This feature allows the next Calibration Due Date to be entered into the System.
A PDF report can be triggered from the Next Calibration Due Date field. This is very useful in a regulated environment where exceeding the stipulated calibration period would cause a non-compliance.
To Enter the Next Calibration Due Date
1.From the required Site's Live View window, select Edit Mode from the main View Data menu. See Figure 762 below:
Figure 762
2.In the left-hand menu of the displayed Editing and Configuration window, click on the + symbol next to the Zone containing the Sensors to be accessed. •The selected branch will expand showing all of the available sensors for the selected Zone. See Figure 763 below: Figure 763
3.Click on the + symbol next to the Sensor name to view the properties of the Sensor that is to be Edited. •This will expand the branch again to show the Properties folder for the Sensor. See Figure 764 below: Figure 764
4.Click on the + symbol next to Properties to access the individual Sensor properties. •This will expand the branch again to show the Sensor's configurable Properties. See Figure 765 below: Figure 765
5.Click on the + sign next to the Calibration icon to expand the Calibration property entries. See Figure 766 below: Figure 766
6.Click the on the Next Due icon to display the Next Calibration Due Date window for the selected Sensor/Transmitter. See Figure 767 below: Figure 767
7. To enter the Next Due date, click on the Calendar icon:
•If the Sensor/Transmitter has just been added to the System, you will notice that the default date on the form will be one year from the date that the Sensor/Transmitter was added. •To change the date, select the required date from the calendar. •The normal calibration period is one year. •A good rule of thumb would be 12 months for environments that are either contaminated or have consistently high operating humidities.
8.When you are happy with the new date select Update. |
•The Site's Edit Mode window is displayed. See Figure 768 below:
Figure 768
•By default, the Sensor and Zone editing/configuration window for the Zone at the top of the left-hand menu is displayed.
•To display another Zone's Edit Mode window, click on the entry for the required Zone in the left-hand menu. For an example, see Figure 769 below:
Figure 769
2.Either:
i.In the left-hand list of the Zone's Edit Mode window, click on the small 'arrow' symbol to display a list of the Sensors associated with the Zone. See Figure 770 below:
Figure 770
ii.In the left-hand list, click on the required Sensor's icon 
.
Or:
In the table in the Zone's Edit Mode window, click on the required Sensor's name in the Sensor Name column. See Figure 771 below:
Figure 771
•The Edit Mode window for the selected Sensor is displayed. See Figure 772 below:
Figure 772
3.Click the on the Calibration field to expand the Calibration pane. See Figure 773 below:
Figure 773
| Note: | The Calibration pane will display different entries depending on the Sensor Type selected. |
4.Enter the date that the next Calibration is due into the Next Calibration Due Date field, in the format:
YYYY-MM-DD
•If the Sensor/Transmitter has just been added to the System, you will notice that the default date on the form will be one year from the date that the Sensor/Transmitter was added.
•The normal calibration period is one year.
•A good rule of thumb would be 12 months for environments that are contaminated or the constant operating humidity’s are very high. Where the environments are clean and the averages humidities are mid-range, then every 24 months would be acceptable.
5.When you are happy with the new date select Save.
•Click on the Back button to cancel any changes to the Calibration due date.
•If the Update has been successful, you will be returned to the Zone's Edit Mode window and the following message will be displayed. See example in 774 below:
Figure 774
