	COLDEX (Cold bore Experiment), installed in the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) at CERN, is a test vacuum sector used in 2001-2004 to validate the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) cryogenic vacuum system with LHC type proton beams. Its cryostat houses a 2.2 m long copper perforated beam screen surrounded by a stainless steel cold bore, both individually temperature controlled down to 5 and 3 K, respectively. In the framework of the development for the High Luminosity upgrade of the LHC (HL-LHC), COLDEX has been re-commissioned in 2014. The objective of this re-commissioning is the validation of the performance of amorphous carbon coatings at cryogenic temperature with LHC type beams. The existing COLDEX beam screen has been dismounted and carbon coated, while a complete overhaul of the vacuum, cryogenic and control systems has been carried out. This contribution describes the phases of re-commissioning and reviews the current experimental set-up. An overview of the possible measurements with COLDEX, in view of its HL-LHC experimental program, is also presented.

	The copper-stabilizer continuity measurement (CSCM) was devised in order to attain complete electrical qualification of all busbar joints, lyres, and the magnet bypass connections in the 13~kA circuits of the LHC. A CSCM is carried out at 20 K, i.e., just above the critical temperature, with resistive magnets. The circuit is then subject to an incremental series of controlled powering cycles, ultimately mimicking the decay from nominal current in the event of a magnet quench. A type test to prove the validity of such a procedure was carried out with success in April 2013, leading to the scheduling of a CSCM on all main dipole circuits up to and including 11.1 kA, i.e., the current equivalent of 6.5 TeV operation. This paper details the procedure, with respect to the type test, as well as the results and analyses of the LHC-wide qualification campaign.
