Chapter 7. Calibrating and Verifying Sensors
Kaye Validator AVS User’s Manual 78
The Kaye Validator AVS repeats this process for both setpoints. You can also specify a check
point in your setup. During check point, the Kaye Validator AVS calculates and logs
deviation on the calibrated sensors.
When calibration is complete, the Kaye Validator AVS writes the calibration offsets, the
serial number of the Kaye Validator AVS measurement board where calibration was
performed, and the SIM slot number to the SIMs. If a sensor fails at the low, high, or check
setpoint, it is marked as failed in the SIM and in the calibration report file.
Before you begin the calibration process:
• Place the Kaye Validator AVS in a location with stable and even temperature, not
exposed to any local heat sources (i.e., close to a sterilizer, an open door causing a draft,
etc.). Temperature variations and/or exposure to external heat sources during calibration
may cause temporary temperature measurement errors.
• To provide maximum accuracy during the calibration process, power up the Kaye
Validator AVS and let it run for approximately 30 minutes in the operating environment
where calibration is to be performed in order for the Kaye Validator AVS to acclimate to
the ambient temperature.
• Place the temperature sensors and the IRTD into the temperature reference. The
temperature reference provides the stable temperature required for sensor calibration.
