4.1.

Start operations

The supply is switched on by pressing the I-O switch into position I. The connection is signaled by
the display turned ON or by the green light of the Status Led ON LINE for version with RS485.
The IP is not electrically powered when the supply is switched on: the word Stop shows on the
display (for more details see the display section).
Some ticks are heard during the starting of the power supply belonging to the automatic
initialization settings.
SIP POWER switches on very rapidly (3-5 seconds) and is immediately ready to locally operate.
Remote communication (Ethernet plus USB module) is available after 30 seconds from the switch
on of the SIP POWER.
During device initialization, the outer electrical circuit is tested. If the interlock plug is not inserted or
some other signal (defined alarm) is present, the display will show the message about the detected
alarm/alarms. Name of alarm/alarms appear and blink on the display. In case of more than one
alarm, their names are shown sequentially.
Even if alarm root is removed (example: interlock sensor is inserted again) the message will stay
visible till the operator intervention. In order to delete the alarm message from display and memory,
the right key (up arrow) must be pressed for 5 seconds.
For more details see chapter 5 "display and multiple functions of keys".
4.2.

Operating IP supply

The IP supply can be switched on by pressing the pushbutton START/STOP on the front panel.
The unit must be switched on only at the recommended starting pressure (see pumps Operating
Instruction Manual for details). The working state of the supply is indicated by the word Active on
the first line of the display (for more details see display section).
When the START button is pressed, the voltage is gradually provided to the pump with a linear
ramp and some ticks related to internal automatic settings can be heard. Those ticks can be heard
also during normal operation.
The current flowing through the pump is shown on the display. Pump voltage, pump current and
output power can be alternatively displayed by pushing the A/V/W button.
Pressure inside the ion pump is roughly estimated from the current value and is shown on the
display (pushing the button Torr/Pa/mb changes the unit of measurement).
