 +===== Pumping Intermediate-image chamber =====
 +Requirements: PanelMate files **S3_Gas_Handling** and **S800Vac**
 +  * Verify that Chamber is closed and pressure-relief valve (north side of the chamber) is properly closed (NOTE: sometimes, due to overpressure from dry N2 during the venting procedure, the O-ring in pressure-relief valve flange is moved out of place)
 +  * Verify that PPACs are not biased by opening the [[HV bias|HV GUI]]
 +  * IMPORTANT: Close manual roughing pump valve (close to the Intermediate-image chamber) {{:wiki:manualvalverough.jpg?500|Manual valve rough pump}}. 
 +
 +  * Insert PPACs/turn on light (Diagnostic Drives PanelMate) and verify condition through sight window on south side of the chamber (be careful no to bump the bullet camera).
 +  * Open **S800Vac** and go to page 03 ("Intermediate image box vacuum system sec 15")
 +  * Check "PUMPDOWN STATUS INTERMEDIATE IMAGE BOX"; it should read "PUMPDOWN STOPPED". Select that box and click on "START PUMPDOWN". Nothing will happen because the manual roughing pump valve is closed.
 +  * Slowly crack manual roughing valve
 +        * Start slow (< 1 Torr/sec). Pressure is displayed in the digital display of the Granville-Phillips 275 Mini-Convectron gauge, sitting on top of the chamber (or in **I215PG** in **S800Vac** PanelMate) 
 +        * Verify PPACs changing shape through sighting window
 +        * When PPACs equalize, increase to 5 Torr/sec
 +  * Once roughing valve is fully open, retract PPACs and turn lights off.
 +  * When the pressure in **I215PG** is below 200 mTorr, the Turbo Pump will start automatically through the following sequence:
 +        * **I214RV** will be closed
 +        * **I214FV** will be opened
 +        * **I214GV** will be opened
 +  * When the pressure ready by **I215PG** is few mTorr, you can turn on the ion gauge **I213IG**. Good vacuum will take ~1-2 hours.
 +  * NOTE: WHAT TO DO IF PUMPDOWN TIMER EXPIRES BEFORE TURBO PUMP IS ON
 +  * At the end of the procedure, close the manual roughing pump valve
