PSS Trip Reset

Instructions on how to reset Trips of the Personnel Safety System

All beamline Personnel Safety Systems have been fully upgraded by the SI Group.  Please treat "Trips" as the former "Minor Faults," and reset the trip up to three times per shift with the PSS Minor Fault key (MIF). When there is a "Trip," either the Chain A or Chain B red LED is steady lit on the PSS panel, and when the "Trip" is reset, the red LED will be off. If a trip occurs more than three times per shift please call the on-duty Floor Coordinator.  Treat "Faults" at all beamlines as the former "Serious/Major Faults," and call the on-duty Floor Coordinator.
