Page 201: User And Rights Management
8.2.5 User and rights management The user and rights management of enCore devices makes it possible to determine which changes users are able to make on the device in a very detailed manner. Rights are managed centrally via user profiles. Various users can be allocated to each profile.
Page 202 Managing user profiles The enCore authorization concept is based on role-based access control. Up to six different roles can be created with six user profiles which are available in each para- meterization. The rights are allocated by profile The following figure gives an initial overview of the user profiles; the user profiles and users are described in detail below: Fig.
Page 203 Configuration and analysis software enSuite Standard login of standard users There are super users in each parameterization. enSuite creates these users in a newly created parameterization with the following access names and an empty password in each case: Administrator: admin1 Super user: su1 to su5 (“Super User”) These users are always present and cannot be deleted.

Page 301 Glossary 14 Glossary Administrator Administrator is a person with unrestricted access to the device and res¬ponsible for setting and transferring user management to the device. The Administrator should therefore have the appropriate equipment knowledge e.g. by participating in a training course. The station operator usually takes on this task.
Page 302 Glossary Base calibration is a factory adjustment of the device using multiple gases before delivery. It may be repeated by Honeywell if necessary in adjustment procedures. Basic display The basic display is displayed immediately after the device is started. If no operation is performed during a preset time, the device switches back to the basic display automatically.
Page 303 Glossary Carrier gas (mobile phase) Kept in a cylinder permanently connected to the device. This gas, for example helium, carries the sample through the separation column of the gas chromatograph. The carrier gas (inert gas) carries the sample through the separation column. The most commonly used carrier gases are helium and argon.
Page 304 ZM1, the signaling and monitoring unit enCore MC1 and the flow computer enCore FC1. enSuite The configuration and analysis PC software for current Honeywell Elster devices in the field of flow computer, data storage, gas quality analyzer and ultrasonic gas meter. The software supports all activities that are required for commissioning and maintenance of these devices.
Page 305 Glossary Error list is used by the user to identify errors and reproduce the history of the error. The start and end of a message is entered into the error list with a time stamp and recorded in the logbook. Event or note is generated if a measurement violates a state defined by the user.
Page 306 Glossary Gas chromatography Process which allows the separation of a mixture of gaseous sub- stances due to the differing distribution of its individual components using a carrier gas (mobile phase) and separation columns (sta- tionary phase). Gas family Classification of fuel gas types into groups based on their physical and combustion properties (families, abbreviated to GF) A distinction is made between 4 gas families.
Page 307 Glossary Higher heating value Hs A heat variable used to monitor the gas composition and energy con- tent of fuel gases. The higher heating value can be specified in molar, mass or volume, for example in kWh/m³. Home is a special display and shows the software structure of the device. Inferior calorific value also called net heating value or Lower heating value Hi (colloquially known as energy content or energy value) is a heat variable.
Page 308 Glossary Logbook also known as the standard audit trail, is a log archive which can be used by all software parts and records every extraordinary situation, for example, errors in the measuring equipment. Lower heating value Hi (Colloquially energy content or energy value) is a heat variable. In con- trast to the higher heating value, all the combustion products are in gaseous form.
Page 309 Glossary Network Time Protocol. NTP for the high-precision time synchronization of enCore devices with an NTP time server. Note Generated if a measurement violates a state defined by the user. The start is logged in the logbook. Operating mode Different working states of the device during operation are known as operating modes.
Page 310 Glossary Pipeline Pipeline is the 0.5 to >2 m diameter steel pipe. The instrument uses much smaller diameters. The production and installation of tubing is entirely different from pipelines. Place of use or installation site is the room or position at which the measurement device is located.
Page 311 Glossary Remote operation panel The enSuite software offers the option of operating the device remotely from the PC during an existing data connection. Once the Remote operation panel action is called up, enSuite displays a oper- ating panel on the computer screen. If a local display exist it is a copy of it, then, the display at the device may show a masked screen pre- venting the usual operation via keys or touch screen.
Page 312 Glossary Specialist or professional is the designation for a trained person who, as a result of their technical training, possesses skills and experience and who is familiar with the relevant standards and regulations. Trained per- sonnel can assess their work and identify potential dangers. Hard- ware work on the GasLab Q2 or proChain GC requires, among others, the expertise described in EN/IEC 60079-14, Annex A.
Page 313 Glossary Test gas See Verification gas Time stamp are time details which relate to an event. They contain the time in seconds since 1 January 1970, the local time zone and the local time difference (additional deviation in minutes). The format for displaying time stamps depends on the language selected on the device, for example, YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss or DD.MM.YYYY hh:mm:ss.
Page 314 Glossary User is a person who belongs to a defined user profile (including super user) and operates or parameterizes the device. The user is identified by a user name and password. User management Subject to changes by the administrator. If used correctly, it guar- antees, by means of passwords and access rights, that unauthorized changes are suppressed and authorized changes are permitted.
Page 315 Glossary minimum standards for handling end-of-life electrical and electronic devices in the EU and relates to all electrical and electronic devices used for private and commercial purposes. To achieve this aim, end- of-life electrical and electronic devices are collected separately and recycled to obtain raw materials.
