Why is the MKS Industrial Equipment pressure readout different from other gauges?
If the pressure readout from your MKS Industrial Equipment Mini-Convectron is significantly different from other gauges, first, determine the actual gas type in the chamber and calibrate the Mini-Convectron Module accordingly. Unexpected gas sources can also be caused by the process within the chamber or outgassing of the product in the process chamber.
What to do if MKS Industrial Equipment pressure readout cannot be calibrated?
If the pressure readout from your MKS Industrial Equipment cannot be calibrated, it might be due to the gauge tube being contaminated with material from the vacuum chamber. In this case, clean or replace the gauge tube. Also, if the gold plating on the sensor wire has been attacked by a gas, the gauge tube must be replaced.
What to do if MKS Industrial Equipment Bridge analog output voltage is out of range?
If the analog output voltage of your MKS Industrial Equipment Bridge reads less than +0.22 Vdc or greater than +10 Vdc, it could be due to gauge tube failure. In this case, check the gauge tube. It can also be due to bridge amplifier failure, in which case you should replace the Module.
How to troubleshoot MKS Industrial Equipment unit that will not power-up?
To troubleshoot why your MKS Industrial Equipment unit will not power up, check for +11 Vdc to +26.5 Vdc power across pins 2 and 3 of the DeviceNet connector.
Why is the pressure reading on my MKS Industrial Equipment grossly in error?
If the pressure reading from your MKS Industrial Equipment is grossly in error, it could be due to several factors. The controller might be out of calibration. Other possible causes include an unknown gas type, the gauge not being mounted horizontally, a damaged or dirty sensor, or extremes of temperature or mechanical vibration.
