What to do if the Inficon Controller XTC/3 locks up?

Phillip AguilarAug 13, 2025
If your Inficon Controller XTC/3 locks up, it might be due to several reasons:
* The covers or back panels may not be properly attached. Ensure that all covers and panels are securely fastened.
* There might be high electrical noise. Try rerouting cables to reduce noise pickup, keeping them at least 1 foot away from high power conducting lines. Also, ensure all ground wires are short with a large surface area to minimize ground impedance.
* There could be poor grounding. Verify proper earth ground, use an appropriate ground strap, eliminate ground loops by establishing the correct system grounding, and verify proper XTC/3 grounding.

If the power on LED is not illuminated on your Inficon Controller, it could be due to a few reasons:
* A blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker. Have qualified personnel replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
* The electrical cord might be unplugged. Reconnect the power cord to the wall and the back of the XTC/3.
* Incorrect line voltage. Have qualified personnel verify the line voltage.

How to troubleshoot poor rate control in Inficon Controller?

To troubleshoot poor rate control in your Inficon Controller:
* Refer to the instruction manual section on tuning control loop parameters, as control loop parameters might be improperly selected.
* Adjust the sweep frequency so it is not a multiple of the XTC/3 measurement frequency (4 Hz), as the electron beam sweep frequency might be "beating" with the XTC/3 measurement frequency.

If the control voltage output on your Inficon Controller does not function properly:
* Ensure the cable connection to the Source output does not have a potential across the contacts.
* Verify the Source output polarity and the required input polarity of the source power supply. Refer to the instruction manual to reconfigure the XTC/3 if necessary, as the polarity of the control voltage might be reversed relative to that accepted by the source power supply.
* Check for correct cable wiring in the appropriate section of the manual, as there might be improper control cable fabrication.

How to fix communications issues between the host computer and Inficon XTC/3 Controller?

Janice EdwardsSep 4, 2025
To fix communication issues between the host computer and your Inficon XTC/3 Controller:
* Verify correct cable wiring as described in the manual, as there might be an improper cable connection.
* Verify the BAUD rate in the host's applications program and in the XTC/3, as the BAUD rate in the host computer might not be the same as the XTC/3.
* Verify that the XTC/3 protocol (RS232, TCP/IP) matches the host, as incompatible protocols might be in use.
* Verify the device address in the host's applications program and the XTC/3 address, as there might be an incorrect device address (TCP/IP).
