3. SHUTTER RELAY - This relay is intended to provide control of a deposition

system source shutter. The front panel and remote input OPEN and
CLOSE SHUTTER functions directly control this relay. The contacts
are closed when the source shutter is intended to be open. The LCD
legend for this relay is (SHUTTER). The relay status is also
controlled by a END THICKNESS event. This event is controlled by
the END THICKNESS setpoint parameter. If the shutter is open at
the time of this event it will automatically close. The (SHUTTER)
legend will turn off and the (END THICK) legend will become visible,
indicating the shutter was closed by the END THICKNESS event.

4. THICKNESS SETPOINT - This relay provides a contact closure whenever the

accumulated thickness display value equals or exceeds the thickness
setpoint parameter value. This relay function is disabled with a
parameter value of zero. The LCD legend for this relay is (SP
THICK).

REMOTE INPUTS

The STM-100 / MF is standard equipped with four remote input functions.

These inputs are intended to be activated with a contact closure to ground but may
also be controlled with TTL level signals. All remote inputs are leading edge
detected and can thus remain activated indefinitely. To cause the event to happen
again the input must be removed for a minimum of 200 milliseconds and then can
be re-applied. The four available input commands are:

1. REMOTE SHUTTER OPEN - Functionally identical to front panel SHUTTER

OPEN button. Activating this input will close the contacts of the
SHUTTER RELAY.

2. REMOTE SHUTTER CLOSE - Functionally identical to front panel shutter close

button. Activating this input will open the contacts of the SHUTTER
RELAY.

3. REMOTE THICKNESS ZERO - Sets the accumulated thickness display to

zero. Does not zero the elapsed time timer.

4. REMOTE TIMER ZERO - Re-initializes the elapsed time timer. Does not zero

accumulated thickness.
