Chapter 1. The Kaye Validator
1.6 Using the Validator System
The Validator system allows you the flexibility to design your qualification procedures to fit
your workplace requirements. To perform a typical qualification study, it is recommended to
follow 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 Console.
IMPORTANT:
The Validator is designed to run either as a standalone instrument or
Console-controlled. When calibrating sensors and running
qualification studies, all major actions should be consistent. If the
Console is connected, you should control sensor calibration and your
qualification study from your Console. During sensor calibration and
the qualification study, you can use the Console to view data and track
your progress.
6. With your hardware configured for the validation study:
•
Calibrate sensors against the temperature standard
•
Run the qualification study
•
Run post-qualification calibration verification
