  The ALBA Light Source pre-injector is a 100 MeV electron Linac which started operation in July 2010. Since then, several improvements have been made to the Linac system to enhance the beam stability and the operation reliability with special focus to top-up mode operation requirements. A description of the modifications applied to the RF system and an overview of the different modes of injection are presented. Also operational experience in decay mode and in the recently implemented top-up mode are reported.
