   - As the vessels approach their setpoints the Control Valves should begin to increase from their BASE values in order to equalize the pressure around the setpoint. Note that the CRDC pressure will change much faster than the IC pressure and has a much smaller tolerance. If PT2 reaches **45 Torr** the system will immediately enter “EMPTY” mode to prevent the foil disc from bursting.

   - If PT2 reaches **44 Torr** and the control valve is not open enough to start decreasing the pressure, immediately set MFC2 to 0 sccm and allow the valve to begin decreasing the pressure before resetting MFC2 back to 8 sccm. Notify Brandon Ewert (ewert@frib.msu.edu).

   - The control valve for the IC vessel is set to react slowly as the vessel has a long pressure period. The valve will not “wake up” until 300 Torr is reached on PT1. This is okay as long as the control valve begins to open by this point. The pressure change is slow enough that over the next hour the valve will open enough to catch the pressure before it exceeds 305 Torr, well within the operating limit (500 Torr).    - The control valve for the IC vessel is set to react slowly as the vessel has a long pressure period.
