The European Spallation Source (ESS) is one of Europe's largest planned research infrastructures. The collaborative project is funded by a collaboration of 17 European countries and is under design and construction in Lund, Sweden. Three families of Superconducting Radio-Frequency (SRF) cavities are being prototyped, counting the spoke resonators with a geometric beta of 0.5, medium-beta elliptical cavities (βg=0.67) and high-beta elliptical cavities (bg=0.86). The 5 MW, 2.86 ms long pulse proton accelerator has a repetition frequency of 14 Hz (4 % duty cycle), and a beam current of 62.5 mA. The cavities and power couplers are assembled into cryomodules, which are operating using RF sources, cryogenic and water coolings. This document describes the process of the ESS SRF cryomodule operation while refereeing to operational modes.
