12. '''End of run''': copy data; report [https://faultreports.saao.ac.za/ faults]; complete [ http://www.saao.ac.za/science/observing/feedback/ feedback form], put Sutherland Observing Record in tray in warm room; for SpUpNIC or GIRAFFE, tear out 1st and 2nd copy of each completed page in triplicate log book -- keep 1st copy and put 2nd copy in end of run tray.
===Instrument Focus settings===
Approximate focus values for each of the instruments are listed here. Make further adjustments on target.
GIRAFFE: ~2090
SpUpNIC: ~2200
STE3/4: ~2090 (~ 2120 with focal reducer)
=== Light switches ===
As you enter the 1.9m building, on the wall to your right are four switches. The two close together (labelled "Light Switch Main L.T. board" and "Light Switch D.B.5") should be switched on -- these give you mains power (switching them off kills the lights, but not the power to certain vital components such as PCs). The other two switches give you incandescent and fluorescent lights in the entrance area and should be switched off if you are going to observe/take flats/do focus tests with the spectrograph.
There is a light switch at the bottom and also at the top of the steps -- again, you need the stairwell lights off (and all observing floor lights off) if you are going to do tests on the spectrograph.
There are three other lighting systems on the observing floor which might need to be switched off:
* Dome incandescent lights -- the switch for these is on the dome wall, to the west side of the north pier (just to the right of the ``grating room'' door).
* Dome fluorescent lights just below catwalk level -- these are switched on/off at the new white switches beside the electrical panel (the metal doors on the south west wall of the dome near the stair railing)
* Dome fluorescent lights high up on the inside of the dome itself -- these can be operated from three different places:
# The control room, using the DOME dropdown menu on the TCS
# The observing floor, using the panel on the North pier. If the switch does not work the first time, press the "Request Control" button at the top of the panel and try again.
# The catwalk, using the button on the orange control cabinet by the dome shutters.

=== The new warm Warm room control panel ===
In April 2013, a new panel was installed in the warm room to control power to the telescope, slow motion drive and automatic dome rotation, and to indicate the status of a number of telescope subsystems (see figure below). Its functionality is described below.
The power OFF indicator will flash if an attempt is made to power down the telescope while the above subsystems are not in a safe state.
