2GETTING STARTED

This section will provide the user with information about the Model 2900 humidity generator, where to

obtain technical support, software license agreement, specifications, uncertainty, facility requirements

and installation. Following sections will provide further details on how to use and operate the Model

2900 generator using the ControLog software.

Note -All pressures are absolute unless noted otherwise.

2.1 ABOUT

The Thunder Scientific Model 2900 Humidity Generator is capable of producing known humidity

values using the fundamental, NIST proven, "two-pressure" principle. The Model 2900 uses this

fundamental “two-pressure” principle to continuously supply a known relative humidity, dew point,

frost point, parts per million, or other calculated value for instrument calibration and evaluation as

well as precision environmental testing.

The Model 2900 humidity generator encompasses a high-performance stand-alone Data Acquisition

Computer that performs all functions required for humidity generation and control and a second

dedicated Human Machine Interface (HMI) computer that runs ControLog. ControLog is a software

application that fully automates the operation of the Model 2900 humidity generator and allows

various device connections through a number of different interfaces. Data from the generator and

connected device or devices is automatically retrieved and stored for viewing in either numerical or

graphical format in real time or post process. Data can be transferred off the system via a USB drive

for further viewing, post processing and printing. The ControLog software also provides the primary

interface to the operator via the multi-point touch LCD and keyboard.

Key features of the of the ControLog software are:

•ControLog stores data into individual data sheets (tab). Each data sheet contains a

spreadsheet type view that consists of a date/time stamp and the measured data items

corresponding to that date/time stamp. Data sheets consist of three similar but different

types: Device Data, File Data and Data Summary. Each type has the same spreadsheet type

view and operation, but all three have different data sources.

•Graphing is a powerful tool used to view previously recorded data or to monitor the current

data in real-time. The graph works hand in hand with the data sheets. While the generator is

in operation, data sheets store the most recent data points from the generator and or

connected devices at the desired interval. A graph can be used to create a visual picture of

this stored data.

•The Auto Profiling feature is very similar to the Generate mode with the main exception that

profiling relies on a predefined list of setpoints referred to as a profile. The user configurable

profile is used as ControLog's road map during Auto Profile operation. It defines which

setpoint values to go to, at what rate to go from one setpoint to another, and how long to stay

at a specific setpoint before moving to the next setpoint.

•ControLog supports a customizable interface that works with most devices. ControLog will

allow the user to create a new device connection using the “Connection Wizard” or open

previously saved connections. The wizard will open a separate dialog window containing

Model 2900 System Manual – Document #SG2900 - Edition 1.8 September 2019

various steps that will guide the user in defining the communication required to receive the

desired data items from the device. The user can create as many (up to 60) or as few data

items as they see fit for any one device. Each data item can be uniquely named and once

connected will be recorded in its own data sheet. ControLog also allows the user to save

these interfaces for future use. The “Connection Wizard” allows the user to step through the

connection configuration. Using the “Next” and “Back” buttons the user is allowed to

progress through the connection configuration steps. At any time, the user may cancel the

new connection or opening of a connection by selecting the “Cancel” button. Once the last

step has been completed the “Finish” button will be available to complete the new connection.

2.2 NOTICE

2.3 SAFETY INFORMATION

Important safety guidelines need to be observed when operating this equipment. Precautions are highly

advisable so that no personal injury will occur during the operation and maintenance of the system.

Observation of local and national regulations must be adhered to regarding safety standards.

2.3.1 Live Power Source

Warning! Make sure all power sources are turned off before making internal adjustments or replacing

any components. Only authorized technicians should perform any maintenance or repairs to equipment.

2.3.2 Electrostatic Discharge

Caution! Electrostatic discharge (ESD) could possibly damage or destroy solid-stat parts when exposed

to static electric discharges. Be aware because electrostatic discharges may not be seen, felt or heard at

levels less than 4,000 volts.

2.3.3 Compressed Gas

Compressed gas is used on this system and if not properly vented may create an environment where the

state of foreign matter may be propelled. Proper safety precautions must be fallowed when applying

any pressure to the system. Before applying any pressure to the system, ensure that all pneumatic

connections are properly secured and tightened. Make sure all pressure settings are set to the proper

specifications before operation, testing, calibration or maintenance is performed.

2.3.4 Personal Protective Equipment

Safety glasses must be worn when preforming any maintenance, repairs or calibration when system

panels have been removed. Gloves may be needed on some maintenance or repairs.
