UGA Error Messages

4 –

Reserved

“IG voltage”,

() No power on the ion gauge controller board.

(2) The selected IG filament is burnt.

(3) The ion gauge failed to maintain the grid voltage. This

condition turns off the ion gauge.

“IG emission”,

The ion gauge failed to maintain the emission current. This

condition turns off the ion gauge.

“IG off failed”,

The ion gauge is not turned off in time, probably due to

miscommunication between the main control board

and the auxiliary control board.

Reserved

“RGA off failed”,

The RGA is not turned off in time, probably due to

miscommunication between the main control board and

the auxiliary control board.

“No Mux detected”,

Multi-inlet valve controller is not detected.

“Mux malfunction”,

The multi-inlet valve channel reported from the controller

does not match with that of the main control board,

probably due to miscommunication between the main

control board and the auxiliary control board.

83 - 84 Reserved

“No Vent valve”,

No vent valve was detected.
