1 What is the proximity equipment?
1. Connection box which routes the current lead temperature sensors and
V-taps used for circuit protection
2. Drawing of the PE High current module

During ELQA tests of RB circuits, lot of HV breakdowns were observed!
The breakdown usually damaged the cryo conditioner card reading the temperature sensor.
TE/CRG claimed that the defect was mostly coming from the C50 connector which is not appropriate for HV
As a common agreement, it was decided to upgrade this C50 connector with a proper HV connector
Together with TE/CRG, it was decided to replace the Cannon C50 connector by the REDEL SLGH51 (Lemo)
connector
After LS1, TE/CRG will consolidate their conditioner card, and the RB circuit will be tested at 2.1kV

3 Do we upgrade it in the tunnel?• During a dedicated meeting among our section, we discussed
the possibility of upgrading the PE in the tunnel or in the Lab:
Advantages Disadvantages
1. Only one cable disconnection is needed (C50-1)
2. No need to dismount the box from the Frame
3. No risk of damaging the fragile cable segment
1. Poor illumination
2. Very bad access to the PE
3. Dust, noise…
4. More human resources needed

5 Number of Cannon C-50 connectors to be modified
16 connectors will be exchanged, all of them have been already delivered.
While mounting on the Proximity Equipment , a small metal plate, attached to
the REDEL connector, will compensate the difference in size of the previous
connector.

6 Validation, Continuity and HV test bench
A dedicated test procedure was written
After each test, a report is done and stored for future reference in ELQA dedicated folder in DFS

Up to date, three crates are fully upgraded and successfully tested.
There are 13 more crates that need to be upgraded
The estimated date for the completion of the project is February 2014
We do not foresee any delays
