What to do if Leica EM ACE600 displays 'Process terminated, Short circuit in glow-discharge'?
If the Leica Laboratory Equipment process is terminated due to a short-circuit in glow-discharge caused by invalid assembly of plates, check for deposited solid material on the shutter.
What to do if Leica EM ACE600 displays 'Process terminated, High voltage board defect'?
If the Leica Laboratory Equipment process is terminated due to a high voltage board defect, change the board, since output cannot be controlled anymore.
What to do if Leica EM ACE600 displays 'Process terminated, Sputter source short circuit!'?
If the Leica Laboratory Equipment process is terminated due to a sputter source short circuit caused by invalid assembly of the head, ring, or target, check for deposited solid material on the shutter.
What to do if Leica EM ACE600 Laboratory Equipment displays 'Pump comm. Error'?
If the Leica Laboratory Equipment displays 'Pump comm. Error' because no turbo-pump communication is established, check the cable or H485 controller on the HiVac PCB.
What to do if Leica Laboratory Equipment displays 'Controller comm. Error'?
If the Leica Laboratory Equipment displays 'Controller comm. Error' because no controller communication is established, check the status LED and software version. Try restarting or updating the software.
What to do if Leica EM ACE600 displays 'No gauge detected'?
If the Leica Laboratory Equipment displays 'No gauge detected' at start-up of software, restart the device.
What to do if Leica EM ACE600 displays 'Shutter motor not connected'?
If the Leica Laboratory Equipment displays 'Shutter motor not connected' because the shutter motor was not detected during software initialization, restart the equipment or check the cable connections.
What to do if Leica Laboratory Equipment displays 'Turbo current consumption too high'?
If the Leica Laboratory Equipment displays 'Turbo current consumption too high' due to either high turbo current or turbo temperature overheat, stop pumping and wait.
What to do if Leica EM ACE600 Laboratory Equipment says 'Process terminated mains supply voltage out of range >250 V'?
If the Leica Laboratory Equipment process is terminated because the mains supply voltage is out of range (>250 V), check if the correct voltage is delivered by the network.
What to do if Leica EM ACE600 Laboratory Equipment says 'Process terminated mains supply voltage out of range 150210 V'?
If the Leica Laboratory Equipment process is terminated because the mains supply voltage is out of range (150210 V), check if the correct voltage is delivered by the network.
