Application Notes
The valve must be mounted vertically, with the anode at the top. A choke input filter circuit must always be used. Ambient temperature must not exceed 35C. Filament must run for 15 minutes prior to anode voltage application when newly installed. A delay of 30 seconds is essential when switching on from cold.
