Turbo pump issue after blackout recovery in TAMA

We had blackout on 20211113. Today, we recovered facilities in TAMA and found one of the turbo pumps got error.

To recover vacuum system, I firstly turned on rotary/dry pump and wait for a few minutes and open the gate valve between rotary/dry pump and turbo pump. Then I turned on turbo pump.

The error happened only for the turbo pump in the middle of arm. And it happened few minutes after I switched it on. The large noise was heard from it. The error code is E089 shown on the screen of turbo pump controller.

I checked online, the E089 indicates that rotor is outside its nominal position.
