Abstract:
The scope of this document is to summarize the general steps associated with entering HAM and BSC chambers, cleaning in-chamber items (as required) and then exiting the chambers. In general, these steps should be followed for all incursions subsequent to initial installation e.g. commissioning, final alignment or venting for scheduled maintenance. All top level installation procedures are grouped at LIGO-E1200023: aLIGO Chamber (Top Level) Installation Procedures. For latest information on optic cleaning refer to the following COC DCN, E1300142. The marked up version of the main document or the check-list should be posted to the DCC as part of a chamber vent. For checklist go to page 4 of main pdf and print as required.
