Videographic recorders for 21CFR Part 11 use
The ABB InformIT SM Series Videographic Recorders now have documentation detailing their compliance with the FDA 21 CFR Part 11 regulations concerning the use of electronic recorders for process data
They offer high accuracy, wide frequency range, and high common mode rejection for precision measurements on inverters, light ballasts, and ultrasonic transducers.
Each version has six soft key menu controls and five soft key cursor controls.
Configuring the display and interface, storing settings such as the scaling factors, selecting the operating mode, selecting the input ranges, and many more features are self-explanatory.
Furthermore personal instrument settings can be saved and the units can start-up with these personal configurations at power-on.
Efficient data processing permits simultaneous measurements on all three phases of a three phase system and yields comprehensive signal information including RMS and power values, harmonics, phase angles and, where applicable, mechanical power output, torque, efficiency, and slip.
A programmable data logging function permits transfer of up to 500 RMS and power values per second to a personal computer.
The Tinsley operating software produces plots of power versus time or speed, or current versus time or frequency.
The 4107A determines electrical motor torque applied to its load and torque transducers are not needed.
A speed transducer is required for induction motors and dc motors but not for synchronous motors.
An operating mode for dynamic torque measurement in the air gap of a generator or motor provides plots of torque versus speed, frequency or time, and helps to detect undesirable peaks.
The range includes single and three-phase units with varying facilities and accuracy levels from 0.3 percent to 0.05 percent to suit different applications and budgets.
Several accessories and options are also offered.
