In the event Buyer discovers or learns that a product does not conform to warranty, Buyer shall immediately notify Seller in writing of such non-conformity, specifying in reasonable detail the nature of such non-conformity. If Seller is not provided with such written notification, Seller shall not be liable for any further damages which could have been avoided if Seller had been provided with immediate written notification.

In no event shall Seller be liable for any costs, expenses or damages, whether direct or indirect, special, incidental, consequential, or other, on any claim of any defective product, in excess of the price paid by Buyer for the product plus return transportation charges prepaid.
No warranty is made by Seller of any Seller product which has been installed, used or operated contrary to Seller's written instruction manual or which has been subjected to misuse, negligence or accident or has been repaired or altered by anyone other than Seller or which has been used in a manner or for a purpose for which the Seller product was not designed nor against any defects due to plans or instructions supplied to Seller by or for Buyer.

Cygnus 2 Operating Manual
Chapter 1
Introduction and Specifications
1.1 Introduction
The Cygnus® 2 is a closed loop process controller designed for use primarily in physical vapor deposition. The Cygnus 2 monitors and/or controls the rate and thickness of the deposition of thin films. Deposition rate and thickness are inferred from the frequency change induced by mass added to a quartz crystal. This technique positions sensors in the path between or to the side of the source of the vaporized material and the target substrate. The sensor incorporates an exposed oscillating quartz crystal whose frequency decreases as material accumulates. The change in frequency provides information to determine rate and thickness and to continually control the evaporation power source. With user programmed time, thickness and power limits and with desired rates and material characteristics, the Cygnus 2 is capable of automatically controlling the process in a precise and repeatable manner. User interaction is accomplished via the Cygnus 2 front panel or remote communication and consists of selection or entry of parameters to define the process.
A complete system consists of a main electronics unit also called the Cygnus 2, sensor heads and a crystal interface unit (XIU) for each attached sensor. These items are generally bundled at the factory and are also sold separately.
This Cygnus 2 Operating Manual provides user information for installing, programming and operating the main electronics unit.
When reading the Cygnus 2 Operating Manual, please pay particular attention to the Notes, Cautions, and Warnings found throughout the text. The Notes, Cautions, and Warnings are defined in section 1.2.1 on page 1-2.
You are invited to comment on the usefulness and accuracy of this manual by visiting our website at www.inficon.com.

1.2.1 Definition of Notes, Cautions and Warnings
When using this manual, please pay attention to the Notes, Cautions, and Warnings found throughout. For the purposes of this manual they are defined as follows:
NOTE: Pertinent information that is useful in achieving maximum Cygnus 2 efficiency when followed.
CAUTION
Failure to heed these messages could result in damage to the Cygnus 2.
WARNING
Failure to heed these messages could result in personal injury.
WARNING - Risk Of Electric Shock
Dangerous voltages are present which could result in personal injury.

1.2.2 General Safety Information
WARNING - Risk Of Electric Shock
Do not open the Cygnus 2 case! There are no user-serviceable components within the Cygnus 2 case. Dangerous voltages may be present whenever the power cord or external input/relay connectors are present. Refer all maintenance to qualified personnel.
CAUTION
This Cygnus 2 contains delicate circuitry which is susceptible to transient power line voltages. Disconnect the line cord whenever making any interface connections. Refer all maintenance to qualified personnel.

Cygnus 2 Operating Manual
1.2.3 Earth Ground
The Cygnus 2 is connected to earth ground through a sealed three-core (three-conductor) power cable, which must be plugged into a socket outlet with a protective earth terminal. Extension cables must always have three conductors including a protective earth terminal.
WARNING - Risk Of Electric Shock
Never interrupt the protective earth circuit.
Any interruption of the protective earth circuit inside or outside the Cygnus 2, or disconnection of the protective earth terminal is likely to make the Cygnus 2 dangerous.
This symbol indicates where the protective earth ground is connected inside the Cygnus 2. Never unscrew or loosen this connection.

1.2.4 Main Power Connection
WARNING - Risk Of Electric Shock
This Cygnus 2 has line voltage present on the primary circuits whenever it is plugged into a main power source.
Never remove the covers from the Cygnus 2 during normal operation.
There are no operator-serviceable items within the
Cygnus 2.
Removal of the top or bottom covers must be done only by a technically qualified person.
In order to comply with accepted safety standards, the Cygnus 2 must be installed into a rack system which contains a mains switch. This switch must break both sides of the line when it is open and it must not disconnect the safety ground.

1.3 How To Contact INFICON
Worldwide customer support information is available under Support at www.inficon.com where you can contact:
a Technical Support Engineer with questions regarding applications for and programming the Cygnus 2.
a Service Engineer with questions regarding troubleshooting, diagnosing or repairing a defective Cygnus 2.
Sales and Customer Service, to find the INFICON Sales office nearest to you.
Repair Service, to find the INFICON Service Center nearest to you.
If you are experiencing a problem with your Cygnus 2, please have the following information readily available:
the serial number and firmware version for your Cygnus 2,
a description of your problem,
an explanation of any corrective action that you may have already attempted,
and the exact wording of any error messages that you may have received.
1.3.1Returning Your Cygnus 2
Do not return any component of your Cygnus 2 to INFICON without first speaking with a Customer Support Representative. You must obtain a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number from the Customer Support Representative.
If you deliver a package to INFICON without an RMA number, your package will be held and you will be contacted. This will result in delays in servicing your Cygnus 2.
Prior to being given an RMA number, you may be required to complete a Declaration Of Contamination (DOC) form if your sensor has been exposed to process materials. DOC forms must be approved by INFICON before an RMA number is issued. INFICON may require that the sensor be sent to a designated decontamination facility, not to the factory.
