The ALBA light source has been operating in decay mode since May 2012. Now it is ready for top-up operation, which should become the standard operation mode for users from mid 2014. In this paper we are going to summarise the different steps that have taken place before the start of top-up operation: radiation safety simulations and measurements, upgrade of hardware and software interlocks, control software and injection optimisation.

ALBA is a third generation synchrotron light source whose injector consists of a 100 MeV Linac and a Booster that accelerates the beam up to the full energy, 3 GeV. Two pulsed klystrons are used to feed the Linac cavities. Klystron 1 feeds the bunching section and also the first accelerating structure. Klystron 2 feeds exclusively the second accelerating structure. Recently, a S-band switching system installed in the waveguide system allows us to use also Klystron 2 to power the low-energy section and operate the Linac at lower energy, around 65 MeV. So that injection into the Booster is still possible while, in the meantime, Klystron 1 can be connected to a dummy load for reparation. Therefore, the time response after a klystron failure is improved. Details of the waveguide upgrade and the results of the ALBA Linac operated with only one klystron are presented.
