Page 40
Affect of Forces on the Piston Once the facility exhaust provides a sufficient static •A exhaust pressure, the upward force will become > F larger than the downward force. Once this occurs, the piston lifts and accelerates upwards due to the net upward force on the piston.
4.3 Manual Mode Operation of the SENTRY 1000 Manual (Stand-Alone) Operation Manual operation of the SENTRY 1000 is accomplished by using the TIM- 100/120 keypad. For the TIM-120, access to the keypad and display requires the use of the TIM-200 program module. Use the keypad to enter changes to the menu items provided by the TIM-100/120.
4.4 Tool Interfaced Operation of the SENTRY 1000 Analog Interfaced Operation When the SENTRY system is configured for analog operation, the process exhaust pressure set points are entered through the process tool. The analog interface operates on a standard 0 to 5 volt full scale (equivalent to 0 to 2” H O or 0 to 50.8 mm H O) command signal.
Preventative Maintenance (PM) Inspection and Cleaning Schedules All process environments and production usage vary greatly from site to site. Therefore, MKS recommends checking the SENTRY 1000 piston and canister for foreign material once every two weeks during the first quarter-year of operation and quarterly thereafter.
