MDC-260 DEPOSITION CONTROLLER
FRONT PANEL DISPLAYS AND CONTROLS
2-3
In the Manual mode the control voltage remains constant unless incremented up
or down by means of the Remote Power Handset. At entry into the Manual
mode, the power is left at the last value prior to entry and is thereafter modified
only through the Remote Power Handset. Exit from the manual mode is
accomplished by means of the Manual or Reset key.
The MDC-260 can also be aborted through the Remote Power Handset. This
abort feature is active whether or not MDC-260 is in the manual mode.
2.2.5 START
KEY
The Start key starts a process, starts a layer, or resumes an aborted process. A
green light behind this key indicates the controller is in process. When this key is
pressed the first time a list of stored processes is displayed in the LCD window.
You simply scroll the cursor on to the desired process and press Start again to
start the process.
2.2.6 ABORT
KEY
The Abort key drives the MDC-260 into the Abort mode. All source powers are
set to zero and discrete outputs are set to inactive state. A red light behind this
key indicates the controller is in the abort mode.
2.2.7 RESET
KEY
The Reset key is used to clear the controller from Abort mode and put it into the
Ready mode. A yellow light behind this key indicates a Ready mode. The Reset
key is inactive during the In Process mode so that a premature exit from the In
Process mode requires an abort.
CAUTION: Once a process is reset, it cannot be resumed. Consequently, don't
reset an aborted process if you want to resume it once the problem is cleared.
2.2.8 ZERO
KEY
Pressing the Zero key causes the thickness display to go to zero. This key is
active at all times and if pressed during the deposit state will result in a film
thicker than that desired by an amount equal to the thickness displayed at the time
the display was zeroed.
2.2.9 SHUTTER
KEY
This key is used to manually open and close all source shutters. The red light is
illuminated when the active source shutter relay is closed. This key is only active
when the controller is in the Process Ready mode.
