Simonyi LOTO Procedure#

AuxTel must be under LOTO (lock-out tag-out) any time physical work is undertaken on the mount or the dome. When working with environmental sensors, on the truss, mirrors, or anywhere in the dome where unexpected movement could cause a safety hazard, the telescope must be locked out. Trained summit support staff may use this procedure if they meet all of the preconiditon requirements.

Precondition#
