6. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
This section describes the Kaye Validator AVS system and associated equipment.
6.1. Kaye Validator AVS
 Self-contained thermal validation device with high accuracy sensor measurement hardware and secure data
recording capability.
 Standalone functionality when calibrating sensors, running qualification studies, and verifying sensor
calibration.
 Accepts up to 48 inputs in any combination of thermocouple, voltage, and current inputs.
 System accuracy after calibration, taking into account all sources of error including the Kaye Validator and
calibration and reference standards:
0.28°C at 121°C
0.38°C at 250°C
 4 GB of internal memory to maintain qualification data during a study. Qualification data resides in internal
memory until system is powered down or a new setup is loaded.
 Lithium ion backup battery to provide short-term power in case of AC power loss. A fully charged battery will
provide approximately 120 minutes to perform an orderly shutdown of the system.
6.2. Kaye Validator Software Version 1.28
 Create user accounts and assign user IDs, passwords and permission levels.
 Create validation study setups that can be run standalone or Console-controlled. When calibrating sensors
and running qualification studies from the Console, the Kaye Validator AVS software features expanded tools
for viewing and displaying data.
 Generate reports from secure data files that contain original calibration and qualification data recorded during
the study.
 Access the Kaye Validator AVS audit trail, which provides a complete listing of events that affect the integrity
of the Kaye Validator AVS software and the Kaye Validator AVS instrument.
 Fly out help guide in software operation.
6.3. Sensor Input Modules (SIMs)
 Sensor input module to which thermocouples or other measuring devices are connected.
 Each SIM has 12 sensor connections.
 Each SIM has a memory chip to store calibration offsets, SIM serial number, slot location, and the serial
number of the Kaye Validator AVS measurement board on which calibration is performed.
 SIMs can be wired by the user or purchased pre-wired.
