- Confirm that the shim PS is powered ON. If not, turn it on and check why it was off.
- Set 74.78 A.
Heater should be switched off during this operation.
Check that "Clamped Rate Limit Quench" should be not red.
Once current in power supply reached at magnet current 74.7802 Amp then power supply should attains the HOLD.
Wait for 20 seconds then turn on the "Heater ON".
After Set the current at 63.0 Amp and set rate at 0.5 Amp/min then go to Home and then press in the "To Set" this shows "Rate limit" on the home screen.
