Riad lowered all variacs to half their prior value.
Today about 1 PM: Chamber at 150, NEG coated tube at 275

Start activation.
Increase current on UHV1400 zao modules in chamber slowly, over 70 minutes, to 3.4A. 3.4A + the 150 temperature should achieve full activation.

Did not need to open the valve to the turbopump cart to pump the gas from the activation - the overboard ion pump did not exceed 25 uA with this slow ramp and hour long soak.

Energized gun ion pump on a local supply just before turning off negs.

COMMENT ON Replace gun HV electrode

Log Number: 4549043Logbook(s): Body: 

Came in ~3pm to check on bake. Bake oven values look good. Noticed the TC's tied to the "overboard" IP were ~30C, investigated and found "overboard" variac IP off, turned on and set to 85/140. Monitored for ~15 min, fuse faulted again. I added a second supplemental variac called "overboard #2" and to the local spreadsheet. This worked. Now, "overboard" is heating the overboard IP/line and "overboard #2" is heating the turbo line and Kr plumbing. Overboard set to 90/140 ~ 65% and Overboard #2 to 65%.
