Chapter 6 Standalone Manual Mode 

Kaye HTR-420 User Manual  

 

25 

  Standalone Manual Mode  

 
While the Kaye HTR-420 was primarily intended for automatic calibration with the Kaye Validation 

products it can also be utilized as a Standalone dry block for a wide range of sensors and 

applications. This makes it ideal for general use in the metrology lab. 
In 

Remote

 mode, the HTR-420 relies solely on the associated Kaye software to define and control 

the set points, dwell times, ramp and soak profiles, perform datalogging, and report generation. 
In 

Standalone

 mode, utilizing the easy to use touchscreen, the user has the flexibility of 

configuring these parameters under 

Test Tasks

. Test tasks are containers for defined test 

conditions. They are helpful for recurring testing processes and standardizing test sequences.  
All the required settings and configurations for the calibration of test sensors are compiled in a test 

task. The parameters of the testing task can be saved, and easily selected later for specific 

testing.  
The operational concept of the HTR-420 in 

Standalone

 mode is based on self-defined test tasks, 

which are described below.
