6 Service and Maintenance<br />
Symptom<br />
IG will not turn on, or turns on briefly then shuts off.<br />
IG display shows a steady number when IG is off.<br />
Convectron Gauge display reads a fixed (non<br />
changing) pressure.<br />
Pressure reading is higher than expected.<br />
Degas will not turn on.<br />
IG shuts off when degas is initiated.<br />
IG pressure reads extremely low.<br />
IG pressure readout very erratic.<br />
Green +18 LED out on control board.<br />
Possible Cause<br />
IG at too high pressure.<br />
Auto turn off circuit in Convectron Gauge module is<br />
shutting off IG.<br />
Emission current setting wrong for pressure in gauge.<br />
Improper IG connector hookup.<br />
Badly contaminated IG.<br />
Damaged or contaminated cathode coating, will not sustain<br />
emission. Try alternate cathode.<br />
Short in IG cable.<br />
Short between IG electrodes.<br />
Open cathode in IG. Try alternate cathode.<br />
Scale factor switch is not in its center position.<br />
IG AUTO switch is left in the SET position.<br />
IG contaminated.<br />
Low (L) pressure range is not selected appropriately (pressure is<br />
below 10 -7 Torr).<br />
Interference from other ion source.<br />
Poor conductance in gauge's vacuum connection to chamber.<br />
Gas source in plumbing to gauge, such as leak or<br />
contamination.<br />
Chamber pressure high because of leak, contamination, or<br />
pump failure.<br />
Poor location selected for gauge.<br />
Faulty gauge or power cable.<br />
Faulty electrometer.<br />
System pressure above 5 x 10 -5 Torr.<br />
IG not turned on.<br />
Degas fuse blown.<br />
Badly contaminated IG.<br />
Collector unplugged.<br />
Bad collector cable.<br />
Faulty electrometer.<br />
IG badly contaminated.<br />
Improper IG or Controller grounding.<br />
Bad collector cable.<br />
Excessive noise source.<br />
Interference from other charged particle source in chamber.<br />
Faulty electrometer.<br />
Improper connection of Power Supply cable.<br />
+18 volt supply to relays faulty.<br />
