URD reviews

The URD has been reviewed by the Fire Brigade and GLIMOS. The Fire Brigade basically agreed on it, no major modifications are requested. However, the GLIMOS made some important remarks. Apart from the CERN sites, the CSAM system should protect the experiments and LHC machine, but this is not clearly specified in the URD. This concerns the general description and the specific requirements of the URD. Furthermore, there is no clear relation between the general description part of the document and the specific requirements.
A new meeting with the GLIMOS will be necessary to go into details on the specific requirements.

Action items:
- Collect all available information about the experiments and LHC machine concerning the interface with the CSAM system
- Add the technical specifications for the CDIN and CGAZ as reference documents in the URD
- Define what exactly a safety action is. Is it the same action that the ones  performed by operators ? 

Market Survey review

No comments where made about the Market Survey documents. In fact almost nobody had the time to read them before the meeting.

Action items:
- For the next CSAM meeting, the 20th October 1999, send the comments to L. Scibile, in order to correct and discuss them. 

Prototype Report

Carlos and Silvia, they are preparing a short report about the prototype, in order to get an overview of the evolution of the prototype. The idea is to have a short report periodically to present the status of the prototype design, the problem we found, possible solutions and decisions made. Furthermore, this will be a very useful mean of increasing the communication with the group. Even if somebody cannot come to the meeting we will be able to get the feedback and comments from him.

No changes on the prototype installation.

Action items:
- First prototype report by the next week
- Start opening material boxes and reading manuals
- Activity charts for the prototype milestones need to be defined 

Detection interface

The fact of having one or two PLC to interface with a central detection gas or fire, can have big consequences on the implementation of the CSAM system.

Action item:
- A short presentation to understand the actual situation with the interface to the CDIN and CGAZ would be required
- The Technical Specifications for the CDIN and CGAZ should be available from the CSAM Web page.
- We should start collecting information about the detection interface, regarding the LHC-machine, experiments and sites.... The following kind of table would be very useful:
Safety zone/Detection equipment/Equipment responsable/Interface type/Number equipment/Number of detectors 

A.O.B

- Next meetings will start punctually and they will last about 45 min.
