Vacuum Chamber equilibrium temperature for bake 3 are 126 C and 88 C for the chamber wall and turbo pump flange respectively. There were reached with the PID controllers both being set to 150 C.
Also noticed some discoloration around the port insulation. It could be burned from being exposed to the heater tape directly without insulation or it could be that the insulation, which looks much different, is depositing something around the ports.
The turbo pump overheated and the heating tape had to be turned off in order to get the pump back online. It was unusually hot at 52 C. Hottest it got in bake 2 was 38 C.
