AMS 2750E Section 2 Definitions Changes

- Par. 2.2.15 DIGITAL INSTRUMENT:
Clarification was added to definition of digital instruments with
digital temperature display and with temperature trace on
paper chart:
An instrument that presents process measurements in a digital
(numeric) display format. Typical examples are mechanical
recorders with digital displays, digital indicators, controllers with
digital displays, etc. In the case of a recorder with digital
temperature display and a recorder trace (line) the record
(recorder trace) is analog while the display is digital. A
recorder trace on a paper chart is an analog record.
- Par. 2.2.25 INTERVAL

Interval definition was added to AMS2750E to avoid confusion

Additional Sensors - There is no limit on additional

High and low temperature sensors, when required
(instrument types A and C See Figure 3), may be
inserted in heat sinks (See 2.2.24), positioned at the
high and low temperature locations of the control zone
based on the most recent TUS when heat sinks of
similar configuration are used during the TUS.
For multiple zone vacuum furnaces with 225 cubic feet
(6.4 m3) or less in working volume that are instrumented
with Types A, B, or C instrumentation, it is acceptable to
treat the furnace working volume as a single work zone
for the purpose of locating high and low temperature
recording thermocouples and determining the number of
load thermocouples required regardless of the number of
control thermocouples or instruments within the vacuum
furnace. The minimum sensors required are shown in
Figure 4. Each furnace shall have over-temperature
protection in the work zone.

The TrendManager Pro software can

generate graphs and reports of the data. The
graphs use the data as received from the
recorder for completeness and accuracy.

Retention &
retrieval
3.2.7.1.4
The system shall support protection,

retention, and retrieval of accurate
records throughout the record retention
period. The hardware and/or software
shall operate throughout the retention
period as specified in section 3.7
The TrendManager Software does not alter the

source information and supports the
protection, retention and retrieval of records.
A data base Management Tool provides the
means to move, copy and mange the files for
storage on secure servers. TrendManger
Software is compatible with current PC
Operating Systems and can read data from all
generations of Trendview Paperless recorders
System Access
(Passwords)
3.2.7.1.5
The system shall provide methods (e.g.

passwords) to limit system access to
only individuals whose authorization is
documented
The X-Series Paperless Recorders provides

full password system to comply with 21CFR
Part 11. 50 Users with unique ID & Password,
time outs, expirations of passwords,
password definitions and audit trail info. The
HC900 OI provides for secured access via a
User specified numerical code.
The X-Series Paperless Recorders provides

mark on chart, ability to create a report or data
can be imported to the AMS2750 Report Tool
to create a report.
TMP provides secure analysis & data archiving

AMS 2750E System Accuracy Tests

3.4.1 System Accuracy Tests
AMS 2750E Ref.
Requirement
Comment
Requirement
3.4.1
SAT shall be performed on the

temperature control and recording
systems in each control zone of each
piece of thermal processing equipment
used for production heat treatments
System accuracy checks are required for the

controllers and recorders used for
production heat treating.
SATs shall also be performed on

additional systems that qualify
instrumentation as Types A, B, or C
Requirements
3.4.1.1
SAT shall be performed using a test

instrument meeting requirements of
Table 3 and a test sensor meeting the
requirements of Table 1
A test instrument is one used to perform system

accuracy tests, temperature uniformity surveys
or calibrations of controllers, recorders, data
acquisition instruments or monitoring
instruments. The Test Instrument calibrated
accuracy allowed is 1F (0.6C) or 0.1% of
reading in F, which ever is greater
Based on this requirement Mintitrend QX,
Multitrend SX, DPR180, DPR250 and DR4500
could be used as a test instrument, field
calibration is typically required to meet this.
Instruments used for System Accuracy tests

have a higher accuracy requirement
