Chapter 9. Qualification Study
9.1. Overview
Once the setup is defined and loaded into the Kaye ValProbe RT and the sensors, if
necessary, have gone through a Verification, everything is ready to run a qualification study.
The Kaye ValProbe RT uses the qualification parameters defined in the selected setup to
perform the qualification study. Depending on the start and stop qualification conditions
defined, the study performs a fully automatic qualification, a fully manual qualification, or a
mixture of automatic and manual.
The ValProbe RT Loggers utilizes internal memory to maintain qualification data during a
study. During the study, data from the Loggers is stored in internal memory based on the
defined Sample Rate and transmitted via the transit rate to the Base Station for storage. The
Base Station also transmits the data to the Console for display and viewing. When
Qualification is complete, the Base Station searches for any missing samples and connects to
the affected Loggers to collects missing samples. The User can then save the file and the
study file is transferred to the Console. Qualification data resides in the internal memory of the
Base Station until it is transferred to the console.
The Base Station is also equipped with a Lithium battery to provide short-term power, 60
minutes, in case of AC power loss during the run. The intent of the battery is to provide
enough time (approximately 60 minutes) to perform an orderly shutdown of the system. When
the Kaye ValProbe RT detects that the AC power has failed and the system is running from
battery, it displays an indication on the front panel LED.
When the qualification study is complete, and the Study file has been transferred to the
software it is automatically stored to the Asset under Qualifications. From there reports are
generated via the software to document the specifics and results of the study (See Chapter
12).
