HRC Contingency Procedures

Excessive Antico Shield Rate - Antico Shields Off

Description:

This procedure turns off the anticoincidence shield PMT HV to protect them in the event of excessive rates. The procedure will send commands to turn off both PMTs; only one should be on.

Procedure Trigger:

The procedure shall be initiated by the Flight Operations Team if the antico event rate telemetry exceeds the "red" limit for more than 5 seconds in format 1 or for more than 40 seconds in any other format. The antico rate telemetry mnemonic for this rate is: Note: Telemetry mnemonic 2SHEV2RT is not included because experience gained during the ground test program showed it can occasionally indicate a red-limit condition when none exists.

This procedure shall also be executed by the Flight Operations Team at any time at the request of the Science Operations Team.
