Filament Trip/Overpressure And Leds - Ametek FlarePro User Manual

Filament Trip/Overpressure and LEDs

1. Check the LEDs on the DCU bracket. Filament status can be
determined by the color of the LEDs. Refer to the previous section for
LED details.
2. Make sure the Filament is turned on by checking the "Light Bulb"
icon on the toolbar in the AMETEK System 2000 Software to make
sure it is YELLOW (On). Check the Filament status and emission
current by accessing the Edit menu on the toolbar and selecting
Add Display. Click Head Status.
3. Restart the entire system and recheck the Filament status and
emission current.
4. If there is no Filament current, turn off the instrument, pull the
electronics unit from the analyzer head and check the continuity
between Pins 3 and 8.
5. If the Filament is burned out (LED is RED), open the vacuum
system and replace the Filament assembly.
If the Filament checks out OK, do the following:
•
Check the LEDs on the DCU bracket.
•
If the LEDs are GREEN and there is no overpressure and the Filament
has not tripped, call the factory for assistance.
