Description
The talk recalls the main parameters which defined the expected beam
loss generated quench levels (in 1985) and compares the results with
measurements of loss induced quenches at HERA during 1994-2005. The
parameters of the BLM system are discussed (like calibration,
positioning, alarm level, etc.) and the response of the system to
beam loss induced quenches with different time constants are analyzed.
