Before the filament (and ion energy) can be switched on, the pressure
in the vacuum chamber must be less than the vacuum gauge high
pressure trip level (normally set to 3.2 x 10
than the vacuum gauge low pressure trip level (1 x 10
On initial switching it is quite normal for the filament to outgas
slightly as it heats up. This will result in an increase in the measured
pressure of the vacuum system. The trip logic therefore has a limited
amount of hysteresis to accommodate the pressure rise. To prevent
the trip circuit from immediately switching the filament off again,
the "off trip" is set higher than the "on trip" so a pressure reading
above the set point is normal.
