Power-Up Procedure

2.9 Power-Up and Test Procedure

It is important to verify that the magnet system has been properly

connected before the superconducting magnet is energized. This is

especially recommended if the system is to be controlled via a computer

since this setup will allow software debugging without the potential for

damage to the magnet. The following procedures will assist the user in the

verifying key system components.

1. Using the appropriate diagram from section 2.5 as a guide, verify

all system components are connected as shown. If there is any

doubt as to the correct connection of a component, contact an AMI

Technical Support Representative. The user may be required to

properly make a few connections between the various system

components which were disconnected to facilitate packing and

shipping.

2. Temporarily place a short across the magnet current terminals.

Often this is most easily accomplished by unfastening the heavy

cables from the magnet current leads and fastening them together.

This will allow rudimentary power supply checks without

energizing the superconducting magnet.

3. Energize the Model 430 Programmer by placing the power switch

in the

I (ON) position.

4. When prompted by the Model 430 Programmer, energize the power

supply and press ENTER on the Model 430 Programmer.

Warning

All power supply parameters, both hardware and software, have

been set at the AMI factory. Power supply control, with the exception

of powering

and

OFF

, is done by way of the AMI Model 430

Power Supply Programmer. No field adjustments or reconfiguration

of the power supply should be attempted in the field unless

specifically described in this document or recommended in writing

by an AMI Technical Support Representative.

5. Enter a stability setting of 100%. Refer to sections 3.3 on page 25

6. Verify the various setup menu values for the system (with the

exception of the stability setting, which is to be temporarily left at

100%). If the power supply system was purchased with an AMI

1. If the system shipped with CamLoc quick-disconnect connectors, they may be

quickly disconnected from the magnet leads and connected together.
