6460 QqQ vacuum system error

Hi Joelcox

What does the log book report?

Mitch

Log book report:

<MSQQQ_1: QqQ fault detected: 1.23 vacuum system is not ready. This is typical during a pump down cycle or when the high vacuum pump is turned off during a vent cycle or fault condition>

Thank you very much, Harry.

The error described has occurred on different occasions and has caused my lab to replace two (2) MS40+ rough pumps in two years. The last pump was replaced on Jan 1, 2020 and developed same fault again on June 16, 2020.It’s very difficult to know the exact problem as two different pumps has developed same fault in two years.

Kindly help please.

Check your rough pump fan. Probably it is faulty.
