SQM-160 Operating Manual

Figure 2-3 Typical Vacuum System Wiring

Sensor

Holds the quartz crystal used to measure rate and thickness. Crystals must be
replaced occasionally.

In-Vac Cable

Microdot cable that connects the sensor to the feedthrough.

Feedthrough

Provides isolation between vacuum and atmosphere for electrical and cooling
lines.

6 in. BNC Cable

Provides a flexible connection from the feedthrough to the oscillator. Keep this
cable as short as possible.

Oscillator

Contains the electronics to operate the quartz crystal. The length from the oscillator
to the crystal should be under 40 in. (1 m).

10' BNC Cable

Connects the oscillator to the SQM-160. Lengths up to 100 ft. (30 m) are
acceptable.

Ground Wire

A wire, preferably braided, that connects the vacuum system to the SQM-160
ground terminal.
