8.4.1 Diagnostic Procedures
The following diagnostic procedures employ the Crystal Sensor Emulator to
analyze a constant Crystal Fail message. The symptom is a Crystal Fail message
that is displayed by the Deposition Controller even after the monitor crystal has
been replaced with a new “good” monitor crystal.
NOTE: The "Unable To Auto Z" message will be displayed if the Crystal Sensor
Emulator is attached to a deposition controller and you are attempting to
use the Auto Z feature. This is to be expected and is normal.
8.4.1.1 Measurement System Diagnostic Procedure
1
. Remove the six-inch BNC cable from the
Feed-Through at point A.
2
Connect the Crystal Sensor Emulator to the 6 inch BNC cable at Point A.
If the XTAL Fail message disappears after approximately five seconds, the
measurement system is working properly. Re-install the six-inch BNC cable
to the Feed-Through. Go to
.
If the XTAL Fail message remains, continue at step 3.
3
Disconnect the six-inch BNC cable from the Oscillator and from the Emulator.
4
Visually inspect the six-inch BNC cable to verify that the center pins are seated
properly.
5
Use an Ohm meter to verify the electrical connections on the six-inch BNC
cable.
There must be continuity (<0.2 ohms) between the center pins.
There must be isolation (>10 megohms) between the center pins and the
connector shield.
There must be continuity between the connector shields.
Replace the six-inch BNC cable if it is found to be defective and repeat Step 2
of this procedure.
6
If the six-inch BNC cable is not defective, re-connect the six-inch cable to the
oscillator and to the Crystal Sensor Emulator. If the XTAL Fail message
remains, contact INFICON's Service Department. Refer to
