Operation

Persistent Switch Control : Exiting Persistent Mode

Note

If desired, press the 

ESC

 key return the Model 430 Programmer to 

the default display.

Note

Refer to section 3.6.2 on page 35 for the procedure to display the 

magnet current that was established when the persistent switch was 

cooled.

6. If desired, the power supply system can be de-energized. Turn the 

power supply off first followed in a few seconds by the Model 430 

Programmer.

Note

The Model 430 Programmer will store the state of the magnet in 

memory and assist the user in exiting the persistent mode when the 

Model 430 Programmer is next turned on (discussed in the section to 

follow).

3.13.3  Procedure for Exiting Persistent Mode 

To exit the persistent mode of magnet operation, the user should perform 

the following steps:

1. If the Model 430 Programmer 

has not been

 powered off since the 

magnet was placed in persistent mode, 

proceed to step 3

.

2. If the Model 430 Programmer 

has been

 powered off since the 

magnet was placed in persistent mode, complete the following 

steps a. and b. before proceeding to step 3.

a. Energize the Model 430 and wait for the prompt on the Model 

430 display and then energize the power supply. 

After the power supply has been on for a few seconds, press 

ENTER

 to clear the Model 430 screen prompt.
