Safety

We have looked at how to guarantee communication from the control room, specifically in the case that the phone line does not work. Various solutions were considered but the only realistic idea was to get an additional line to the Residencia to provide some redundancy. An old line which used to be in the first office in the service building has been connected to the general main wire from the service building to the telescope, also with lighting protection. The wiring has been extended to the control room and a normal telephone connected to the line.

A new heavy duty beeper has been installed outside the telescope entrance stairs warning when the telescope building is moving.
