Okay. I've got up through step 7 now, and I'm not getting much of a light in the helium indicator here. Why don't I review for you how we've proceeded, and you look at the procedure you gave me, and see if we've missed anything.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Okay. We transferred to LM power and that looked okay. I'm staring at a CAUTION AND WARNING POWER light, and all the red flags; and we got both X LUNAR BUS TIE breakers IN. The UTILITY LIGHTING breaker is IN; then AC BUS B HELIUM PQS DISPLAY; the AC BUS B NUMERIC LIGHTING, and AC BUS B INVERTER 1 is—BUS TIE is CLOSED. Then I closed the INVERTER 1 breaker, and I've selected, on panel 16, and the SIGNAL CONSENSOR [sic] breaker is in; I've selected INVERTER 1 and put the HELIUM MONITOR switch to SUPERCRIT and I have no lights.

Okay, Fred, let us take a look at it.

I was wondering, do we need an A—do we need, possibly, in the—one of the ANUN/DOCK/COMPONENT breakers in?
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Okay, Jack. Hold the phone. I forgot the rheostat was cranked all the way down on the ANUN/NUM and it's showing 720, which looks like a pretty good—pretty good number.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Flashed to 7—Okay, and it just flickered down to 710. It's kind of flickering between 710 and 720.
- Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Fred. Those are good numbers, and we're not going to have to crank up the TM. That's the number we were looking for.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Very good. Okay. Do you want me to back out of this in reverse at least as far as getting this part of it powered down?
- Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
As you were on that, Jim. We don't have you on high gain yet. We're still looking at you.
- Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
13, Houston. In this attitude, we'd suggest pitch 5, yaw 237 on the high gain. Over.
- Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Affirmative, Jack. We've got you on a high gain and it appears to us that we're in wide beam—wide beam width.
- Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Yes. We can't get it to come down to narrow. We tried to switch to AUTO track or REACQ, and it—yaw drives around from 270 to 0. And pitch goes from about 6 degrees around to 90. I'm trying—we're fitting it manual now at the angles that you gave us, and I'll try and get you in medium and narrow beam widths picking it up manually here.
- Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Jack, what it looks like is that, when we hit 239 degrees at this attitude, it hit some sort of scan limit or something and drops off.
- Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Jack, we'd like you to check two high gain circuit breakers down in panel 25. Check your high gain group 2 and your high gain in the flight bus. Over.
- Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
13, we've got an attitude suggestion for you. We suggest that you go to roll 285 and try pitch 90 and yaw 0. Over.
- Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay, Houston; Apollo 13. I think we've got high gain locked up now. Do you confirm?
- Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
We confirm that, Jim, we've got you locked up on the high gain and narrow beam.
