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 />
