6.4  Troubleshooting

Table 6-1 General Symptoms/Possible Causes

Symptom

Possible Causes

Remedy

Pressure reading is 

inaccurate or erratic

1.  Pressure may be above the
2.  System's range.
3.  External magnetic field may be 

interfering with sensor operation.

4.  Sensor may need cleaning.
5.  Controller may be out of calibration.
6.  Gas in system may not be air or 

nitrogen

1.  

Turn OFF Controller. Do not operate 

above 10

-2

 Torr.

2.  

Move magnetic field source away 

from sensor or vice versa.

3.  

Rebuild sensor intern

als (see Section 

6.7, Accessories).

4.  

Return to MKS for repair.

5.  

Use a correct conversion factor.

Turn power ON.

3.  

Replace fuse.

4.  

Return to MKS for repair.

LO is displayed

1.  

Ion current or high voltage cable may 

be disconnected or may

 

have a bad or 

broken connection.

2.  

Sensor discharge may not have yet 

started.

3.  

Pressure may be below

4.  

System's range.

5.  

Pressure may be above

 

System's 

range.

1.  

Check cable connections.

 

Replace 

cable if necessary.

2.  

Temporarily backfill to a higher 

pressure (10

-4

 Torr).

3.  

The Series 943 Controller is 

operating normally.

4.  

Turn high voltage OFF and set 

pressure below 10

-2

 Torr.

PRO is displayed

5.  Pressure is above the protect set 

point.

1.  

 Change protect set point or reduce 

system pressure.

Set point relay will not 

operate

1.  Set point voltage may be incorrectly 

set.

2.  Short in or incorrectly wired 

Accessory connector.

3.  Defective PC board.

1.  

Check set point.

2.  

Rewire connector.

3.  

Return to MKS for repair.

High Voltage

To prevent electrical shock, turn OFF electrical power before 
servicing the Module. Do not touch any gauge pins while the 
sensor tube is under vacuum.
