Kaye Validator User s Manual 3 This section provides an overview of the system and its use The Validator Hardware The Validator is a self-contained instrument, incorporating high-accuracy sensor measurement hardware with secure data recording capability. The Validator provides standalone functionality when calibrating sensors and running qualification studies. Figure 1: The Validator Unit The Validator accepts up to 36 inputs in any combination of thermocouple, voltage or current inputs. The instrument is equipped with a universal power supply ( VAC) and connections for two Kaye temperature standards (although only one standard can be used at any given time), one Kaye temperature reference, a PC, a USB cable, a parallel printer for printing raw data during sensor calibration and the qualification study, and a contact output for signaling a PLC or other device. The Validator includes a built-in USB flash drive interface and a floppy disk drive for loading setups, collecting data during the study, and upgrading firmware, a 12 line VGA display for viewing data during a study, over 2 MB of internal memory to protect data during a study, and a backup battery that protects data for approximately 30 minutes in case the system loses power. 4 Kaye Validator User s Manual SIMs are designed to be wired once and used repeatedly. http://www.ducielopuits.com/UserFiles/ktm-300-xc-w-owners-manual.xml You can wire SIMs yourself, or buy pre-wired SIMs to reduce preparation time. Once the SIMs are wired, you can calibrate multiple harnesses at the same time and store them for later use. Figure 2: Sensor Input Module The Validator can be configured for up to 3 SIMs. Each SIM has: 12 sensor input connections A memory chip to store calibration offsets, SIM serial number, slot location, and the serial number of the Validator measurement board where calibration was performed A cold junction reference RTD to maintain measurement accuracy in different environmental conditions Using 3 SIMs, you can attach up to 36 inputs in any combination of thermocouples, voltage, or current inputs. A dedicated 4-20 ma SIM is also available with ma inputs and one connection for an external power supply. Kaye Validator User s Manual 5 An icon indicating the type of device identifies each connector. Figure 3: Validator Connections For a more complete description of the hardware, see Chapter 2, The Validator Hardware. 6 Kaye Validator User s Manual Using the Validator software, you: Create user accounts and assign user IDs, passwords and permission levels. Create validation study setups that can be run standalone on the Validator or from a PC. When calibrating sensors and running qualification studies from the PC, the Validator software features expanded tools for graphing study data. Generate reports from secure data files that contain original calibration and qualification data recorded during the study. Use the reporting utility to generate reports containing only the results you need to document your study. You can also export qualification data to an Excel spreadsheet file for further analysis User Access You can set user access to the Validator to match the way your company works. The Validator software is designed for three levels of users. Each user level has specific permissions that define system access. Permissions can also be customized for each user. http://www.bosport.be/newsletter/boss-metal-zone-mt-2-user-manual System Administrator - Responsible for the security of the program. The System Administrator creates and maintains user accounts, sets site options, and backs up and restores user information. Supervisor - Creates and modifies setups, calibrates sensors, runs qualification studies, and generates reports. Supervisors can also change system preferences if the System Administrator has enabled the Allow Supervisors to change Preferences site option. Operator - Uses prepared setups to calibrate sensors, run qualification studies and generate reports. Operators cannot change setups or system preferences. Kaye Validator User s Manual 7 Each user ID is associated with a unique user name to provide traceability during the validation process. The Validator requires users to enter their user ID and password whenever they: Create, modify, or move a setup Change the setup stored in the Validator Calibrate sensors or verify sensor calibration Manually start or stop a qualification study or exposure cycle Change preferences Whenever an action occurs that requires a user ID and password, the user name associated with that user ID and a time stamp are written to the file along with a description of the action. https://www.gvshaw.com/images/combi-30-he-manual.pdf 8 Kaye Validator User s Manual Two levels of identification - user ID and password Uniqueness of each user ID Users create their own passwords User ID and password required whenever an action affects the security or integrity of the data Electronic signature identifies the user, and includes the date and time of the action If the data is tampered with, the entire data file becomes inaccessible Password expiration feature allows you to set a password expiration from 1 to 366 days System Administrators can set a minimum-password length requirement Option to disable a user account if there are three consecutive login failures for the user ID Secure audit trail files provide a complete listing of events that affect the integrity of the Validator PC program and the Validator instrument. Audit trail files contain all events and identify the type of action performed, the date and time the action occurred, the name of the responsible operator, and any additional information required to understand the action taken. The Validator software detects when files have been added or removed outside of the program. When a discrepancy is detected, the software informs the user at startup and asks them to take responsibility for the added or missing file(s). If responsibility is denied, the software will continue to inform the user of the discrepancy when the software is launched. If responsibility is accepted, the software will request a user ID and password. Acceptance and denial of responsibility is logged in the audit trail. Kaye Validator User s Manual 9 See the Validator online Help for instructions on setting up a study. 10 Kaye Validator User s Manual Before you perform a qualification study, you should calibrate the temperature sensors to correct raw temperature readings to a traceable temperature standard. You can perform a one-point calibration, a two-point calibration, or a two-point calibration and a one-point check. Sensors that do not meet the pre-qualification calibration test criteria are marked as failed and are not calibrated. Sensors that fail calibration cannot be used in a qualification study. After the qualification study, you can perform a post-qualification verification to verify that the sensor readings are still within the calibration criteria. You can perform a one-point, two-point or three-point post-qualification verification. If a sensor fails post-qualification verification, the sensor is noted as failed but the readings are still reported. Calibration offsets are not changed during post-qualification verification. You can calibrate temperature sensors in standalone mode or from the PC using the Validator software. If your validation system includes a Kaye temperature reference and a Kaye IRTD, you can perform fully automatic pre-qualification and post-qualification calibrations. If you do not have a Kaye temperature reference you can manually set your reference. If you do not have a Kaye IRTD, you can manually enter the reading of your temperature standard. IMPORTANT: Standalone calibration requires a Kaye temperature reference and a Kaye IRTD. For instructions on standalone sensor calibration, see Chapter 4, Calibrating Sensors. For standalone calibration verification, see Chapter 6, Calibration Verification. For PC-controlled calibration and calibration verification instructions see the Validator online Help. Kaye Validator User s Manual 11 You can run the qualification study in standalone mode or from the PC using the Validator software. For instructions on running a standalone qualification study, see Chapter 5, The Qualification Study. For PC-controlled qualification studies, see the Validator online Help a Report Generation The purpose of qualifying equipment is to document its performance, either to satisfy regulatory requirements or to perform studies of your production processes. The Validator software includes a comprehensive reporting utility that allows you to access original study data to generate easy-to-read reports to document the specifics of your validation study. All reports are generated from secure data files that can only be read by the Validator software. You can create four different report types: Setup Report Calibration Report Qualification Report Calibration Verification Report Each report is traceable to the original study data. You can export qualification data to an Excel spreadsheet file for further analysis. Reports are not saved; you create reports each time from the secure data files. If a secure data file is tampered with, it is no longer readable by the software and you will not be able to generate reports. For a more complete description of report generation, see the Validator online Help. 12 Kaye Validator User s Manual To perform a typical qualification study, GE recommends the following steps in order: 1. Use the Validator software to create a setup. A setup defines the type of sensors and the validation parameters specific to your production process. If you have pre-wired SIMs, assign your sensor locations according to the SIM configuration. 2. Print the Setup Report. Use the Setup Report to verify your validation parameters and as a reference for connecting your sensors. 3. If you do not have pre-wired sensors, wire your thermocouples and auxiliary sensors to the SIMs as based on the Setup Report. 4. Connect the hardware and confirm connections. Once the hardware is connected, use the Validator software to display a graphical representation of your validation equipment to verify hardware and communications connections. 5. Load the setup into the Validator to calibrate sensors and run your study standalone, or you can calibrate sensors and run your study directly from your PC. IMPORTANT: The Validator is designed to run either as a standalone instrument or PC-controlled. When calibrating sensors and running qualification studies, all major actions should be consistent. If the PC is connected, you should control sensor calibration and your qualification study from your PC. You can choose from two report utilities: Kaye Validator now offers Report Wizard, a reporting utility that enables you to create setup, calibration, calibration verification and qualification reports, and to export qualification data to an Excel spreadsheet file. With Report Wizard, you can edit the groups and sensors that appear in a qualification report, select cycles, change the layout of columns in the report, and add comments. As an alternative, you can apply the basic reporting utility to generate the setup, calibration, calibration verification and qualification reports. For qualification reports, enhanced graphing capabilities allow selecting and removing sensors, constants and calculations. You can also control graph colors, line styles and gridlines, and insert relevant text and illustrations. In both utilities, you can access and print out the Audit Trail; you can apply filters based on users, dates, Validators or serial numbers, and specific events. 14 Kaye Validator User s Manual 23 Chapter 2.

The functionality of each menu key is determined by the active display screen. Press a menu key to perform the action indicated by the label corresponding to that key d Navigation Keys There are four navigation keys (the arrow keys). These keys correspond to up, down, left and right. Use the up and down arrow keys to navigate within a screen when there is more data than fits on the display. Use the left and right arrow keys to move from screen to screen. Kaye Validator User s Manual 17 26 Chapter 2. The Validator Hardware 2.2.1e USB Flash Drive Interface The Validator is equipped with a standard USB flash drive interface and a standard 1.44 MB 3.5-inch floppy disk drive for loading setups, collecting data, and upgrading firmware. You can collect data over multiple flash or floppy disks during a qualification run, allowing you unlimited data storage capability. The flash drive or floppy disk drive is monitored at all times for faults and status. The Validator is designed to write data to the USB flash drive interface or floppy disk drive. To provide data security, data is stored in secure data files that can only be read by the Validator software. Files that have been tampered with are no longer readable by the software. IMPORTANT: Data will not be written to a disk drive for PC-controlled studies if the System Administrator has selected the Disable Validator disk recording site option. See Setting Site Options in Chapter Connection Ports The back of the Validator (shown in Figure 5 below) has ports for electrical and communication connections. Each connection port is labeled with an icon representing its function. The connection ports are defined on page 18. RJ11 for IRTD PC Serial Comm. USB PC Connector One USB PC connector, labeled with a USB icon, is available for connecting a PC. Parallel Printer Connector There is one 25 pin sub D connector, labeled with a printer icon, for connecting an Epson LX-300 printer to the Validator for printing during sensor calibration and the qualification study. Use a standard Centronics printer cable to connect the printer to the Validator. Kaye Validator User s Manual 19 28 Chapter 2. The Validator Hardware Symbol Identification Protective Earth Terminal Caution (Refer to accompanying documentation.) 20 Kaye Validator User s Manual 29 Chapter 2. The Validator Hardware Internal Memory The Validator is designed to write data to internal memory, USB flash disk, floppy disk, and your PC hard drive (if connected) during sensor calibration and qualification studies. Qualification data resides in internal memory until you power down the system or load a new setup. The Validator provides over 2 MB of internal memory to maintain qualification data during a study. When running a qualification study, internal memory can fill up quickly depending on the length of your study and your file rate (the rate at which data is written to internal memory, USB flash or floppy disk and the PC hard drive during a qualification run). File rates are limited to valid rates for the number of assigned sensors and the scan rate. The Validator allows you to scan data at one of two rates during the qualification study: 8 inputs per second or 12 inputs per second. When you create a setup, you select the file rate from a list of valid rates. If you choose to write data to internal memory at the maximum file rate, the internal memory can fill up quickly. When data is deleted from internal memory, data already stored to disk or printed is not affected, however the amount of data that can be downloaded to disk at the PC after a standalone qualification study has ended may be affected Backup Battery The Validator is equipped with a NiCad backup battery to provide short-term power in case of AC power loss. The intent of the battery is to provide sufficient time (approximately 30 minutes) so that you can perform an orderly shutdown of the system. When the Validator detects that the AC power has failed and the system is running from battery, it issues a message and then disables the Validator display backlight. You can momentarily re-enable the backlight by pressing any key on the unit. IMPORTANT: In the event of power glitches or short-term drops in supply voltage ( brownouts ), there is a remote chance that the Validator will fail to fall back to its backup battery. In this case the Validator will reset and potentially lose any study data stored in internal memory. To prevent this from occurring, GE recommends connecting the Validator to an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) in areas likely to experience brownouts. CAUTION! Power is still supplied to the unit via the backup battery after the AC power cord is unplugged. Disconnect the W2005 cable from the battery pack before servicing the instrument. The Validator monitors its own battery voltage. When the battery has approximately one minute of power remaining, the Validator stops collecting data and closes its data files. To ensure long service life and minimize the memory effect inherent in NiCad batteries, it is a good practice to completely discharge and recharge the NiCad battery on a periodic basis. 22 Kaye Validator User s Manual 31 Chapter 2. The Validator Hardware Backup Battery (cont.) To discharge the battery: 1. Turn the power switch on. 2. Disconnect the AC power cord. 3. Let the unit operate on battery power until the battery is completely discharged (the fan will shut off when the battery is completely discharged). 4. Turn the power switch off. To recharge the battery: 1. Connect the AC power cord. 2. Turn the power switch on. 3. Let the unit run for 3 hours to fully charge the battery. A replacement battery pack, part number W2005, is available from GE. CAUTION! Batteries must be disposed of in accordance with local, state and federal regulations. Kaye Validator User s Manual 23 32 Chapter 2. The Validator Hardware 2.3 Sensor Input Modules The Validator plug-in Sensor Input Modules (SIMs) help reduce the time it takes to perform validation studies. Each SIM has: 12 sensor input connections A memory chip to store calibration offsets, SIM serial number, slot location, and the serial number of the Validator measurement board where calibration was performed A cold junction reference RTD to help maintain measurement accuracy through changing environmental conditions Each SIM accepts T, J, and K type thermocouples as well as current and voltage inputs up to 10 VDC. Using 3 SIMs, you can attach up to 36 inputs in any combination of thermocouples, voltage, or current inputs. SIMs are designed to be wired once and used repeatedly. You can wire SIMs yourself, or buy pre-wired SIMs to further reduce preparation time. Once the SIMs are wired, you can calibrate multiple harnesses at the same time and store them for later use, saving you valuable preparation time. Since calibration of thermocouples requires compensation for errors measured in fractions of microvolts, making these offsets specific to this instrument and SIM location, GE recommends that you use the supplied erasable labels to record: SIM serial number SIM slot number Serial number of the Validator where the sensors were calibrated and the date they were calibrated When you want to use these SIMs, just pull them off the shelf and plug them in. The calibration offsets are stored in the SIM's internal memory. To prevent you from using the wrong instrument or SIM slot, the system will alert you during the qualification run that the SIM is plugged into the wrong instrument or the wrong SIM slot.the SIMs are made of high impact materials that will withstand 5000 insertions, and are designed with a tilt and a drain hole to minimize the effects of condensation. IMPORTANT: SIMs are recognized by the system when you power up the Validator. Make sure all SIMs are connected prior to powering up the Validator, or you will have to power down, insert your SIMs, and power up again. If a SIM is disconnected after power up, that SIM's sensors will be read as Open and no data will be recorded for that SIM. To rectify this, power down, reconnect the SIM, and power back up. 24 Kaye Validator User s Manual 33 Chapter 2. The Validator Hardware Wiring SIMs There are two methods for wiring SIMs. You can assign sensor locations in your setup file, and then wire the sensors according to the Setup Report, or you can buy pre-wired SIMs or wire the SIMs yourself and then create a setup that reflects the sensor locations. This section shows you how to wire SIMs yourself. IMPORTANT: The SIM contains a static sensitive component that stores calibration information. Use caution when connecting sensors. GE recommends that you wear an anti-static ground strap when connecting sensors and routing wires. To connect sensors to SIM locations: 1. Loosen the two screws in the top of the module to open a SIM. There are 12 connection locations, labeled 1-12, with a positive and negative connector for each input. 2. Loosen the two retaining screws where the sensor is to be inserted. Kaye Validator User s Manual 25 34 Chapter 2. The Validator Hardware Wiring SIMs (cont.) 3. Connect your inputs. Valid inputs are: Thermocouples J, K, T and premium T (see Connecting a Thermocouple later in this chapter) Contacts (see Connecting a Contact later in this chapter) Voltage (see Connecting a Voltage Input later in this chapter) Current (see Connecting a Current Transmitter With a Precision Shunt Resistor later in this chapter) 4. Tighten the retaining screws. 5. Repeat Steps 2 through 4 for remaining sensors. 6. Once all sensors are connected, route the wire harness around the connectors and out the drain hole. Secure the harness with the tie wraps provided. Note: To wire the dedicated 4-20 ma SIM, see document Z2036, 4 to 20 ma Sensor Input Module Kaye Validator User s Manual 35 Chapter 2. The Validator Hardware 2.3.1a Connecting a Thermocouple Connect types J, K and T thermocouples to the connectors as shown in Figure 8 below. The negative thermocouple lead is normally red, in conformance with ANSI standards. Moist Heat Environments When validating moist heat processes, a sealed PTFE tip thermocouple should be used with a drip cut (shown in Figure 9 below) on the outer insulation close to the SIM module to reduce the possibility of drawing moisture into the SIM. To add a drip cut, remove 4 inches (10 cm) of the outer insulation from each thermocouple at a point where natural drainage can take place without water reaching the terminal screws (see Figure 9 below). Figure 10: Shaving from Inner Wire Jackets If moisture does collect in the SIM, remove the SIM from the instrument, open, and allow to air dry before storage. 28 Kaye Validator User s Manual 37 Chapter 2.
