8. Select the regulation mode:
◦ forward power
◦ load power
◦ voltage regulation
9. Make sure that set point in power control mode is set between the minimum
and maximum specifications. In voltage control mode, ensure that set point is
set at 20 V or more.
The requested set point should be accurately displayed on the front panel
display.
10. Send the RF POWER ON signal.
The RF ON LED on the front panel should light.
In user control mode, the RF POWER ON signal transitions from low to high on
pins 4 and 17 of the User port. If positive voltage was already applied to pins 4
and 17 when AC power to generator was enabled, there would be no output RF
power. The user has to cycle voltage on pins 4 and 17 to low and then back to
high to enable RF.
In host control mode, the RF POWER ON signal is Host port command 2. To
enable RF with command 2, a high level signal should be present on pins 4 and
17 of the User port.
The unit is now ready for normal operation.

COMMAND SEQUENCE AND TIMING
RECOMMENDATIONS
The recommended command sequence and timing provides guidelines to ensure that:
• Commands are issued in the correct order
• The delay between sending commands is long enough to allow the generator to
respond to the previous command
If commands are issued in an incorrect order or the required time between issuing
commands has not been met, the generator may not respond in the expected manner.
This could appear to be a generator malfunction when it is not, and that can be
avoided by using the recommended command sequence and timing.
