1. System Description GSET is a monitoring & measurement solution, which supports the production of plastic pipes. The GSET systems consists of several GSET Sensors, each is used to monitor and measure a different sector of the pipe perimeter. A complete system allows 360 degrees monitoring and measurement of the pipe wall thickness. The GSET Sensor is based on using millimetric radio waves, and employing a short Radar technology, to detect the thickness of the near end and far end pipe walls.
2. Functionality The GSET System is capable of performing the following functions: A. Measure the thickness of the near end Pipe wall B. Measure the thickness of the far end Pipe wall C. 360⁰ Pipe wall thickness D Measure the Pipe Diameter E. Measure the Pipe Ovality The measurements are presented on the PC Screen and collected into a report file, which can be downloaded from the PC and used for QC analysis.
3. Operation The Whole operation of the GSET System is done via the System PC. The GSET Sensors are powered over the Ethernet cable coming from the Main Switch box. The main System power switch is located on the Main Switch Box and needs to be Switched-On in order to power up the GSET Sensors. Switching-Off this Switch will power off all the GSET Sensors. Except for switch up the power for the GSET Sensors, all other operating action are done by the user from the PC Screen.
Once logged in activate the GSET app. by clicking the GSET icon on the desktop: GSET app should be run in Administrator mode . Do this by clicking on the mouse-right-button – while pointing at the GSET icon: - “Running as administrator” is mandatory in order to alloew the GSET System to save measurement files on the PC.
3.1 GSET App Operating Guidelines - Following the activation of the GSET App the GSET Flash screen is presented for 20 seconds. - Once the Flash screen is off, the MAIN operating screen is displayed. (with the RUN and CFG buttons). - The First Step for a new pipe measurement task, would be now to configure the GSET System, by clicking the CFG button and switch to the CONFIGURATION SCREEN - In CONFIGURATION screen, the Pipe in production should be selected from the PIPE NAMES menu ( top left ).
4. Maintenance The GSET System doesn’t require any special maintenance procedures. The GSET Sensors are IP65 compliant devices. The GSET System Display is a ruggedized IP65 screen. The GSET System PC is a commercial PC mounted inside the display stand and protected from dust and liquids. Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance (Sysmetric Ltd.) could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 5.
