Kaye Validator AVS User Manual page 105

The Validator AVS repeats this process for both setpoints. You can also specify a
check point in your setup. During the check point, the Validator AVS calculates and
logs deviation on the calibrated sensors.
When calibration is complete, the Validator AVS writes the calibration offsets, the serial
number of the Validator AVS used for calibration, 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 Validator AVS in a location with a stable and even temperature
and 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 Validator AVS and let it run for approximately 30 minutes in the
operating calibration environment for the Validator AVS to acclimate to
the ambient temperature.

Using the IRTD cable, connect the IRTD to the AVS using the top slot of
the IRTD icon, located on the back of the AVS. To utilize the Temp
Reference, use the Temperature Reference cable to connect the Temp
Reference to the back of the AVS slot marked with a Temp Reference
icon.
Before you begin the calibration or calibration verification process, you must load your
setup into the Validator AVS. If a Kaye IRTD is used, connect the Kaye IRTD to the
upper port of the Validator AVS.
IMPORTANT: Connecting the Kaye IRTD to the lower connection port can result in
distorted data in the calibration reports. Ensure that you always use the
upper connection port!
