== P1.6 Cool down the cryostat == • **Phase** : 1 • **Status** : Draft • **Category** : Unpack, Assemble, Verification, and Installation (C1) • **Recurrence** : once • **Duration** : 1 day **Description** • Cooldown the cryostat. **Prerequisites** • SHARK-NIR connected to LBT network. • Electronics cabinets on. • Needs vacuum pumping at the beginning (vacuum pressure of 10e-5 Torr is good (see the cryostat manual SHARK-NIR_SO-MAN-001)). **Procedure** • Start the cryostat cooling down sequence (see the cryostat manual SHARK-NIR_SO-MAN-001). • Check how the system is performing every 30 minutes **Success criteria** • Cryostat cooled down without any issues. • The temperature at the detector is stable at 77K **Notes** **LBTO support** • Liquid Nitrogen refill is required in the cleanroom. * Vacuum pump and support for cooling down the cryostat. **Associated SHARK-NIR personnel** **Date performed and by whom** **Comments** LM: I do not see liquid nitrogen pumped as a prerequisite, but rather part of the procedure [DONE]
