 +  * In Data-U6 
 +      * Ensure I265GV is closed to isolate focal plane vacuum chamber from the rest of the beamline 
 +      * Confirm that the focal plane chamber is under vacuum 
 +      * Confirm that the only open gas handling system valves are 4, 5, 6, 20, 21, and 22 
 + 
 +  * In the S3 vault 
 +      * Ensure that the gas handling system roughing pump is running and has a good vacuum 
 +           * The pump sits on the floor under the focal plane behind the south support post  
 +           * The display unit for the pressure at the pump has a needle indicator and is mounted under the focal plane on the south support post  
 +      * Ensure that the main valves on the gas bottles are open 
 +      * Ensure that the gas bottles are not empty 
 +           * The gas regulators are not normally adjusted.  They should all be set to provide a pressure around 20 psi. 
 +           * The bottle supplying the P-10 gas for the ion chamber is secured to the cross-brace of the south support for the focal plane chamber.  It has an electronic Ashcroft pressure gauge upstream of the regulator (toggle on and off with the “on/off” switch) and a mechanical pressure gauge downstream of the regulator.  
 +           * The bottle supplying CF4 (tetrafluoromethane) gas for the CRDCs is secured to the cross-brace of the south support for the focal plane chamber.  It has an electronic Ashcroft pressure gauge upstream of the regulator (toggle on and off with the “on/off” switch) and a mechanical pressure gauge downstream of the regulator.  
 +           * The bottle supplying isobutane (C4H10) for the CRDCs is secured to the south support post for the focal plane chamber.  It sits on a scale for monitoring the isobutane consumption – the electronic display for the scale sits on the chiller unit under the focal plane chamber.  It has a mechanical pressure gauge downstream of the regulator.
