- with optional control, and hot water control. The remainder of this publication will serve as further introduction to the features of the AV-9900, as well outlining procedures necessary to perform the PMO Appendix I tests.
The AV-9900 Microprocessor Based Safety Thermal Limit Recorder incorporates many time proven features found in earlier Anderson products. Ease of operation and high safety standards were brought together specifically to meet the demands of the pasteurization process. Key features of the AV-9900 are as follows: 2.1.
Hot Water Loop Control The AV-9900 may be configured to receive an input from an RTD, or mA transmitter, measuring the Hot Water Loop temperature. This function may be specified at time of order, or upgraded in the field at a later date. In turn, a desired set-point may be programmed, with output signals interfacing to the Hot Water Loop.
Hardware Descriptions In performing the required testing, access will be made to various areas of the AV-9900 hardware. Specifics are illustrated as follows: 3.1. Chart Plate Seal Provisions have been provided for placing the Regulatory Wire Seal in the upper right corner of the chart plate. When in place, this seal prevents unauthorized access to not only the internal wiring, but also access to the Security Mode Shunt (see next section).
3.2. Security Mode Selection Shunt The AV-9900 is equipped with a movable shunt to allow toggling between RUN and PROGRAM modes of operation. While in RUN mode, access is prevented to all system critical parameters (ranges, setpoint changes, etc.). Changes may be made to display functions as well as selection of the currently active diversion setpoint.
3.3. Keypad Located on the front chart plate of the unit is the USER KEYPAD. From here, access to the program parameters can be gained. A description of each of the keys is as follows: õ Used to move through menus, or increase a value UP ARROW ö...
User Display Also located on the front chart plate is the User Display. From here, data such as a digital readout of the STLR temperature value may be viewed. This display will be utilized in selected areas of the Pasteurized Milk Ordinance Appendix I testing.
Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO) Appendix I Testing This section will provide specific procedures regarding the completion of the PMO Appendix I tests. Only AV-9900 specific information has been provided. For a detailed listing of the actual testing procedure, please refer to the Pasteurized Milk Ordinance, Appendix I.
5.2. Meter Based Timing Function – Chart Verification ó Prior to completing tests, a check should be made to verify that the chart is properly programmed to show the FLOW portion on the first 40 units of the chart. This configuration is REQUIRED. Procedure is as follows: 1.

This procedure is typically performed at one year service intervals, or at the time of Hot Product Sensor replacement. 5.3.1. Pen Calibration The AV-9900 allows for fine tuning of the Pen and Display. This will allow removal of minor discrepancies between the 9900 and the reference thermometer. In addition, an offset (0.5 F typical) may be established so that the 9900 will display and record slightly less than the indicating thermometer.
During this test, we will be concerned with the temperature being shown on the AV- 9900 DISPLAY ONLY. As described in section 4.1, the AV-9900 display should now be in CONTINUOUS DISPLAY mode, and showing the STLR INP value (Hot product temperature)

Verify that Indicating Thermometer matches Reference Thermometer. Via display on front of AV-9900, note STLR INP 1 and STLR INP 2 temperature readings. If an adjustment is needed to either STLR INP 1 or STLR INP 2 temperatures, proceed as follows. If Ok, move to high end bath (step 37) and repeat test.

Published procedures require the High Flow Alarm Setpoint to be lowered until a point is reached whereas a divert is caused. In order to make this change in the AV-9900, the Run / Program switch must be in the Program mode. In Program, the AV-9900 will not allow a forward flow condition to occur, and forces a divert in all cases.
