Recently, a new SLED test stand located in the Advanced Phone Source linac klystron gallery was developed using a spare modulator-klystron system and a recently developed prototype water station. The new test stand will be used to condition, tune and perform rf measurements on spare SLEDs without interfering with normal daily linac operations. This will allow technical groups to replace a low-performance SLED from one of the operational linac sectors with a fully conditioned SLED. The pre-conditioned SLED is expected to require less conditioning time after being put into operation compared to an unconditioned SLED. As an additional benefit, the prototype water station system developed to replace aging linac water systems can be tested under realistic conditions. In this paper, we describe the test stand design, prototype water station system, and first results using it to condition SLEDs and perform SLED rf measurements.
