MDC-260 DEPOSITION CONTROLLER
BENCH CHECKOUT & INSPECTION 3-1
3. BENCH CHECKOUT & INSPECTION
3.1 INSPECTION
Your MDC-260 was released to the carrier in good condition and properly
packed. It is essential to all concerned that the contents of the shipment be
carefully examined when unpacked to assure that no damage occurred in transit.
Check the material received against the packing list to be certain that all elements
are accounted for. Items included with your controller are:
1 MDC-260 Deposition Controller
1 Operation and Service Manual
1 Power cord
1 Source cable (4 pin mini DIN connector)
1 Discrete I/O connector kit (37P D shell)
In addition, you may have ordered one or more of the accessories listed in Section
1.4. If there is evidence of loss or damage:
a) Notify the carrier or the carrier agent to request inspection of the loss
or damage claimed.
b) Keep the shipping containers until it is determined whether or not they
are needed to return the equipment to INFICON.
3.2 COLD POWER UP
When external power is initially supplied (a “cold” power up), the unit will run a
series of tests and initialize all program data. The LCD will show the controller
Sign-on screen with its configuration information. See Figure 5-1. The unit will
stay in this state until a key is pressed, at which time the LCD display will return
to the last viewed screen prior to loss of power.
3.3 WARM POWER UP
Pressing the front-panel “Power” key does not completely remove power from the
system, but rather puts the MDC-260 into a power-saving “Stand-by Mode”.
Pressing the key again wakes up the MDC-260 (a “warm” power up) and resumes
whatever operation was in process when the unit was disabled.
3.4 SAMPLE PROGRAM
The sample program listed below is included in the MDC-260 memory at the time
of shipment. It can be used to evaluate the controller by running it in Simulate
Mode. Follow instructions in Section 4 to navigate through the menu structure.
Check the controller parameter values against the sample program for discrepancy
and change if necessary. Note also, if the source or sensor configuration has been
changed during familiarization with the controller programming, appropriate
source and sensor parameter values also need to be retained for the sample
program to run correctly.
