[time-nuts] 5071A ion pump current rising

[Corby Dawson]

John,

The protective circuit wont turn off the oven until you exceed approx.
40-45ua on the ion pump reading.

Hard to say if you will reach end of life from other factors first given
that it is a high performance unit.

They have a much shorter life than a standard tube.

It is sometimes possible to clear the whisker from the ion pump and
return to a normal current value.
