   - Turn on and set the Del main extractor supply to the desired voltage for the particular buncher setting.   - Turn on and set the Del main extractor supply to the desired voltage for the particular buncher setting.
 +  - Slowly turn up the ionizer heater. ​  The ionizer operates at 21 amperes. It should take about 2 minutes to reach 21 A from the standby value of 10 A. Keep in mind that the amperage will fall slightly as the ionizer gets warmer. ​ Keep adjusting the current until the ionizer is stable at 21 A.
 +  - Turn up the Cs feed tube heater to 0.450 amperes.  ​
 +  - Set the cesium reservoir heater to 0.380. This should be enough to give ones of microamps beam for p and d.    A setting of about 0.400 - 0.420 should produce tens of microamps. Cs vaporization starts at a temperature of ~80° Celsius. ​  The maximum reservoir temperature should not exceed 100° Celsius. The reservoir current should not exceed 0.500
   - Set the Glassman extractor power supply to 12.5 KV. Check to be sure the current is less than about 5 milliamps and the "​control milliampres"​ light is NOT lit. High current indicates that the source needs serviced.   - Set the Glassman extractor power supply to 12.5 KV. Check to be sure the current is less than about 5 milliamps and the "​control milliampres"​ light is NOT lit. High current indicates that the source needs serviced.
   - Set the Glassman target power supply to 6.5 kV. Check to be sure the current is less than about 5 milliamps and the "​control milliampres"​ light is NOT lit. High current indicates that the source needs serviced.   - Set the Glassman target power supply to 6.5 kV. Check to be sure the current is less than about 5 milliamps and the "​control milliampres"​ light is NOT lit. High current indicates that the source needs serviced.
-  - Slowly turn up the ionizer heater((This source has a HELICAL ionizer.)) in small steps. ​  The ionizer operates at 21 amperes. It should take about ten (10) minutes to reach 21 A from the standby value of 10 A. Keep in mind that the amperage will fall slightly as the ionizer gets warmer. ​ Keep adjusting the current until the ionizer is stable at 21 A.

   - Tune the beam with the inflection magnet, source lens (usually about 1.5 kV), lens A, and 2Y steerer.   - Tune the beam with the inflection magnet, source lens (usually about 1.5 kV), lens A, and 2Y steerer.
   - Monitor the target and extractor currents: target current should be around 2.5 milliamps, and no more than 5 mA.   - Monitor the target and extractor currents: target current should be around 2.5 milliamps, and no more than 5 mA.
