1, let unit pump down until indication of 1 or less than 1 is obtained.
(22) Place range selector switch (24) to the 10-5 position and monitor DISCHARGE GAUGE (4) for an
indication of 5 or less.

spattering occurs. Then slowly rotate FILAMENT ADJUST knob counterclockwise until spattering stops.
NOTE
During the coating process, observe the reflection of the heat lamps on the lens elements. The
lens elements will change colors as the thickness of the coating increases. The desired thickness
of coating has been obtained when the reflection on the lens elements turns purple to bluish-
purple in color. (550 to 600 millimicrons).
(25) Start the coating process by positioning the spatter shield lever (21) to the left.
(26) When the desired thickness of coating is obtained, the coating process is stopped by positioning the
spatter shield lever (21) to the right.
(27) Rotate FILAMENT ADJUST knob (23) fully counterclockwise and turn FILAMENT PWR switch (12) to
