MDC-260 DEPOSITION CONTROLLER

OPERATING THE MDC-260

5-10

5.9.1.10 NO SENSORS ENABLED

This condition indicates that no sensors were enabled for measurement of this
material.

5.9.1.11 TIME

POWER

This message is displayed when the controller is completing the current layer
based on the last power and rate. This occurs in the event of a crystal failure
without a backup.

5.9.1.12 RATE

DEV.

ALARM

The deposition rate error is greater than the rate deviation value set in the Rate
Deviation Alarm parameter.

5.9.1.13 ALARM

ACTION

This message indicates the Alarm sound was initiated by an internal action.

5.9.1.14 CRYSTAL

MARGINAL

The sensor crystal in use is poor in quality. If the crystal is the backup one, the
Alert warning will sound when the process is in deposit state. If the primary
crystal is in poor quality then the Attention will sound.

5.9.1.15 RATE

DEV.

ALERT

The deposition rate deviation is greater than the value set in the Rate Deviation
Alert parameter.

5.9.1.16 MAX POWER ALERT

Indicates that the power output level has been at the Maximum Power level longer
than the time period set in the Power Alert Delay parameter.

5.9.1.17 MIN POWER ALERT

Indicates that the power output level has been at or below the Minimum Power
level longer than the time period set in the Power Alert Delay parameter.

5.9.1.18 ALERT

ACTION

This message indicates the Alert sound was initiated by an internal action.

5.9.1.19 XTAL FAIL SWITCH

This message indicates the primary crystal has failed and the sensor input has
been switched to the backup crystal. In addition, the Attention warning sounds.
Press any key to clear the sound.
