   * When taking the Linac RSS out of Beam Permit, it is good practice to block beam upstream of the E-Bends and then turn off their power supplies before turning the key in the PPS rack.   * When taking the Linac RSS out of Beam Permit, it is good practice to block beam upstream of the E-Bends and then turn off their power supplies before turning the key in the PPS rack.

The most common page used by operators to turn the E-Bends on and off is the '[[pages:mps_op|MPS Operator]]' page. Other pages are given under the Devices/PV's section of this page.
   * When trying to turn the E-Bend power supplies back on after a period of not being in Beam Permit, wait ~10-15 seconds after the Beam Permit LED on the PPS rack has turned solid red before attempting to do so. This will give the PVs time to reconnect to CS Studio and thus be able to receive commands from CS Studio pages.   * When trying to turn the E-Bend power supplies back on after a period of not being in Beam Permit, wait ~10-15 seconds after the Beam Permit LED on the PPS rack has turned solid red before attempting to do so.

-  * At present (August 27, 2025), three of the E-Bend power supplies ramp to their set points relatively quickly and with their readbacks ending up within a few hundred millivolts of their setpoints. The first supply, however, ramps more slowly than the others and usually the readback shows a difference of about two volts from the setpoint. The LED for this supply will still show that it is ramping even though the supply is done ramping. This small difference shouldn't alter the beam in any meaningful way. +  * At present (August 27, 2025), three of the E-Bend power supplies ramp to their set points relatively quickly and with their readbacks ending up within a few hundred millivolts of their setpoints.
