How to Troubleshoot the Inficon IC6000
The Inficon IC6000 Vacuum Deposition is a useful monitoring tool that can be used to measure a multitude of measurements and deviations to alert owners when the stability of an object or experiment is becoming unstable. If your device has quit detecting deviations or refuses to monitor at all, there could be a minor or even serious problem with your device.

Check the temperature of the cooling system while the device is running. The Inficon IC6000 has a multitude of components that all rely on the cooling system to keep the device from overheating. To check the temperature, insert a thermometer into the device, preferably near one of the cooling cords that run near the sides of the inside of the case, and wait for a temperature reading. Anything above 20 Celsius near the water-cooling system is unusual for the device.

Disconnect all cords from the device, even the components that are functioning properly.

3
Brush all the ports and additional components of the Inficon IC6000 with a Q-Tip or similar swab. Dust and other particles can often set into the device causing interference between the Inficon IC6000 and any connected devices. For the crystal seating bar specifically, you should lightly dip the Q-Tip in some type of glass-cleaning solvent, such as Windex, to remove any debris from the component. Take care to wipe down all components of the device carefully from the device's port, sensor, holder and seats.

Reconnect the cords in different ports and ensure they are plugged in snugly to the Inficon IC6000. If objects that were previously being monitored correctly are now malfunctioning, then the problem is more than likely with the ports on your Inficon IC6000.
