| 20 | 5 | Jeremy Wright | |
| 21 | 5 | Jeremy Wright | * Place concrete block in location where test stand will be operated |
| 22 | 5 | Jeremy Wright | * Set test stand on concrete block |
| 23 | 5 | Jeremy Wright | * Create the safety perimeter. |
| 24 | 5 | Jeremy Wright | ** Delineate no stand zone for both proximity and positions |
| 25 | 5 | Jeremy Wright | *** Use length of cord for the igniter (radius of operations) |
| 26 | 5 | Jeremy Wright | *** Exclusion zones exist behind where exhaust escapes (30 degree cone), and in front on each side of the exhaust T (30 degree cone on each side) |
| 27 | 6 | Jeremy Wright | * Set up the management area for test. |
| 28 | 6 | Jeremy Wright | ** Igniter |
| 29 | 6 | Jeremy Wright | *** Clip the igniter to a part of the test stand and deploy the cable to its full length and place it where the test(s) will be run from |
| 30 | 6 | Jeremy Wright | ** Computer |
| 31 | 6 | Jeremy Wright | *** Set up computer |
| 32 | 6 | Jeremy Wright | *** Boot computer |
| 33 | 6 | Jeremy Wright | *** Run USB cable from computer to test stand |
| 34 | 6 | Jeremy Wright | *** Connect Arduino-based DAQ system to USB cable at test stand |
| 35 | 1 | Jeremy Wright | *** Start the Test Stand App |
| 36 | 6 | Jeremy Wright | *** Ensure DAQ system and Computer are both running and connected |
| 37 | 6 | Jeremy Wright | |
| 38 | 8 | Jeremy Wright | h3. Prepare For Test |
| 39 | 6 | Jeremy Wright | |
| 40 | 6 | Jeremy Wright | * Test sensors |
| 41 | 6 | Jeremy Wright | ** Push on thrust sensor and confirm current value slider responds |
| 42 | 6 | Jeremy Wright | ** Put fingers around thermocouple(s) (after ensuring it is not hot) and confirm plot responds |
| 43 | 7 | Jeremy Wright | * Install motor in test stand |
| 44 | 7 | Jeremy Wright | ** A-C Motors |
| 45 | 7 | Jeremy Wright | *** Attach thermocouple(s) |
| 46 | 7 | Jeremy Wright | *** Insert igniter into motor and cap with igniter plug, making sure to space leads |
| 47 | 7 | Jeremy Wright | *** Install the motor in an adapter |
| 48 | 7 | Jeremy Wright | *** Insert D spacer ring into the motor mount |
| 49 | 7 | Jeremy Wright | *** Insert the motor assembly into the motor mount so a notch from the adapter lines up with the clip on the motor mount so it clicks into place |
| 50 | 7 | Jeremy Wright | ** D Motors |
| 51 | 7 | Jeremy Wright | *** Attach thermocouple(s) |
| 52 | 7 | Jeremy Wright | *** Insert igniter into motor and cap with igniter plug, making sure to space leads |
| 53 | 7 | Jeremy Wright | *** Insert D spacer ring into the motor mount |
| 54 | 7 | Jeremy Wright | *** Insert the motor into the motor mount, pushing it all the way into the the motor mount, note the clip should close |
| 55 | 7 | Jeremy Wright | ** E Motors |
| 56 | 7 | Jeremy Wright | *** Attach thermocouple(s) |
| 57 | 7 | Jeremy Wright | *** Insert igniter into motor and cap with igniter plug, making sure to space leads |
| 58 | 7 | Jeremy Wright | *** Insert the motor into the motor mount, pushing it all the way into the the motor mount, note the clip should close |
| 59 | 7 | Jeremy Wright | * Double check that the range is actually clear |
| 60 | 7 | Jeremy Wright | * Set up igniter |
| 61 | 7 | Jeremy Wright | ** Make sure the firing pin is not in place |
| 62 | 7 | Jeremy Wright | ** Connect alligator clips from Launch Controller to the igniter (one to each lead) |
| 63 | 7 | Jeremy Wright | *** At this point the range is hot (ready to fire) |
