VS-3000E Sensor System
Standard Operation Procedure
This VS-3000E Standard Operating Procedure involves two programs:
The VS-3000E Sensor Monitor
CalFAST 3000E ™ Calibration Software
Both programs must be properly installed prior to using this procedure. The
programs are provided with each system by VitalSensors
A Lab Reference Instrument and Lab Reference Data Must be Available so that
the VS-3000E ™ Calibration Software can be used to align and maintain the
sensors.

General Notes for Calibration and Sampling - SOP:
Startup:
o When first running a brand and it is in equilibrium near to target concentration press “Set to Target”
button. This will offset the sensor to the target concentration values.
For a brand/product to be considered calibrated, the following criteria must be fulfilled:
o Samples on 3 different tanks/batches of the same product must be tested o At least 3 samples per tank/batch must be taken o Process the results in CalFAST-3000E Software Application. (Automatically done if robot is enabled) o Best practice to perform calibration activities on consecutive tanks/batches o 3 additional samples should be entered monthly thereafter to minimize offsetting o If BevSense Validation/Verification services are purchased, quarterly a qualified BevSense engineer will
remote in and optimize sensor performance. Remote access is required for this service. TeamViewer is the recommended remote access software Sampling across 3 tanks provides concentration variability and temperature variability. Encompassing these varying factors during the calibration process ensures stable readings moving forward.
After Calibration, periodic lab sampling must be done according to the Plant schedule. The following are rules of thumb that may change with production and plant experience
o Take lab sample 10 minutes after startup of the line o For CO2 if the difference between the CarboQC or Gehaltameter and the VS3000E sensor is less than 0.1
grams/liter or .05 v/v % no offset should be entered. The measurement is within specification. o For Alcohol if the difference between the density and sound velocity lab instrument is less than .025
ABW or .03 ABV no offset should be entered. o For Real Extract if the difference between the density/sound velocity lab instrument is less then .1 then
no offset should be entered o For Original Extract if the difference between the density lab instrument is greater then .15 then no
offset should be entered

Entering Lab Data on the Sensor Monitor Using “GO” Button
Click Enter Lab Data
Click “Go”
Take sample
Enter value into correct column
Click “OK”
Enter Lab Reference Data for Product in Production Tips:
o The lab sample timer is the time it takes to grab the sample, measure and enter it into the Sensor
Monitor. This will ensure that the lab sample time is correct. o The lab sample measurement should be as precise as possible. If there is a large deviation in the lab
sample versus product target and limits consider retaking the sample to confirm the data.

o If satisfied with Lab value, click
Save. Only the concentrations that have been tested need to be filled out. Leave other concentrations blank. Sample 1, Sample 2, Sample 3 are a higher accuracy way to take a sample if three measurements of the same sample (bottle) are taken accuracy improves.
Sensor Monitor Display with CO2 only after Lab data entry.

Click LOAD DATA o Graph will be shown
on screen
o Graph shown
o LOGGED DATA in
BLUE
o LAB DATA points in RED
o TEMPERATURE in PINK
CalFAST 3000E Load Data Tips:
o This step loads sensor log data, sensor temperature data (for reference) and lab data entered into via
the Sensor Monitor. o This is the actual historical data as recorded by the sensor. o If you point a click on the CalFAST 3000E application lab and log data will be shown at any point in time
from the graph (see vertical black line on graph and corresponding data in the boxes)

Click CAL o New CAL model is
shown in BLACK
CalFAST-3000E Cal Tips:
o By clicking on the CAL button, CalFAST 3000E will align the sensor log data with the corresponding lab
data point generating a new Product calibration. o The new predicted CAL measurement is shown by the black line o If the new CAL is acceptable go to the next step. o The new CAL is enabled and stored only if the SAVE button is clicked o If the new CAL is not better than what is already on the sensor click the EXIT button o Note also that there are tabs for each measurement enabled on the sensor. All the tabs and
measurements function the same. o You can try different products to calibrate with and as long as you don’t SAVE, you can reload
repeatedly for each different scenario. o Refer to the complete CalFAST-3000E user manual for more complete instructions.

Notes on Calibration for Blending Beer
For High Gravity beer blending the following needs to be done to make the sensor work:
1. Data points need to be taken at the highest concentration of Ethanol and Sugar at least
three point when the sensor is in equilibrium. All concentrations that are going to be
used have to be taken at this level. If it is only a CO2 sensor only CO2 needs to be taken
2. Data points need to be taken at the middle range of concentration at least three data
points for at least three different tanks. All concentrations that are going to be used have
to be taken at this level.
3. Data points need to be taken at the lowest concentration that a blender will use. At least
three data points need to be taken at least 15 minutes apart. All concentrations that are
going to be used have to be taken at this level.
4. The data needs to be run through CALFAST to get a Product Calibration and once
similar products are identified a group calibration.
5. One data point needs to be taken once tanks get into equilibrium and entered into the
sensor monitor as part of SOP for each tank. This can be lessened once the process and
sensor are repeatable. This offsets the sensor to the lab concentrations automatically and
insures that the concentration is correct.
Over time Beers should be done in groups with similar ingredients and concentrations. Light
beers, Lagers, Ales, Stouts... This strengthens the calibration for all of the beverages in the
group because with fewer data points per brand you get more concentration range and
temperature range.
After the first six months the calibration should be updated for at least one product in each group
Once a month a data point should be taken on each beverage and should be processed through
CalFAST to insure that the sensor always gets more stable over time. If before the one month
maintenance any product offset becomes greater than .2% CalFAST should be run to increase
the accuracy of the sensor.
Laboratory data must be carefully taken with accepted, consistent
procedure using laboratory instrumentation that is maintained and
regularly calibrated. Failure to adhere to good lab procedure will
not yield good inline sensor results!
