Software

The following software is pre-installed as standard with each process system (and also on CD-ROM). They are compatible with Microsoft Windows NT4.0 and 2000 for use on Intel compatible PC and available in English, French, German, Spanish and Japanese languages.

• RTSizer for instrument configuration, data acquisition and particle size analysis; includes high concentration software module, patented technique to enable measurement under high or fluctuating process loadings (5-95% transmission)

• Malvern Link for instrument control and operator interface, including license for award winning Intellution iFix SCADA software.

Industrial PC supplied inbuilt to voyager with elastomer keyboard .

Miscellaneous

• Includes two days training at Malvern office plus three days on-site training. Upon completion of training, MALPS will offer on-site applications assistance at a 10% discount to our standard daily rate for the first twelve months. T&E charged at cost.

• Installation, commissioning and additional training days excluded. User is responsible for installation, commissioning and application development.
  

The following documents are supplied on CD-ROM in PDF format and available in English, French, German, Spanish and Japanese languages.

• Material certificates
• Installation manual
• User manuals

• Location for instrument to be specified (following consultation from MALPS engineers):

• On-line (eductor) configuration: Sample ports (supplied by MALPS) to be connected to process line

• In-line (flowcell) configuration: Process line broken and flanges added to connect to instrument.

• A dry clean air or nitrogen supply of a minimum of 50m3/hour at 4 bar g (30scfm at 60 psi g) is required at instrument location to provide for window purge and motive air.

• A fused spur rated at 100-240 Volts AC, 5 AMalPS and ground connection is required on site to provide power for sensor and interface enclosure.

• Local electricity supply

• Instrument - PC data communications (cable supplied with instrument) to be installed from instrument location to PC location
