- Page 2 Dräger X-dock Frequently Asked Questions Can I use the system also as a “mobile” system? MISCELLANEOUS Do I need a purge module for the exhaust gases (an additional pump to discharge exhaust gases)? Can an adjustment be made when the bump test fails or the calibration interval is overdue? Why is there no X-am 7000 module?
- Page 3 1000 tests carried out using these parameters would result in a consumption of 500 liters of gas! The Dräger X-dock has got typical opening times for the gas supply valves with a fast gas application test of 10 seconds or even less for gases such as CH CO and H S.
- Page 4 The database and the database management are free of charge – even if you use it to link different X-dock stations. The “Client Software”, the Dräger X-dock manager is liable to cost. A license must be purchased once, however, a 30-days test license is available free of charge.
- Page 5 In the extended version you can also change the ports used and you may also use your existing database later, if applicable. How can I access the data of the station, if I do not use an X-dock Manager? One possibility is to use an USB stick. When logged in, all available certificates and datalogger can be copied onto the stick via the menu.
- Page 6 Dräger X-dock Frequently Asked Questions What is the service life of the internal datalogger of the X-dock station? SOFTWARE This highly depends on the configuration and the number of tests run. With 2 x 2 GB (redundant) internal memory a system which e.g. carries out 40 tests per day and does not read out dataloggers or creates certificates, can store local data for 10 years.
- Page 7 SOFTWARE Yes. The X-dock Manager offers this option. However, under the settings of the X-dock you have to configure a SMTP server so that the e-mail can be sent via this server. I can see in the Cockpit that tests and adjustments are overdue. How can I find out which devices are affected? There are two ways to do this.
- Page 8 Can I use modules with different firmware at one station? MISCELLANEOUS X-dock requires modules and masters with the same firmware. It is not possible to use modules and masters within a station that do not use the same firmware; this results in an error message. In this case, please perform a simple USB update.
- Page 9 Am I able to set tolerances for the test? Dräger X-dock does this for you. Tolerances should be defined sensor-specific, since not every gas can be filled into test gas cylinders with the same tolerance (for instance, H S, HCN or THT often have a tolerance of 10%, but methane or carbon monoxide only have a tolerance of 2%).
- Page 10 Yes. Some gases such as THT or EO are not or hardly available in concentrations above the first alarm limit. During the extended gas application test the Dräger X-dock checks for an accuracy window. This can also be below the alarm limit – however, this is not arbitrary.
- Page 11 Gas balancing is also only supported for Dräger test gas cyinders. Are only new gas detection instruments supported or can I also use my existing ones? The Dräger X-dock also supports your existing gas detection instruments. However, these must be updated to a compatible software version (Firmware update).
- Page 12 Yes. The bump test station is still being supported and remains in our portfolio. However, the results of these tests are not available in the database of the X-dock system. The calibration date is certainly also updated after the next insertion in the Dräger X-dock.
- Page 13 The evaluation is based on the flow rate and the duration of the test. Supported are Dräger test gas cylinders registered in X-dock with the part number. When changing cylinders, X-dock must be told that a new cylinder was connected.
- Page 14 MISCELLANEOUS Tubes must be flooded so that the test gas reaches the module. Optimized and the shortest possible paths are used in X-dock to keep gas consumption low. However, long external supply lines require increased flooding to ensure the device is ready for testing quickly. This option is available to make sure this happens only with long supply lines and gas is not wasted.
