Problems:
Interlock broken at 22:29 CLT. A temperature sensor jumped from -200 to 800 and then back to -200 C, changing the average T value, triggering a safeguard. The temperature measurements were fals, it was a false alarm according to Marco Bonati. We were back at 10:52 CLT.
From Marco Bonati:
All is OK. This is a false alarm caused by a defective RTD that generate spureous readings. This RTD ws taken out f the PID loop long ago, meaning that the misreading does not generate a real change in temperature by the PID. However, it is still used to get the average temperature, and this is why the alarm and interlocks are generated. Note that fixing this is one of the things in the list to fix for the upcoming warmup.
