| - * On the Variox or Magnet VTI, open the needle valve more than |
| - normally in order to fill the pumping volume with some |
| - amount of liquid helium. Put "flow" of 20 mbar until the |
| - 1 K pot temperature is stable below 3 K. Then close |
| - the needle valve until a "flow" of about 10 mbar is reached |
| - (the pressure decreases only slowly). Then regulate the |
| - valve at about 10 mbar. This value must not be obeyed exactly, |
| - the idea behind the needle valve settings is the following: |
| - ** A lower flow is better for consumption (a "flow" of more |
| - than 10 mbar increase substatnitally the He consumption, but |
| - during the process of condensing it might be o.k.). |
| - ** The flow should be high enough to hold the 1 K pot temperature |
| - low (over long term: about 2 K with the Variox and about 2.5 K |
| - with the MA09). During the condensing phase, the 1 K pot temperature |
| - might increate to 3.5 K for a short time, when pushing the |
| - mixture quickly. |

| - Valve 12A can bae opened gradually, and opened completely, when the |
| - reading on G2 drops below 350 mbar. |

| - * After some time (about 30 min when using the Variox) the pressure on |
| - G1 falls below 150 mbar, and it is time to pump out the dump: close |
| - valve 9, and open valve 14 for a short time (close it when P1 raises |
| - above 50 mbar). As soon as the pressure on P1 drops down, you might open |
