* Cooler was damaged in the move. SamLR reports 'we were moving the laser through to unit 23 the cooling unit fell over. We'd balanced coolbot on top of the water box so when it went over the whole thing got wet, beyond that I have no idea what's good to go and what isn't sorry'

* To the best of my understanding, the cooler is not operating and the coolbot cannot immediately be reassembled. Note that the laser tube can be damaged by both high and low temperatures; the laser operation can quickly take the coolant above the maximum and the uncontrolled cooler can take it below the minimum. Coolbot is required to operate it safely, and even when operating correctly there is no automatic cutout so it can still be abused.--[[Special:Contributions/81.105.17.61|81.105.17.61]] 21:01, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

However, much care should also be taken if the laser is operated without cooling. It can get outside the safe limits in half an hour or so. ---[[User:Artag|Artag]] 21:04, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
