  1. Installation Procedure of equipment at JLAB: ***DRAFT*** JLAB people would like to see this as soon as possible. Eric needs to add weight estimates to lifts (as soon as he can... cloning may be the answer.)
    1. HBS moves crates into Hall B.
    2. Uncrate BCAL module, cart, carriage, LG boxes and pivot leg.
    3. HBS lifts PMT boxes, Light Guide boxes and pivot leg onto platform and stash in back of alcove.
    4. HBS lifts cart onto platform and prepare to receive carriage assembly.
    5. HBS assists in building carriage assembly. First a layer of cloth or black plastic is laid down on the carriage. Then the BCAL module is placed on the plastic and secured with the 8 locking clamps. Then the Light Guide boxes are bolted onto either end, but not compressed against the module. (Need: 3/4 box end wrench (2 or more), 3/4" Socket with drive, 7/16 box end wrench, 7/16 socket with drive, 3/16 Allen wrench)
    6. HBS lifts Carriage assembly onto platform and sets onto the cart and secures. This lifting procedure will use straps attached to the carriage.
    7. Cart is rolled into platform position.
    8. Holes are drilled into the deck plate to bolt cart down (Or a flange needs to be welded, according to Doug T. the steel they are using is from a submarine and has to be preheated cherry red to drill or weld to.) to prevent it from spinning. (Need: 1/2" transfer punch, hammer, Mag-Based Drill, 1/2" center drill, 27/64 DRILL, cutting oil, 1/2-13 tap, tap handle, broom and dustpan: we may also need in the alcove a hammer drill, 1/2" concrete anchors, anchor set tool, and a clearance drill bit for the anchor) We will have the platform position and the alcove position. We will align the cart to the beam by dropping a plumb bob to the pre-marked deck. This only needs to happen the the "alcove" position.
    9. Silgard sheets are installed on the end of the module and light guide boxes are pressed up against the ends. We may have to shine a light down the steel tubes at one end to check the seal at the other end.
    10. Silgard cookies are placed on the ends of the PMT - base assemblies, cables are attached. The foam spring is installed and the assembly is slid into the steel tube with the cables being routed through the 3-point locker mechanism.
    11. Safety AC crash switches are installed at points of access to disable drive system (there are two).
    12. Signal cables are routed along carriage so that they come off behind the pivot point. (need cable ties)
    13. Module is checked for light-tight status (Need: flashlight or drop light)
    14. Horizontal line laser mounted on wall needs to be installed and surveyed in to beam height. Laser needs to be visible in all run positions of the module or on some common location on module. There is some concern that the shimming floor will not be flat and the floor may move when the BCAL and cart are put on it. The laser is an independent indicator of elevation. (NOTE: IU is purchasing this from a local store and sending the wavelength to Doug T. to verify that we do not need any additional safety stuff to run it.)
    15. Various positions along the module in relation to the beam are checked and aligned (Need: plumb bob, chalk line, tape measure)
    16. The motion control computer is brought up and the drive system is checked out in the alcove position.
