MKS Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full MKS product range. Below are the major product families we service.
MKS Baratron Pressure Transducers
Capacitive absolute pressure transducers (10 Torr to 1000 Torr) used in semiconductor lithography, CVD chambers, and vacuum systems. Common failures include zero-drift due to thermal stress, sensor element rupture from overpressure, and analog output signal loss.
MKS Type 390 Pressure Transducers
High-accuracy differential and absolute pressure sensors for cleanroom HVAC, pharmaceutical isolators, and bioreactor monitoring. Prone to diaphragm fatigue, connector corrosion in humid environments, and 4-20mA output failure.
MKS 1359 Residual Gas Analyzer
Quadrupole mass spectrometer for vacuum diagnostics and chamber contamination detection in semiconductor and pharmaceutical processing. Failures include filament burn-out, ion source contamination, detector loss of sensitivity, and USB communication dropout.
MKS Type 247 Multi-Channel Controller
Process controller for pressure, vacuum, and flow measurement monitoring across multiple channels. Common faults include relay module burn-out, analog input card malfunction, SD card corruption, and loss of setpoint configuration after power loss.
MKS Vacuum Gauges (Penning & Thermocouple)
Cold cathode Penning gauges and thermocouple vacuum gauges for UHV and HV measurement in research labs and process chambers. Failures stem from electrode erosion, filament aging, and sensor tube cracking under vibration.
MKS Type 200 Electronic Manometers
Portable digital pressure measurement instruments for commissioning and troubleshooting process lines. Display failures, sensor calibration loss, and battery contact corrosion are typical repair requirements.

Common MKS Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in MKS equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓Baratron zero-shift and calibration drift — Thermal cycling and moisture ingress into sensor housing cause the capacitive element to shift its baseline, resulting in output offset errors of 0.5%-3%. Common in semiconductor fabs with poor HVAC stability and fluctuating chamber temperatures.
- ✓Type 390 differential pressure sensor no output — 4-20mA output failure due to corroded header pin contacts or internal shunt resistor open circuit. Humidity ingress in coastal Indian pharma plants accelerates corrosion of PCB traces and connector terminals.
- ✓1359 RGA filament burnt or no electron beam — Filament element burns out after 3000-5000 operating hours or fails prematurely due to pressure spikes (backfill events) that cause excessive thermionic current. Contamination on filament surface also reduces emission.
- ✓Type 247 controller loses configuration after power loss — SD memory card contact corrosion, firmware boot sector corruption, or battery-backed SRAM failure prevent non-volatile storage of setpoints and calibration data. UPS failure or power surges trigger the fault.
- ✓Cold cathode Penning gauge no high voltage output — HV supply module capacitor failure (ESR breakdown), electrode erosion creating inter-electrode short, or high-voltage relay stuck open. Plasma spikes from rapid pressure transients damage the HV supply circuit.
- ✓Type 200 manometer display segments missing or blank — LCD segment driver IC failure, cracked connector between display and main PCB, or electrolyte leakage from battery compartment corrodes display ribbon. Shock or vibration during transport causes mechanical detachment.

Frequently Asked Questions — MKS Repairs
Do you repair MKS pressure transducers and vacuum gauges across all of India?+
Yes, absolutely. Synchronics repairs the complete MKS product portfolio — Baratron transducers, Type 390 sensors, Penning gauges, RGA analyzers, and Type 247 controllers. We offer PAN India door pickup and drop from Vadodara, Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Bengaluru. Our single repair facility in Vadodara, Gujarat ensures consistency and faster turnaround.
My MKS Baratron shows +5% reading error. Is it calibration drift?+
Most likely yes. MKS Baratron pressure transducers (627, 627D, 625D series) experience zero-drift and span-shift after 2-3 years of continuous operation due to thermal cycling and moisture ingress. Synchronics performs full re-calibration against a NIST-traceable standard, replaces desiccant, and tests across the full pressure range. We issue calibration certificates valid for ISO audits.
How long does MKS RGA (1359) filament repair take?+
Filament replacement on the MKS 1359 Residual Gas Analyzer typically takes 3-5 working days including vacuum bake-out and full mass spectrum validation. We keep spare filament assemblies in stock. If you require emergency repair, call our technical hotline for same-state express delivery options. Turnaround depends on current queue and distance from Vadodara.
What is the typical cost to repair an MKS Type 247 multi-channel controller?+
Type 247 repair cost varies by fault: relay module replacement (~Rs 8,000-12,000), analog card repair (~Rs 6,000-10,000), SD card & firmware refresh (~Rs 4,000-6,000), full electronics rebuild (~Rs 15,000-25,000). We provide detailed quotation after free diagnostic at receipt. Most repairs fall in Rs 10,000-18,000 range for Indian industrial clients.
Can Synchronics recalibrate my MKS 200D manometer in-house?+
Yes. We recalibrate the MKS Type 200 series manometers (200B, 200C, 200D) against NIST standards across the full measurement range. Calibration certificate with traceability is issued. Typical turnaround is 2-3 days. We also repair display failures, sensor faults, and battery corrosion common in these portable instruments.
How do I send my MKS unit for repair?+
Pack the unit securely and courier it to our Vadodara workshop. Include a note with the fault description and your contact details. We will log it into our system and WhatsApp you a job number within 24 hours of receipt. Doorstep pickup is available in Vadodara, Ahmedabad, Surat, Mumbai, and Pune.
What is the cost of repairing a MKS drive or PLC?+
Repair cost depends on the model and the fault. We offer a free diagnosis — once we identify the fault, we provide a fixed quotation before proceeding. Typical repairs cost 20–40% of the new unit price. We will never repair without your approval.
What warranty do you provide on MKS repairs?+
All repaired units carry a 6-month comprehensive warranty covering the same fault and related issues. If the fault recurs within the warranty period, we repair it free of cost.
Do you provide a no-fix, no-fee guarantee?+
Yes. If we cannot repair your MKS unit after diagnosis, you pay only the diagnosis fee (₹500–₹1,500 depending on the product). The unit is returned to you at no additional charge.
