The Kaye Validator software installs with default system settings. You can change any or all of
the settings on the Preferences screen. The new settings become effective independently
3. Use the keyboard to enter your company name.
4. Use the drop-down list to set the temperature units to Celsius or Fahrenheit. All calculations
are performed in the temperature units specified here. The IRTD and the temperature reference
(LTR –90, LTR –25/140, LTR –40/140, HTR 400, CTR –40, or CTR –80) are also
programmed to operate in these units.
IMPORTANT: If you create a setup using one temperature unit and then change units on the
Preferences screen, you’ll be prompted to change to the new settings the next time
you save that setup. However, only the label will be changed, not the temperature
value. You need to make sure that all temperature values you entered are still
appropriate for the new temperature units. For example, if you created a setup
using °C, you may have entered 100.0°C as a calibration setpoint. If you change
the temperature units to °F, the software will change the calibration setpoint to
100.0°F, not 212.0°F, changing the label from C to F but not the numeric value.
If you want the setpoint to be 212.0°F, go to the Calibration screen and change
the temperature value.
5. Select the absolute pressure units for saturated steam calculations from the Pressure Units list
box. If you selected Other, enter the value3 of 1 Atmosphere in the absolute pressure units you
are using.
