    Entry number 366515

    keyword=VESDA alarm/tech

    Called in for VESDA alarm

    The highest concentration according to control box was at upper air handler and south wall and had fallen since I was called.

    Upper air hander was off so concentration there made sense.

    On entering Hall you could smell burnt electronics at the PSS key box

    On entering the Hall a haze was visible and my eyes burned after approx. 1 minute

    I failed to find a localized source for the smell.

    I checked both Fz power supplies, both septum power supplies, and the target area including power supply.

    I also checked all of the spectrometer power supplies as well as the moller power supplies

    I checked all of the equipment racks on both spectrometers and behind the green wall.

    I did not check any equipment on the beam line.

    I turned on the upper air handler to help dissipate the haze.

    When I left the Hall the alarm levels were lower than when I went in.

    I assume that a chip fired and that we will find it when we need it most.
