Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Right-o.
04 03 57 33
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston.
04 03 57 49
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston.
04 03 57 54
Jim Lovell (CDR): Go ahead, Houston.
04 03 57 56
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Jim, on the battery problem, we have determined that it is not overcurrent or reverse current. We suspect it's over-temp, but don't know for sure, so we're going to watch it for awhile.
04 03 58 12
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay.
04 04 00 20
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston.
04 04 00 25
Jim Lovell (CDR): Go ahead, Houston.
04 04 00 27
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Jim, Charlie has some procedures to read up for you here; I think you'll need your activation checklist, if it's handy.
04 04 00 38
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Aquarius, that's the contingency checklist.
04 04 00 40
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. I'll just—Okay. Stand by, Charlie.
04 04 01 12
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay, Charlie. I've got the contingency checklist, and standing by.
04 04 01 16
Charlie Duke: Okay, Jim. We'd like you to turn to page—page 24, which is the “30-Minute Activation,” and this is going to be a procedure for the mid-course burn that we got coming up at 105 with the AGS up. Over.
04 04 01 36
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger. On the midcourse at 105, and I'm on page 24.
04 04 01 41
Charlie Duke: Okay; “30-Minute Activation,” omit steps 1, 2, and 3; perform step 4, “RCS system A/B-2.” Over.
04 04 01 58
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger. Omit steps 1, 2, and 3; perform step 4.
04 04 02 03
Charlie Duke: Roger. And on the “EPS Activation,” same page, perform step 1; and in step 2, perform line number—line number 6, “EPS DISPLAY-CLOSE.” Over.
04 04 02 28
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. On “EPS Activation,” perform step 1, and perform step 2, line 6 only; is that correct?
04 04 02 37
Charlie Duke: That's affirmative, Jim. The rest of the stuff is already closed at this time, so that's all we'll have to do is close the EPS DISPLAY breaker.
04 04 02 57
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay.
04 04 02 58
Charlie Duke: All right. Turn to page 25. On page 25, omit step 3; perform step 4. On step 4, last line, scratch “CB(16) EPS: INVERTER 2, closed.” Over.
04 04 03 25
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger. Omit step 3; perform step 4, except for the last line. Circuit breaker 16, EPS INVERTER 2, closed.
04 04 03 34
Charlie Duke: Roger. That's correct. On step 5, perform step 5. Under “Primary Glycol Loop Activation,” step 1, line 1, “CB(16) ECS: DISPLAY—CLOSE.” That's a crew option; you can have it if you want to. Omit the rest of step 1 and step 2. Perform step 3. Over.

04 04 04 11
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. On primary glycol loop activation, crew option on step 1, first line; the rest of it we'll omit. Step 2, we'll omit, and we'll do step 3.
04 04 04 27
Charlie Duke: That's affirmative, Jim, with the following DELTAs on step 3, and if you'll turn to page 26, I'll give you the DELTAs on the activation circuit breaker list. Over.
04 04 04 43
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. I'm there.
04 04 04 45
Charlie Duke: Roger. On line 1, correction, row 1, under AC BUS A: TAPE RECORDER should be open; DECA GIMBAL, open. All the other ones as shown on the page. Over.
04 04 05 12
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. On row 1, AC BUS A: TAPE RECORDER and DECA GIMBAL will be open. All the rest as shown.
04 04 05 20
Charlie Duke: Roger. And we don't know the status of your windows. If you—During this burn, we're going to have to look out the forward window to get the alinement with the COAS, so you might need the commander window heater and you can, of course, use that breaker if needed, since we do have the AC power. On row 2—Go ahead. Over.
04 04 05 46
Jim Lovell (CDR): I don't think we'll need it, Charlie.
04 04 05 47
Charlie Duke: Okay; fine, Jim. On row 2, under RCS SYSTEM A: ASCENT FEED 2 and ASCENT FEED 1 should be open. Under FLIGHT DISPLAYS: MISSION TIMER should be open; GASTA, open; ORDEAL, open. Under AC BUS A: GASTA, open. The rest are as shown on the page. Over.
04 04 06 28
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. On row 2, we're going to open up ASCENT FEED 2 and ASCENT FEED 1 under RCS SYSTEM A. We're going to open up the MISSION TIMER, and FLIGHT DISPLAYS: the GASTA and the ORDEAL; and the AC BUS A: the GASTA.
04 04 06 46
Charlie Duke: That's affirmative. Okay. Row 3, under PROPELLANT: DESCENT HELIUM REG/VENT should be open. Under HEATERS: RENDEZVOUS RADAR STANDBY, open; LANDING RADAR, open. Under STAB/CONTROL: ATCA (PGNS), open. Under ED and LIGHTING: all four open. Over.

04 04 07 35
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. Row 3, under PROPELLANT—propulsion: the DESCENT HELIUM REG/VENT will be open: the STANDBY RENDEZVOUS HEATER will be open and the LANDING RADAR HEATER circuit breaker will be open. I just changed antennas; and, keeping on down the line, ATCA PGNS will be open and the last four circuit breakers, two under ED and two under LIGHTING, will be open.
04 04 08 07
Charlie Duke: That's affirmative. Okay. Under row 4, under ECS: GLYCOL PUMP AUTO TRANSFER, close. Under COMM: UP DATA LINK, open; VHF B and VHF A should be open. Under PGNS: LGC/DSKY, open; IMU OPERATE, open. Over.

04 04 09 20
Jim Lovell (CDR): Say that again, Charlie.
04 04 09 22
Charlie Duke: Okay. Under the last row, under EPS is the only DELTA and that is under the CROSS TIE BUS. It should go open. Over.
04 04 09 34
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger. The CROSS TIE BUS should go open.
04 04 09 38
Charlie Duke: That's affirm. Going on to page 27, Activation, panel 16. Under RCS SYSTEM Bravo: ASCENT FEED 1, ASCENT FEED 2 should be open. Under PROPULSION: PQGS should be open; ASCENT HELIUM REG, open. Over.
04 04 10 12
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. Line 1, on panel 16, ASCENT FEEDs 1 and 2 will be open. And the PQGS will be open, and the ASCENT HELIUM REG will be open.
04 04 10 24
Charlie Duke: That's affirmative. On the next three rows, we only get the nine DELTAs, so I'll go through the next three rows completely and then you can read those back. Under LIGHTING —
04 04 10 36
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay.
04 04 10 37
Charlie Duke: Under LIGHTING; FLOOD, open; TRACK, open. Under ED LOGIC—Correction, under ED: LOGIC, open. Under STAB/CONTROL: DESCENT ENGINE OVERRIDE, open. Under ECS: SUIT FLOW CONTROL, open. Under row 3, COMM: DISPLAY, open; VHF A TRANSMITTER, open; VHF B RECEIVER, open. Under ECS: DISPLAY, that's crew option. Last row, under EPS: INVERTER 2, open. Over.
04 04 11 45
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. On the last three rows, we have FLOOD and TRACK circuit breakers, row 2, open; LOGIC POWER B, open; DESCENT ENGINE OVERRIDE, open; SUIT FLOW CONTROL, open. On the third row—row, DISPLAY, open; VHF A and—VHF—VHF A TRANSMITTER, open; VHF B RECEIVER, open. And under ECS: we have DISPLAY, open, at crew option. And the last one, INVERTER 2 under EPS, will be open.
04 04 12 23
Charlie Duke: Roger. That's a good readback. Under that ECS DISPLAY, it shows it closed. If, with it closed, you can have some readout of—onboard readout of your ECS system—draws a lot less than a half amp so it's up to you whether you want it or not. Okay, on page 28.
04 04 12 42
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger.
04 04 12 44
Charlie Duke: On page 28, step—perform step 4 with the following changes in the warning light status. Under the warning lights, you will probably—you will have ASCENT PRESSURE and an LGC light. Scratch “RCS A and RCS B REG.” Under caution lights, you'll have a PRE AMPS light. Over.
04 04 13 20
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger. Under warning, we'll have ASCENT PRESSURE and LGC; and under caution, we'll have a PRE AMP.
